Ree Drummond’s Daughter Alex Says She Feels ‘Like a New Woman’ in Honest Pregnancy Update
The Pioneer Woman host Ree Drummond’s oldest daughter spoke honestly about how pregnancy has affected her daily life in an update posted on Instagram Stories on Tuesday, July 9.
Alex Drummond and her husband, Mauricio Scott, announced last month that they are expecting their first child together. The baby will make the Food Network star a grandmother for the first time.
Alex, who is now 15 weeks along, told her Instagram followers in her Tuesday update that, after experiencing weeks of nausea, she is now feeling “like a new woman” at this stage of her pregnancy journey.
“Things have really turned around in the past, like, week or so,” the 27-year-old said. “And I feel so much better.”

Alex said her pregnancy nausea—which she said she endured “all day long” for weeks—first started when she was between five and six weeks along. The worst of the nausea occurred between her seventh and 10th weeks, she recalled.
Now, “I feel like I’ve hit a point where I’m living my best second trimester life, and officially out of the thick of the nausea,” she shared. “I’m feeling like it’s going to be a great rest of the summer. I have so many things that I’ve been wanting to do, like nesting-wise, and I finally feel the will and the power inside to actually accomplish something.”
Speaking publicly about her exciting family news has also helped. “Now that I’m talking about it on Instagram, I actually feel better,” she said. “There’s so much good advice and so many people giving me so much encouragement, and I’m like, ‘I wish I would have had this like five weeks ago when I was suffering.’”
As Alex revealed in a June post on her mother’s blog, the expecting couple told the celebrity chef their happy news shortly before Mother’s Day. Several weeks later, they shared a gender reveal video with their fans as they announced to the world that they are expecting a baby girl.
