Emily Maynard’s Daughter Ricki Shares Pregnancy Update

Former Bachelorette star Emily Maynard’s daughter Ricki Hendrick is not enjoying the final stages of pregnancy.

Hendrick, 20, shared the symptoms she’s been experiencing as of late via her Instagram Story on Friday, November 21, telling her followers: “Guys. Being pregnant is miserable.”

She added: “I woke up at 2 for no reason, threw up 30 mins later, fell back asleep, woke up at 3:45, threw up again, fell BACK ASLEEP, WOKE UP AGAIN, THROWING UP NOW BC I’M HUNGRY, but ofc I can’t eat anything bc it will prolong the cycle 🙃.”

In an earlier upload, Hendrick shared a photo of a small otter, as it represents the current size of her baby in utero. “Everyone was right, the last few weeks are the longest 🫠,” she wrote over the image. “I’m so excited to see her not on an ultrasound screen.”

Hendrick made headlines in August when she revealed she is pregnant with her first baby. She shared the news via her Instagram Story at the time by posting a sonogram. She later revealed she is expecting a baby girl.

Ricki is the only child of Maynard, 39, and her late fiancé, Ricky Hendrick, a NASCAR driver who died in a plane crash in 2004 at 24 years old when Mayard, then 19, was pregnant with Ricki.

Maynard went on to marry Tyler Johnson in 2014, and Ricki became a big sister to their five children: Jennings, 10, Gibson, 9, Gatlin, 8, Magnolia, 5, and Jones, 3.

“I can’t leave them,” Ricki wrote via Instagram in June 2024, sharing a photo with two of her younger brothers before she left home for college. “Bringing him to Florida,” she captioned another sibling snap the next month.

Soon, Ricki will have a child of her own and Maynard will become a first-time grandma.

As for her reaction to her daughter’s pregnancy, the former Bachelorette star, who fronted season 8, appeared on Ricki’s Instagram Story in September to address the baby news.

Ricki shared a question from a follower, who asked the young mom-to-be what her family’s opinion was on her planning to welcome a “baby outside marriage.” Maynard then appeared in the clip and read the question before sarcastically responding: “I cannot believe anybody would ever do that. Unforgivable.”

Directly after that post, Ricki shared another video via her Instagram Story and was equally sarcastic when speaking about how her mother took the news of her pregnancy.

“My mom is truthfully so devastated, she’s so upset,” Ricki joked as she panned the camera over to the various items Maynard had bought, including a new crib and book about grandmothers.

Hendrick continued, “She’s not excited at all for me to have a baby. She’s pissed, actually. She’s super angry. She can’t even look at me. She doesn’t support it at all. She is pissed.”
