Former WWE wrestler Nikki Bella insisted that she is “feeling better” as she provided an update on her pregnancy by showing fans her 15-week baby bump.
The 36-year-old is expecting her first child with fiancé and former Strictly Come Dancing partner Artem Chigvintsev.
She announced her pregnancy last month at the same time as twin sister Brie, the other half of retired WWE duo The Bella Twins, with their respective due dates less than two weeks apart.
Bella has previously admitted that she has suffered with nausea and although she admitted to not feeling well earlier in the week, she said that she has seen improvements over the last few days.
“Thursday I turned 15 weeks. I should say we, I feel like I leave Artem out of this a lot,” Bella said in a video shared on her Instagram account on Saturday (via The Sun).

Directing the camera in the direction of her stomach, the retired WWE superstar continued: “We turned 15 weeks, look at that, my baby.
“I am very excited. I’ve been feeling so much better. Definitely beginning of the week, I definitely was run down and starting to feel sick again.
“But I got an IV prescribed by my doctors so if you guys do IV’s and you’re pregnant, go through your doctor first. It really helped me a lot.”

In addition to providing a clear image of her bump in the mirror, Bella also provided an quick update on her sister and voiced her intention to resume training now she is back to full health.
She added: “Brie and I finally rested last night, we did not do Valentine’s Day dinner, we were all in bed at like 7:30.
“I am feeling so much better, and I want to start training a lot again.

“I have not been training and I see it in my legs which is fine, a little bit in my arms, but I am finally starting to get on that.”
Bella said in January that news of her pregnancy came as a total surprise, telling People Magazine : “It took even me a good week to come to terms with like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m pregnant.’ I’m not ready for it.”
Meanwhile, sister Brie added: “People are going to think that’s a joke. We both are shocked.
“People are going to think we planned it, but you can’t really plan pregnancy!”
