The couple’s story, marked by initial challenges and resilience, brings the latest Ryan Blaney wife pregnancy update to the forefront of their NASCAR offseason preparations.
Overcoming Difficult Health Challenges in Early Pregnancy
In July, Gianna Tulio opened up about her significant struggles in early pregnancy. She endured severe symptoms, including the inability to keep prenatal vitamins down, and required frequent IV treatments to maintain her health. Gianna shared her experience, stating,
“I can’t keep down my prenatals, so I have to get all my vitamins through an IV bag,”
giving insight into the impact these health challenges had on her daily life. She also mentioned turning to acupuncture and other Eastern medicine practices to support her journey when the situation felt difficult.
Gianna’s Well-Being Improves as Pregnancy Progresses
With early hurdles now behind them, Ryan Blaney expressed relief seeing Gianna’s health improving. He recounted her experience, admitting,
“Seeing like Gianna just go through it and like struggled really hard in the beginning, like being super sick for a long time and then like and hated it, right?”
Blaney further described the turning point, sharing,
“Like this sucks. Like, I literally am sick all day, every day for months. And now, the last couple months, she’s gotten over that. And it’s gotten to a point where she’s really enjoying it now.”
Blaney highlighted that Gianna is now relishing moments of her pregnancy, spending more energy embracing the changes, and experiencing the growth of their child without the burden of ongoing illness. This positive development marks an important shift in their family’s anticipation and excitement.
Memorable Moments on the Road to Parenthood
Reflecting on the pregnancy, Ryan Blaney spoke about the memorable moments that stand out to him. When asked by Dale Earnhardt Jr. about the most remarkable experience so far, Blaney didn’t hesitate in his response:
“Going to an ultrasound is pretty cool. We probably go get an ultrasound once a month just to see in person the growth, and like for sure seeing that every month you’re like, ‘Oh my god.’ I mean, and we’re right at like two months out right now, so he’s pretty big. He’s the size of a piglet.”
Blaney also described the excitement of feeling the baby’s kicks, noting that while he hasn’t seen movement through the belly, he can certainly feel it. Setting up their son’s room has added further anticipation for the couple as they prepare to welcome their child.
