She was also open about the difficulties of her pregnancy, including “some pretty crazy morning sickness” andbattling COVID-19,she told PEOPLEin early December.
“The hardest thing was I did get COVID while I was pregnant and I was so sick from that, and so sick still in the morning sickness, so that was a challenge. Seriously, my heart goes out to every single pregnant person with COVID and everybody with COVID. They were telling me at the hospital, they were like, ‘Man, people have to deliver with it.’ I can’t even imagine. So that was challenging in and of itself,” Robertson said.

After battling COVID, “I definitely had aftereffects for a while,” she shared. “It took a while to recover, but now I’m good. I had just some stuff in my chest for like a long time, and I don’t know if anybody else experienced this, but I had like a very weird metal taste in my mouth for like a long time. So yeah, it’s so weird. It’s so strange. My sister lost her smell for like three months. So it is a very weird sickness, but we’re finally past it and we’re thankful for that.”
Despite the physical and emotional symptoms that she experienced due to the virus, Robertson said that “overall, it’s been amazing.”
