Pete Davidson’s Girlfriend Elsie Hewitt Shares Pregnancy Pain Update

by

Becoming pregnant with her first child has given Elsie Hewitt a new perspective, and she’s sharing what she’s learned with boyfriend Pete Davidson.

As someone who shares a lot of my life, I recently opened up about navigating pregnancy with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome – it’s a genetic condition that impacts how my body’s connective tissues work. I asked for advice from others, and I wanted to give everyone an update on what it’s been like managing the chronic pain throughout this journey.

Elsie recently shared on Instagram that she’s received countless messages from women with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome who are currently or have been pregnant and are experiencing similar challenges. She explained that she hadn’t realized how many of her symptoms could be connected to her condition.

The 29-year-old expressed gratitude to everyone who shared their stories, and said she’s discovering a lot about herself as a result of going through this.

Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) causes joints to be overly flexible and unstable, leading to ongoing pain, according to The Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Society. It’s a genetic condition passed down from parent to child, and only one parent needs to carry the gene for their children to potentially inherit it.

And, according to Elsie, she’s been in “absolute agony pretty much 24/7” since becoming pregnant.

In a video posted to her Instagram Stories on November 14th, she shared that she was experiencing daily, intense pain and didn’t see how things could possibly get any harder.

 

Elsie explained she’s attempted various methods to cope with her pain, such as exercise, stretching, physical therapy, acupuncture, energy healing, and steroid injections. She also pointed out a strong connection between Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus.

She explained she was reaching out on Instagram hoping to connect with someone who understands pregnancy and childbirth while living with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. She was particularly worried about long-term pain and asked if it improves after giving birth, and expressed her fear of serious complications.

Lupita Nyong’o, known for her role in 12 Years a Slave, received a diagnosis of uterine fibroids – non-cancerous growths in or around the uterus – in 2014, the same year she won an Academy Award for her performance in the film.

She didn’t share her diagnosis until 2025, when she revealed on Instagram that she had been privately struggling with the condition for over ten years.

She explained that growing up, she was taught to expect periods to be painful, and to accept that pain as a normal part of womanhood. This often leaves people feeling like they’re dealing with a difficult experience on their own, when it’s something many women share.

 

In July 2025, the actress from Daisy Jones & The Six revealed she was hospitalized for a hernia. This happened because she had been wearing pants that were too tight, which caused a gap in her abdominal muscles.

She messaged Suki on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, saying, “You haven’t tweeted in ages!” She then jokingly added, “Have you ever thought maybe I wore such tight pants six months ago that I got a hernia, and I’ve just been afraid to mention it?”

The former star of Beverly Hills, 90210 shared in April 2025 that he was recovering from surgery because his appendix was close to rupturing.

Brian shared in an Instagram video that he recently experienced stomach pain which led him to the emergency room. He explained that his appendix had a hole in it – it hadn’t fully burst, but was very close to doing so.

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

During a soccer game against Seattle Reign on September 14th at Lumen Field in Seattle, a midfielder from Racing Louisville collapsed after only a few minutes of play.

According to Reuters, the U.S. Women’s National Team player sat down on the field with a teammate supporting her, and then quickly collapsed. Trainers were called to assess her condition.

Savannah was given immediate medical attention on the field and taken to a nearby hospital for more tests, according to a statement from the National Women’s Soccer League. They reported that she is currently in stable condition and is alert.

Oh my gosh, you won’t BELIEVE this! I just found out that Adam Devine still deals with pain from when he was hit by a cement truck when he was eleven years old! Seriously, a cement truck! It’s just… incredible and awful that something that happened so long ago is still bothering him. I feel so bad for him, but also, it just makes me admire him even more, knowing he pushes through it all!

You won’t BELIEVE what I heard on Graham Bensinger’s podcast! Devine was talking, and honestly, it broke my heart. He said it’s been a total nightmare, and he’s been having these awful spasms all over. Can you imagine? The doctors actually told him he was dying – like, seriously, within the last year! It’s just… devastating to hear him talk about it.

He explained that his pain is intermittent, saying his body has some minor imperfections and isn’t quite working as it should.

A former contestant on The Bachelor went to the hospital because of severe back pain. He described being in so much pain that he had to crawl on his hands and knees, and the pain worsened during a road trip with a friend.

He described a lingering tingling sensation in his knees and toes during a March 2025 episode of his podcast, Trading Secrets. He explained that just a few weeks or a month prior, he was able to squat 295 pounds, but now he can’t even do a squat, struggles with single-leg squats, and often falls. He compared the feeling to having had a stroke.

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

Gina Kirschenheiter, from The Real Housewives of Orange County, revealed that her ex-husband, Matt Kirschenheiter, had a heart attack in March 2025, but he is recovering well.

In March 2025, the actor from 30 Rock experienced a medical issue at a New York Knicks game and had to be taken out of Madison Square Garden in a wheelchair.

The comedian later posted on social media to explain he’d actually gotten food poisoning and was starting to feel better.

In February 2025, the former Even Stevens star revealed she was shot in the face during a birthday outing with her husband, Brendan Rooney. They were on a trip to go clay pigeon shooting when the incident occurred.

In an Instagram post, she explained that she was accidentally shot in the face by someone at a party who fired a weapon unsafely. Thankfully, @thebrendanrooney quickly helped, checked her condition, and drove her to the hospital. She was hit five times, and one bullet came dangerously close to her right eye – less than an inch away.

