15 Times Jessica Simpson Nailed the Joys (& Woes) of Being Pregnant

Jessica pulled out all the stops when making her bump look glam during the 2018 FFANY Shoes on Sale gala event on October 11. The star had the time of her life, and she even posted an Instagram picture with Katy Perry.

Not so bad for being an expectant mama.

Jess shared on Instagram that she often puts her feet up in the air to help them from getting to swollen and looks to frozen veggies as a go-to pregnancy hack to reduce swelling in her feet. We support any celeb who's willing to get real about the very not-so-glamours aspects of pregnancy.

Jessica isn't one to hide anything.  "We always love to practice, but we actually weren't practicing very much that month, so I don't understand ... this might be a miracle baby," the celeb mom-to-be told Entertainment Tonight about expecting baby number three. She took a lot of heat for talking about her unexpected pregnancy and for how she looked.

People, come on now. Did she care, though? Not at all.

Jessica shared this hilarious #10YearChallenge, comparing her nonpregnancy feet and, of course, her swollen mama feet. Naturally, all of her fans appreciated her willingness to poke fun at herself.

We love an honest celeb mama!

Pregnant women will do just about anything to find a pain reliever for their swollen feet, and it looks like Jessica got a little creative. 

Whatever works, right??

Now this is all too relatable. Jessica posted this baby bump photo on Instagram with the caption, "Tight squeeze but I’m pushin’ through." The easiest tasks get that much harder with a growing stomach!

We're pretty sure just about every expecting mom can relate to this. There just never seems to be enough hours in the day for all of the sleep you need, right??

We hope Jess is able to just take it easy sometimes!

"Walking in the rain to fight insomnia," Jessica captioned this selfie.

Whatever works to fight it! 

At least she's getting through it with a smile on her adorable face.

Flying on an airplane is tough enough, but flying while pregnant is nearly impossible. "I'm surprised I look like I've got it together after getting up to go to the bathroom 40 times on my flight," she wrote in this Instagram post.

We feel ya, Jess.

Might as well use a baby bump to its full advantage, no?? Halloween will surely never be the same, thanks to this perfect pregnancy costume idea. We don't think we'll ever love one of her costumes as much as we are loving this one.

Jessica bought her own recliner to cure her acid reflux, and honestly, yes. We have a feeling she's going to be spending a lot of time on that thing until her baby comes. 

Do what ya gotta do, Jess!

Who knew that leaning back on a toilet seat while pregnant could cause so many issues! There's really so much they never tell ya about pregnancy. But don't worry, Jessica is here to let us in on the unknowns.

"After a month of sciatica pain, followed by 3 weeks of Bronchitis, I figured since my feet fit in my sneaks today ... I needed to walk out a lot of anxiety!!"

Jessica sure is a trooper with this pregnancy.

Sure, this may be an Instagram ad for her, but the struggle is still real for Jessica. She's taken some heat from naysayers about how her face has looked during her pregnancy, but this star isn't letting that stop her from talking about what's helped her battle pregnancy discomfort.

This mom deserves all the sick days she needs! With how much her third pregnancy has been different from all the rest, we're sure that she's been battling some pretty tough stuff.

Take all the sick days you need, Jess!
