Draya Michele said she is “struggling to breathe” as she enters the third trimester of her pregnancy with her baby girl with boyfriend Jalen Green.
“I feel like I am at the bottom of a pile of heavy humans,” the 39-year-old wrote on her Instagram Stories Thursday.
“Most hours of the day I feel like I am struggling to breathe.”

The “Basketball Wives” alum’s message comes nearly a week after she announced she is expecting a baby with the 22-year-old Houston Rockets player.
“Happy #InternationalWomensDay !” she captioned an Instagram carousel filled with pics of her growing baby bump last Friday.
“As women, we navigate through so much, often leading us to question, ‘What is my purpose?’ For me, the magic lies in motherhood and the awe-inspiring ability to bring life into this world over the span of two decades,” she added.

“17 years is wilddddd. Having fun with a younger guy is cool bc yall both grown. Having a baby by one that’s the same age as your son speaks a lot about your character as a person,” former “Basketball Wives” star Mehgan James tweeted last Saturday.
After turning off the comments on her pregnancy post, Michele posted a cryptic meme on Instagram about “being misunderstood.”
“Get comfortable being misunderstood. only a fraction of people will be able to truly grasp your essence. You are not on anyone else’s timeline of comprehension,” the post shared via her Instagram Story read.
“Also, it’s none of your business how others choose to perceive you. Most High sees you clearly – let that be enough.”
Green — who signed a four-year, $40.8 million contract with the Rockets in 2021 — has not publicly addressed the former reality star’s pregnancy.
Rumors began surfacing last year that the athlete and Michele were dating after they were spotted together on several occasions.
While it’s unclear how serious their relationship is, several eagle-eyed fans noticed that Green has Michele’s name tattooed on his lower stomach.
In addition to Kniko, Michele is a mom to son Jru, 7, whom she shares with former NFL star Orlando Scandrick.
Green and Michele’s baby girl is due in May.
