For Heather, who has begun filming "The Flipping El Moussas" counting the days until her baby boy arrives is getting increasingly painful. The "Selling Sunset" star shared an update on her sciatic nerve issues with a video that she captioned, "Baby update. Bed rest for now."

The tired star began her update, stating, "Baby update, I just left the doctor just for a little check up. Everything is good with [the] baby." She then explained that she was not "doing very good" because the sciatic pain had become "unbearable" and "worse than before."

The new occurrence caused the doctor to place Heather on bed rest which the former mode claimed would be hard for her. She, however, admitted that "feeling better and taking care of the baby" was the "most important thing." After sighing deeply, Heather (added) :

"Getting close, but there's still some time. So, I have to do what's best, but [I'm] trying acupuncture tomorrow—still doing my physical therapy. I'm hoping this goes away soon. I definitely cannot feel this for the rest of the pregnancy."

The 35-year-old wore a pair of oversized sunglasses and a green sweatshirt, leaving her face bare for the update. Her blond hair was styled into a big braid that cascaded down one side of her shoulder.

"Not sure about any of my mamas out there, but with their first baby, I swear the moment I felt a contraction I probably would've freaked out [and] made Tarek stop whatever he was doing to take me to the hospital.

She taught me some tricks to try before rushing to the hospital- so much information I did not know." She conclusively highlighted how ready and empowered she was to "bring this boy into the world."
