Fight to Stay Positive

As Carissa noted in the video above, a pandemic is "not the ideal time to be having a child." Thus, it's easy to feel anxious or worried, feelings pregnant Carissa admitted to struggling with.

"It's been a very scary road, lots of ups and downs to be quite honest," the red carpet maven noted. Unfortunately, Carissa did get very sick amid this health crisis, but not with COVID-19.

"I just had a terrible cold, we did get tested," she added.

Despite her stress, Carissa still encouraged moms and moms-to-be to try and stay positive. "For the most part, I'm trying really hard to stay positive," Carissa shared. "There are days when the worry consumes me…it's just the uncontrollable circumstances, which really I shouldn't worry about because there's nothing I can do about it."
