Sadie Robertson’s 15-weekpregnancycountdown is on!
“25 weeks today and I can’t believe how much I love this little girl already before I’ve even met her. 😍 ,” the mama-to-be, 23, wrote alongside the snap, in which she showcased her bare belly.
While Robertson said that her pregnancy has been “magical,” she also admitted that there have been some “hard things” — includingbattling COVID-19and morning sickness for 22 weeks.
“Every little kick brings so much joy to my life! Pregnancy truly is the wildest thing, but as magical as it’s been there have definitely been some hard things!” she continued. “I have talked a little about my morning sickness on here, and not gonna lie, it was rough! 😅 I threw up every day until week 22. 🤪”

But although “at times it felt exhausting,” said Robertson, she has found comfort and support from fellow mamas.
“But just like anything in life that’s challenging what helps the most is having support and hearing other people’s stories that went through similar things,” she said.
Speaking with PEOPLE at the end of 2020,Robertson opened upabout her “whirlwind” year.
For theDancing with the Starsalumna., “pregnancy is the best.”
But her first trimester wasn’t absent from “some pretty crazy morning sickness, and you know, just the typical pregnancy feelings of just like, you’re exhausted, you’re starving. All those things,” she explained. “All those things. But at the same time, it’s been so fun. I mean, it’s been so joyous and so amazing.”
“I literally threw up every day for eight weeks straight, so that was crazy. This is my first week that I haven’t been sick, only one day. So that’s pretty funny,” she added.
Robertson admitted that “the hardest thing wasI did get COVID while I was pregnantand I was so sick from that, and so sick still in the morning sickness, so that was a challenge. Seriously, my heart goes out to every single pregnant person with COVID and everybody with COVID. They were telling me at the hospital, they were like, ‘Man, people have to deliver with it.’ I can’t even imagine. So that was challenging in and of itself.”