The Kim Possible actress explained that a small piece of something got stuck behind her eye. Doctors have advised against removing it with surgery right now, but they will keep monitoring her vision, which is currently normal.

The actress expressed immense gratitude for surviving and shared a heartfelt message about cherishing loved ones. “I’m so thankful for my daughters, husband, family, and friends,” she said. Reflecting on a near-death experience, she urged everyone to embrace those around them, emphasizing how quickly life can change.”

Amy Schumer is grateful for the internet, despite its downsides, because it helped her discover a health issue. After noticing online comments about her “puffier” face during interviews, she was surprised to see doctors commenting, suggesting she might have Cushing syndrome. They pointed out changes in her appearance that prompted her to realize she’d been receiving steroid injections after a breast reduction and C-section. These injections ultimately led to the condition, which she wouldn’t have known about without the online feedback. In a recent newsletter, Amy expressed relief that her type of Cushing syndrome is temporary and that she is healthy.

In December 2024, an AHL player suffered a skate cut during a game and needed 25 stitches to close the wound.

In March 2022, Hailey Bieber experienced a frightening health scare while having breakfast with her husband, Justin Bieber. She suddenly started having stroke-like symptoms, including difficulty speaking and a drooping face. Hailey initially couldn’t respond when Justin asked if she was okay, and then found she couldn’t form a sentence. Although the symptoms eventually subsided, she went to the hospital for tests. Doctors discovered she had a small blood clot in her brain, which they identified as a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack). Further testing at UCLA revealed Hailey had a hole in her heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The blood clot had traveled through this hole and reached her brain, causing the TIA. Hailey underwent a successful procedure to close the PFO and is now doing well.

The same year Hailey faced a health issue, Justin also experienced one. In June 2022, he revealed he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition that caused temporary paralysis on one side of his face. This forced him to cancel the remaining dates of his Justice World Tour.

In a video posted to Instagram, Justin explained that the virus affected the nerves in his ear and face, preventing him from blinking, smiling, or moving his nostril on the affected side. He also shared that it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to eat.

Fortunately, the paralysis eventually went away. Hailey shared on Good Morning America that Justin was recovering well and feeling much better, adding that they were grateful he was going to be okay. It had been a frightening and unexpected situation, but he was expected to make a full recovery.

Jamie Foxx recently shared details about the health scare he experienced in April 2023, which he had initially kept private. In his 2024 Netflix special, What Had Happened Was…, he explained that he suffered from a severe headache one day in Atlanta. Before he could even take an aspirin, he lost consciousness and doesn’t remember the next twenty days.

He initially saw a doctor who gave him a cortisone shot and sent him home, but his sister, Deidra Dixon, grew concerned and took him to the hospital. There, doctors discovered he’d had a brain bleed that led to a stroke.

After surgery, twenty days later, on May 4th, Jamie woke up in a wheelchair unable to walk. He then went to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy. He expressed his gratitude for all the prayers he received, saying, “I needed every prayer.”

The reality TV star shared that she temporarily stopped breathing while running in the first challenge of the NBC competition show.

She shared on the show Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser that her memory of the event was fragmented. She recalled hearing a helicopter, feeling like she was floating, and then seeing her grandfather. After that, everything went dark, but she then experienced a bright light, which led her to realize she had died that day.

She explained that her organs were failing. She hadn’t known she had rhabdomyolysis, a condition where your body essentially begins to shut down.

Emilia Clarke, known for her role in Game of Thrones, revealed a harrowing health battle in a 2019 essay for The New Yorker. While filming the series, she experienced a sudden and severe headache while at the gym. She described collapsing and being violently ill, realizing something was seriously wrong with her brain.

A hospital scan quickly revealed a subarachnoid hemorrhage – a life-threatening stroke caused by bleeding around the brain. She had suffered an aneurysm, a rupture in an artery. Emilia underwent immediate surgery to repair it, but the pain was excruciating. During her recovery, she experienced aphasia, leaving her unable to speak coherently.

Though the aphasia eventually passed and she was discharged after a month, a 2013 scan revealed the aneurysm had doubled in size, requiring a second surgery. This procedure initially failed, causing a massive bleed and putting her life at risk. Doctors had to perform a more invasive surgery, accessing her brain directly through her skull.

Fortunately, Emilia is now fully recovered and says she’s “at a hundred per cent.”

Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, recently shared how thankful she is for her family’s support. In January 2024, she suffered a stroke and immediately reached out to her loved ones, sending them a text and a picture. She told TopMob News that they all rushed to be with her.

Cori ended up staying in the hospital longer than expected due to other health issues. While she could have gone home after the stroke, she was also dealing with problems related to lupus and kidney failure.

Now, Cori is recovering well. She says she’s doing great and has been working on regaining some motor skills, but overall is feeling much better.

Shailene Woodley struggled with serious health issues throughout her 20s. In a September 2024 podcast interview, she revealed she experienced hearing loss, extreme fatigue, and digestive problems. She described a decade-long journey to find answers, navigating conflicting diagnoses from various doctors.

Drawing on her background in herbalism and holistic health, Shailene sought help from both traditional doctors and alternative healers. The physical discomfort led to anxiety around food and eventually, issues with body image and self-identity.

Ultimately, after years of working on her physical and mental wellbeing, Shailene is now healthy and feeling good. She expressed relief and gratitude to be in a better place.
