“While I was out collecting the eggs, I wanted to share an honest update on how I’m feeling, and honestly, I feel terrible,” Port, 39, shared via Instagram on Tuesday, August 6, next to a photo of her in a light blue swimsuit.
“It’s not the physical discomfort (which is totally annoying: bloating, bruising, swelling, heaviness), but the emotional discomfort. The hormones make me feel like I can’t handle anything, like everything is just the worst,” Port continued. “And I’m nervous about not getting quality eggs, and what’s all this going to be for? I’m afraid. My energy is not there and I feel like I am not showing up the way I should as a wife, mother, sister, friend, coworker, etc.
The former Hills star, mother of 7-year-old son Sonny, whom she shares with her husband Tim Rozenman, has previously detailed her difficult journey to having a second child. Port has experienced three miscarriages in recent years. Port and Rosenman revealed in November 2023 that their surrogate had also suffered two losses of their own.
It’s been a tough road to parenthood for many celebrity parents, including Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. After in vitro fertilization didn’t work on the first try, Teigen wondered if she had done something wrong. “You’re just looking for something to blame, especially yourself,” Teigen explained to New York Magazine’s The Cut in April […]
“My stomach feels in my throat and I’ve been on the verge of tears/real tears all day,” Port wrote via Instagram, noting that she’ll “be grateful again soon” but that she’s “just not there yet with so much high up in the sky.”
Port and Rosenman spoke about their surrogate mother’s pregnancy loss on her podcast “With Whit” last November.
“We ended up doing two transfers with the surrogate mother. Both transfers ultimately ended in failure. The last miscarriage was just a month ago,” Port said.

Whitney Port and Tim Rosenman are everyone’s goals. The pair met in the mid-2000s at a birthday dinner for one of Port’s ex-boyfriends. “Tim was there. And I was sitting across from him,” she told She Knows in 2014. “I left the dinner and said to a mutual friend, ‘Oh my God. Who is that […]
Exclusively spoken against We weekly in October 2023, Port shared that her son, Sonny, wants a sibling “so bad.”
“Never in a way that makes me feel bad, but he wants a buddy or someone to take care of,” she said. ‘I don’t think he realizes what that will mean for him once the baby comes! I don’t want to say, ‘Hey, appreciate this now, because in a year, or two years, or whenever it happens…’ But he’s going to be the best big brother.”
