Heather Rae Young Says 'Really Nothing Helps' With Pain In New Pregnancy Update

Fans who have been following Heather Rae Young since she announced that she was expecting her first child with Tarek El Moussa already know how excited she is about the journey. 

That excitement often shines through in the multiple updates she has shared — and still intends to share — about her progress. Unfortunately, there are days when she feels overwhelmed by finding what to wear and the recurring discomfort in her nerves.

Heather took to her Instagram Story to inform fans of the latest development regarding her pregnancy through a 40-second video. Filming in what appeared to be a car parked within a lot, the 35-year-old looked radiant with barely any makeup on her face, huge white framed sunglasses, and diamond studs.

Her blond locks were pulled into a ponytail, bringing attention to her simple round-neck t-shirt. Captioned "Baby update," the clip began with Heather admitting that she was "still in really bad pain," prompting her to start weekly physical therapy exercises. 

However, that did not help, as she revealed that she tried acupuncture for the first time that day and was hopeful that it would work. She noted that even though she was taking her fans' suggestions, "really nothing helps." She then added:

It seems like from all my moms I speak to, and a lot did not help until baby came out. So, hoping that's not the case 'cause it's painful. I've never experienced anything like this before, but I'm hoping all these treatments I'm doing are gonna, at least, release some of the pain."

This update comes just a week after The Blast reported that the "Selling Sunset" star told her three million followers how she planned to handle an uncomfortable situation. After lamenting about the difficulty in finding clothes that fit her growing bulge and explaining that she would be using that week to deal with business and office-related matters, "The Internship" actress stated:

"Update on baby: I am dealing with such severe sciatica. It's worse than ever today. It's been about two and a half weeks, and today, it's just almost unbearable for me."

Heather, who had received several helpful tips from fans, then disclosed, "I'm going to be trying a physical therapist and acupuncture next to see if anything gets me relieved. But it's so bad I can barely walk; I'm hobbling around." 

The real estate agent has been dealing with the pain since her baby switched positions and began sitting on her nerves. She initially broke the news of her new reality just before her first wedding anniversary with Tarek.

Even though her baby boy is not here yet, Heather has already started hatching plans on how she would raise him. The Blast shared that the TV personality shared two stunning photos of herself in a two-piece suit on Instagram.

While the brown ensemble made her skin pop, she skipped out on fully buttoning the waistcoat and zipping up the pants, thanks to her massive baby bump. Luckily, that did not stop her from striking a fierce pose with her back against a nude-toned wall, and her hands tucked away in her pockets. Heather held nothing back, writing underneath the images:

"Currently: the perfect mix of busy working mom-to-be and enjoying every moment of growing our boy. I feel like even though I'm busier than ever I have so many moments where I pause to do little things like feel my belly or smile whenever I feel him kicking."

The Playboy Playmate for February 2010 then claimed that she would handle motherhood the same way she dealt with the rest of her life, "with meaningful intention instead of just going through the motions."

While that did not mean losing herself, Heather said she wanted to be the kind of mother who worked and had an amazing career "but who also is there for all of the moments, big or small," for her baby boy.

To that end, she planned to be "present, involved, loving and supportive," hoping that her son would regard her as one of his role models one day. Heather finished the caption by encouraging her followers to set "these kinds of intentions early on," whether they were pregnant or not because it was "so important."
