And ever since she revealed her pregnancy, Graham has kept it real with her followers over the last four months. She’s admitted that while she’s grown to love her changing body, it was hard for her to handle at first.
Graham said on an episode of her EllenTube show, Fearless, about a photo she posted shortly after revealing her pregnancy.
“The reason I had posted that original photo, I had just announced that I was pregnant and I thought then that I was going to feel good and I didn’t. I felt, I just felt terrible. And that morning I thought to myself. ‘Get it together, Ashley. There are other women out there going through the same thing as you. Why don’t you have a dialogue?’ This is a new body that I’m walking into why don’t I just put myself out there with this new body.“

Graham wrote, “Throughout my pregnancy so far I’ve gained 50lbs. And the best part is, I don’t care! I have never felt better, and I am so thankful that my body and son have allowed me to be as mobile and flexible as I have been.”
The soon-to-be mom continued, “Between working out, yoga, acupuncture, and lymphatic massages- I finally feel like I figured out this whole pregnancy thing and how to feel my best.”
