“It’s not the physical discomfort (which totally sucks- bloating, bruising, swelling, heaviness) but the emotional discomfort,” stated Port.
Before her egg is retrieved, Whitney Port is being open about her feelings.
The 39-year-old Hills alumna shared with her followers on Tuesday, August 6, her conflicted emotions around her impending surgery.
“As I go into my egg retrieval, I wanted to share an honest update about how I’m feeling, and honestly, I’m feeling awful,” wrote Whitney Port on Instagram. “It’s not the physical discomfort (which totally sucks- bloating, bruising, swelling, heaviness) but the emotional discomfort.”
The With Whit podcast host said that “the hormones are making me feel like I can’t manage anything, like everything is just the worst,” and expressed that she’s nervous she won’t get any “quality” eggs from the procedure.
“I’m scared,” she confessed. “My energy is non existent and I feel like I’m not showing up the way I should as a wife, mom, sister, friend, co-worker, etc. My stomach feels up in my throat and I’m on the verge of tears/actual tears all day.”
While The City alum expressed that she’s felt different emotions each day, she thanked her fans for their continuous “support and words of encouragement.”
“I’ll be ready to return to gratitude soon, but I am just not there yet with so much up in the air. That may be pessimistic, but I don’t want to force any feelings either,” she wrote.
Alongside her spouse, Tim Rosenman, Port is the mother to seven-year-old Sonny Sanford. The fashion designer previously said that she experienced her first miscarriage when Sonny was two years old. She has been candid about her “long and trying” reproductive struggle.
“The first time, I was someone who got pregnant very easily. Then, the second time around, we’ve just struggled. There’s been miscarriage after miscarriage,” she told in April.
Port has had a chemical pregnancy and three losses while attempting to have a second child. Her surrogate suffered two losses of her own when she decided to use surrogacy.
Speaking about her struggle has been a choice for Port, who told that it can be “so isolating.”
“So many women go through it and each experience is so unique and a lot of women feel like they don’t really have the space to to talk about it. So, for me, filming this and sharing this felt very liberating,” she said.
