    Elsie Hewitt has been in constant pain throughout her pregnancy

    The Dave star is expecting her first child with boyfriend Pete Davidson but the happy time has been tainted due to her discomfort, which she believes is because endometriosis - a reproductive condition where tissue grows outside of the uterus - is "heavily linked" to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder.


    She said in a video shared to her Instagram Story: "I've been in pain since the very beginning and it's just getting worse and worse.

    "I'm in absolute agony pretty much 24/7. This morning, it's really bad."

    Elsie explained she has attempted exercise, stretches, physical therapy, steroid injections, acupuncture and even energy healing in a bid to try and "manage the pain", and urged her followers to offer her some "hope".

    She said: "At this point, if you can think of something that there is to do about the pain, I have tried it.

    "I have tried everything, and it's only getting worse and I cannot walk.

    "I am just straight-up suffering and in so much pain every single day. I actually really don't know how it could get worse than this...

    "So, I'm turning to Instagram because I would really like to speak to someone who has been through pregnancy and birth with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Did your pain go away after? Does it get better? Am I gonna die?

    "I just really want to feel a little bit of hope."

    The 29-year-old star previously admitted she was "convinced" she was infertile because of her struggles with endometriosis.

    Explaining why she had surgery to tackle the condition, she told People magazine: "I was 100 percent convinced that I was infertile and not going to be able to have kids.

    "A big part of why I opted for the surgery was, first and foremost, my symptoms, but second, to preserve my fertility or try to get to a place where I could sustain the chances of having a family one day."

    Elsie went on to admit she feels "very grateful" for the way her life has turned out and she is excited for Pete to become a dad, revealing he's been taking good care of her throughout the pregnancy.

    She said: "I think we're going to be cool parents. I hope! I sometimes just see or feel the way that we are with one another, and I'm really glad and I'm really proud that this is how it is and this is how it's going to be.

    "I could not ask for a better father for my child. I'm so happy it's him ... I think he's going to be such a good dad. I'm so excited to see it ... "

    Pete previously confessed he feels "so guilty and horrible" that Elsie is unable to go through an "ideal" pregnancy because of the public scrutiny they face as a couple in the spotlight.

    Speaking on The Breakfast Club, he said: "I feel bad for my girl because I bring a lot of s***. "Anything I do or she does now is gonna be a thing.

    "She's a very private person and she's the one doing all the work. It's supposed to be a beautiful experience.

    "She's never made me feel this way or said anything, but I feel so guilty and horrible that I could not allow her to have the ideal pregnancy that almost every woman gets to have and enjoy."
