Pregnant Olivia Culpo cradles bump in all-black look after detailing traumatic first trimester health scare

Five days into her road trip with to Tennessee with husband Christian McCaffrey, Olivia Culpo is giving her 5.5. million Instagrams fans and followers some more looks at her growing baby bump.

In her latest post, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model dropped a few new images of herself decked out in a chic, all-black ensemble, which appears to be a follow-up to her shoot from last Friday.

That’s when the H๏τ and heavy couple headed out and left Charlotte, only to stop near a pond once they drove into the Volunteer State.

‘It’s not over til the pregnant lady swings,’ the Cranston, Rhode Island native, 32, joked in the caption, in a reference to a pH๏τo and video of her on a tree swing.

Among the new pictures, Culpo cradles her burgeoning tummy in her stylish black ensemble, that included fitted pants and top, all while posing into front of a scenic pond and mountains.

With the winter chill in the air, she also covered up with a matching sheer jacket, leather gloves, along with cool matching ankle boots.

The Miss Universe 2012 winner capped off her look with large-frame sunglᴀsses, and her brown tresses flowing down over her shoulders and past the middle of her back with a center part.

Fans also got a closer look at the pregnant star, who only just went public with her big news nine days ago, by sharing a sH๏τ of herself with the pond dock in the backdrop.

A video of Culpo with her legs pointed forward on that tree swing was also part of the road trip update.

There’s also a fresh new one of McCaffrey from behind, as he holds their adorable pup Oliver Sprinkles towards the camera.

The San Francisco 49ers star running back opted for a more sporty vibe in the fashion department, dressed in a gray hoodie, matching sweatpants, and a black coat.

He added a black baseball cap over his short blonde hair, while his wife of nine-months accessorized with cool sunglᴀsses, and her dark brown tresses flowing down over her shoulders and chest. 

The first snap in Friday’s gallery was taken inside their Cadillac SUV as they drove past the sign welcoming them to the Volunteer State. 

They also sH๏τ a selfie of themselves snuggling up together, where the Miss Universe 2012 winner shows off a bit of her tummy in her chic outfit, all the while they both looked up at the camera.

In the third and final pH๏τo of the original post, Culpo proudly gives a full-body glimpse at herself sitting on the long swing as she cradled her baby bump.

The scenic view shows her relaxing with those gorgeous mountains and pond serving serving  as the backdrop. 

Culpo confirmed her pregnancy a week ago Monday morning, posing for some pictures where she’s seen touching her pending bundle of joy.

‘Next chapter, motherhood,’ she captioned the post, while sharing a video of her and McCaffrey holding hands and kissing during an outdoor shoot.

A source told DailyMail.com at that time the model is at least six months along in her pregnancy, but that it was hardly a new revelation to those close to the couple considering she started telling family members around Thanksgiving.

It turns out the model and actress was actually surprised she got pregnant so soon after the couple’s wedding this past June, a source has told DailyMail.com.

Meanwhile, Olivia – who suffers from endometriosis – recently detailed her traumatic first trimester of pregnancy as she revealed that a blood clot in her uterus caused her to bleed ‘everywhere.’

In a TikTok video posted Tuesday, which was recorded in December 2024 when she was nine weeks along, Culpo said she suffered a ‘subchorionic hematoma’ after being bedridden for weeks with pneumonia.

‘I have been on bed rest [for two weeks] and before that I had pneumonia, so I was sick also for two weeks. I’ve been truly on bed rest for four weeks,’ the expectant mother began.

‘Towards the end of the two weeks of being really sick, I got a subchorionic hematoma, which is basically a blood clot in my uterus. And I was bleeding everywhere.’

The model and actress also gave a full-body glimpse of herself on the swing cradling her baby bump with the mountains and a pond in the background

A subchorionic hematoma is ‘when blood collects under the chorion membrane (the membrane that surrounds a fetus) during pregnancy,’ according to the Cleveland Clinic.

The condition often occurs in those who are ‘between 10 to 20 weeks pregnant’ and the most common symptom is vaginal bleeding.

The bleeding may increase the chances of pregnancy complications, including miscarriage and premature birth, but a subchorionic hematoma can often ‘resolve on its own without treatment.’

Those with uterine irregularities, like Culpo who has spoken publicly about her battle with endometriosis, are at higher risk for subchorionic hematomas.

Culpo continued: ‘So at this point, I was so exhausted [after] two weeks of just not being able to move. And now, all of a sudden, just like purging. It was like a lot.’

She stressed that the bleeding was extremely ‘heavy.’

Culpo quickly sought out the help of a doctor and relieved to learn that her unborn child was unharmed.

‘I went to the doctor and it was exciting to see that there was still a heartbeat.’

She then detailed her doctor’s strict directions for recovery, which centered on her getting plenty of rest.

‘”You can’t go anywhere. You can’t travel.” Like, just truly staying in bed,’ Culpo explained.

She also said that she started taking ‘800 grams’ of progesterone suppositories, which are inserted vaginally and help raise levels of the pregnancy hormone progesterone.

‘The [suppositories] help keep the environment best for the baby. It calms down the uterine wall and allows the placenta to attach,’ Culpo explained.

Olivia and Christian, who had a five-year romance before tying-the-knot last year, have yet to announce the gender of the baby, although Culpo says her intuition tells her she’s having a boy, in a recent TikTok video.
