Married At First Sight‘s Domenica Calarco is marking the final weeks of her pregnancy with a fun bump update – and a struggle that fellow mothers can definitely relate to.

Dom shared her 36-week bump update, saying she was “feeling every little thing”.

“Never been so proud of what my body is doing but WOW am I exhaustedddddddd!!!!!!” she continued.

That theme was evident in her video, as she cradled her stomach alongside a sound of someone mocking the commonly said phrase “if you think you’re tired now, wait till the baby comes”.

“Oh really, I thought when the baby came I could just relax and sleep all day,” the audio continued, in a very sarcastic tone.

Dom and fellow parents laughed about the line and the often exhausting final weeks of pregnancy – as many assured her that the “baby tired” to come is no match for “pregnancy tired”.

“How exhausting are the last few weeks? It’s like running an ultra marathon!” one follower commented.

“Girlllll I can’t do anything without needing to lay down afterwards!!!!” Dom replied.

“Newborn tired is so better than pregnancy tired, but hopefully you get an easy baby like I did, all we did for the first six weeks was sleep,” another shared.

“Anything is better than this kinda tired hahahha,” Dom commiserated.

“I’m so uncomfortable and cry a lotttttt right now lollll,” she shared.

Dom’s pregnancy journey

Dom first revealed her pregnancy news in March 2025 and is expecting her first child, a daughter, in September.

While she didn’t reveal any further details about her pregnancy at the time, Dom confirmed she would be “co-parenting” with the baby’s father.

“I am incredibly excited about this next chapter in my life and feel truly empowered by my decision to step into motherhood on my own terms,” she shared.

Since then, Dom has kept her followers across her pregnancy journey, from being hospitalised with “serious” thyroiditis to ‘baby brain’ and moments of exhaustion and of course, bump progress shots.
