Filming Season 2 Of ‘Mormon Wives’ While Pregnant
Filming a reality show can be exhausting, especially when there’s tons of drama constantly swirling around, which is a given with this beloved crew. So filming while pregnant adds a new layer of exhaustion for the three expecting mamas.
“Me and Mikayla have talked about how filming a show and being pregnant would be hard,” Neeley said. “When you’re pregnant, you’re insecure. Your body’s changing, your face is changing, and so I feel like that’s a part that hasn’t really hit me yet.”
She added, “Luckily, I wasn’t too far along filming this last bit, but I am a little worried about seeing myself in the future after filming pregnant. I’m not looking forward to that, because it can be hard on your self-esteem.”
Affleck shared a tip for anyone who is pregnant, “listen to your intuition and your body – trust what it needs.”
