‘I mean, my face even. I couldn’t even believe my nose, but like obviously I love the lips swelling, that looks nice, but oh my goodness, my cheeks, everywhere,’ she said on an Instagram Story.

Nikki has also revealed that her pregnancy was a surprise to herself and Artem, whom she got engaged to at the beginning of the year.

On a recent episode of Total Bellas, it emerged that before she got pregnant she visited a doctor who urged her to have her eggs frozen.

Nikki said in a confessional: ‘Even though I don’t mentally feel like I’m in the right place right now, I want to be a mom one day, I really do.’

Artem said on a recent episode of the twins’ Bellas Podcast that he would prefer that Nikki had a girl and would be ‘more nervous’ raising a son.
