The Bachelor star Holly Kingston has spoken candidly about her fears during the first trimester of her pregnancy.
The reality TV star, 30, revealed on Instagram how she suffered from ‘anxiety and the persistent fear of miscarrying’ early in her pregnancy.
During an Instagram Q&A, one fan asked Holly: ‘How was your first trimester? I was not expecting this.’
‘Honestly really damn rough. Nausea, morning (all day) sickness and constant fatigue got me good but what was far worse for me personally was the anxiety and very low moods… the persistent fear of miscarrying and isolation,’ she admitted.
‘Do what I didn’t do and lean on those around you who you can trust.’
‘I shut my husband out and tried to handle all the changes myself which made me a very unhappy person… and made him feel totally helpless,’ Holly continued.
‘I can confirm, for many, it’s true what they say about second trimester, the shi**y symptoms are manageable and I feel back to my old happy self again… until the little one comes and turns me into a sleep deprived monster.’
Holly’s candid post comes after she and husband Jimmy Nicholson recently returned from their ‘babymoon’ in Greece with friends Sam Beattie and Kieran Pierce.

Prior to Greece, she had been sharing her food-loving travels in Italy, but was forced to hit back at trolls who criticised her diet.
The former winner of The Bachelor was sharing her delicious meals while she played tourist in Rome, but not everyone appreciated her selections.
In a post to Instagram Stories, the blonde beauty lashed out after receiving ‘thousands’ of messages about what she’d been eating.
‘I’m going to clarify this really quickly for anyone following our travels at the moment because my DMs are a little overwhelming. PLEASE DON’T COMMENT ON WHAT I SHOULD AND SHOULDN’T BE EATING, I’VE GOT THIS,’ she wrote.

‘I have a wonderful OB advising me and I also have an incredible tool called Google -saves you the time messaging and saves me the bombardment,’ she continued.
‘If you’ve been pregnant and had people give you unsolicited advice you’ll know how damn stressful and uncomfortable it can be. Imagine that plus thousands of people you’ve never met insinuating you’re ignorant or failing, it’s not fun.’
Holly concluded: ‘Even if these DM’s are meant with love, when you receive hundreds of these a day, it becomes a dark place for me.
‘Now, off I go to eat some beef carpaccio with a big jug of unpasteurised milk!!’
Jimmy and Holly fell in love on the 2021 season of The Bachelor , and the pair went on to tie the knot at his parent’s house in Sydney in August 2023.
