It’s something I have wanted to be my whole life. I was definitely shocked when I found out. And so nervous! I wasn’t expecting it and felt I wasn’t ready but this journey of life is unpredictable. I thank God every day and night for bringing this amazing blessing and miracle into my life! I am already SO IN LOVE!! My baby and I have already fought the flu together and had victory! So I know we can take on anything in this world we want to... together. I love my little warrior baby! My baby is SO strong it’s crazy! (Mama felt it everyday first trimester lol) Can’t tell if it’s the wrestling genes or the ballroom!! Lol It has lover and fighter blood and I will help my baby be a game changer this world needs! Thank you all for the love and support! So happy not to keep it a secret anymore! I’m 13 weeks tomorrow and already showing a little! So goodbye big sweatshirts and back to my crop tops lol jk well maybe not! @thebriebella This life just wants you and I to be twinning at everything we do lol and even though we were shocked, beyond shocked, here’s another journey that I am so grateful to God to have you by my side. You have already been the best teacher! And Bird too lol making sure I drink a lot of water and telling me my belly is getting big. Goodness I love her so! Oh and @theartemc your pure joy, bliss, love and happiness has meant everything to me! To already watch you step up to be the best Dad for this little one makes my heart smile so big! I know we aren’t husband and wife yet but I love our commitment to this child already. Ok Bella Army prepare to get flooded with our pregnancy journey till August! And make sure to watch our @people magazine interview online and a fun interview and more pics will hit newsstands on Friday! And the third slide!! Omg my baby!!! PS! Artem and I haven’t taken our cute pregnancy announcement pics yet lol but we are working on that! Brie and Bryan reminded us of that yesterday!! Lol

Ever since Nikki Bella announced that she was pregnant with her first child, she has been showcasing her pregnancy journey on Instagram. On February 20, she posted this and wrote, "Hi my little baby. 16 weeks today!"

On March 25, after she was announced as an inductee in the Hall of Fame as part of the Bella Twins with sister Brie, she posted this photo in her WWE in-ring gear and wrote, "What Hall of Fame was about to look like lol but ya never thought you’d see this! Atleast I didn’t lol filming some fun stuff today and I just love that all I can find in my pantyhose drawer is control tops with the shorts... oh how life has already changed! #20weeks #fearlessbaby."

On April 10, Nikki Bella posted a candid and cosy photo with fiance Artem and wrote, "23 weeks today! We are definitely on cloud 9 knowing we are getting closer and closer to meeting our baby."

On April 13, Nikki Bella shared a simple selfie with Artem and had a big post: "Time for that no filter post. Pregnancy has given me pigmentation on my cheeks and upper lip with a growing bump that makes me smile everyday. Quarantine has reminded me of the sparkles (grays) and wild eyebrows I have and the goals I have made throughout my life and want to focus more on. Oh and that I have an amazing chef as a fiancé! Who’s trying to make me gain a lot more pounds than my thighs that are already touching and rubbing would like. Can’t wait for my Laser Away appointments after breast feeding bc I have realized there is no boundary to where, when and how much your hair wants to grow. (I’m officially becoming Brie lol!!) Learning to sleep on my side this past month has been a challenge especially bc it has brought a lot of neck pain back and now my cheeks have some fun friends that have joined them (pimples lol) can’t wait to get a facial again! Dreaming of that Sothys spa in Paris (dream big right lol) But goodness it’s pretty amazing to start to see the real, natural you again right? Without all the beauty appointments and makeup everyday. I hope in this time we can start to love ourselves more. Appreciate the flaws, the changes, our age. I’m going through a lot of course bc of pregnancy but goodness when I feel my baby kick or move, I don’t care how many pounds I have gained, or skin changes I have, or pain that feeling is unlike anything I have ever experienced. It makes me smile so big every time. The love is already greater than any other! Excited for the rest of this journey called the miracle of life. Hope to connect more with all you mommies on here."

On April 20, Nikki Bella posted a picture of her ready with some coffee in the morning and had a hearty caption: Lots to smile about this morning! Saturday I mainly laid in bed, had no energy, was beyond exhausted, and definitely going through a lot of pregnancy stuff. Yesterday I felt a lot better but was down bc I was feeling my baby kick so much and then couldn’t the past two days. I read about and have heard from other moms about this, that it happens but you can’t help but let it get you down. Then this morning I woke up to so many kicks! Big kicks! Even Daddy got to feel them. Definitely think our little one grew a lot this weekend! So we are all smiles this morning! And smiling too bc I have been loving the new @mybirdiebee drops. Happy I can still rock them! lol I’m in a large top and medium pants and I know Brie is in both mediums. At Birdiebee we were going to have a relaunch in the spring which has been put on hold of course. We are becoming more sustainable, more eco friendly, and truly trying to follow the r’s: reduce, reuse, recycle. Makes me so proud!! My sister has been at the forefront of changing this! It’s beautiful! More to come on it soon! And soon we will be announcing some amazing givebacks. Want to make our customers proud of Birdiebee, just like we are. Truly love all the people that work at Birdiebee, they are always striving to not only make the clothing better (in every where) but also wanting to do good along the way!

Nikki Bella has showcased confidence during her pregnancy and has welcomed her pregnancy weight: I finally got maternity clothes! I’m so grateful for @legoeheritage What I’m obsessed with them the most is their clothes don’t look like maternity, I still feel like me! And they are great for breastfeeding too! So it’s nice to buy maternity clothes that you can rock through your entire motherhood journey!
