While in the car en route to Alex’s doctor’s office, Mauricio could be heard identifying his wife as “Big Bertha.” Alex chuckled in response before repeating the name and adding, “My pregnancy alter ego is Big Bertha.”
“Every time I get out of bed in the morning, I’m like, ‘Ooh, Big Bertha,’” Alex, 27, explained. She then informed her Instagram followers that she and Mauricio would “get to see our little girl” after their ultrasound. She later shared a photo on Instagram Stories of the ultrasound image they received during their appointment.

Once at the doctor’s office, the couple filmed a new video clip during which Mauricio observed, “Big Bertha’s on the move.” The comment caused his wife to pause as she considered whether she appreciated his use of the name.
“I feel like I can call myself Big Bertha, but I don’t know if you can call me Big Bertha,” she told him.
Alex and Mauricio announced that they were expecting their first child together back in June. They shortly thereafter shared a sweet gender reveal video on Instagram, which alerted fans that they were expecting a baby girl. In the months since, Alex has shared several updates with her social media followers about her pregnancy journey, including vulnerable admissions about some of the struggles she faced early on.
Alex and Mauricio’s baby, who is expected to arrive in early 2025, will be The Pioneer Woman host’s first grandchild.
