She confirmed in March that she’s expecting her first child with husband Brian Keys.

And on Thursday, plus-size model Hunter McGrady revealed that she contracted COVID-19 in April.

Speaking with her sister Michaela McGrady on an episode of their podcast Model Citizen, Hunter shared: ‘When I was seven months pregnant, which no one knows, I had COVID.’ 

Health scare: Hunter McGrady, who is expecting her first child, has revealed that she caught COVID-19 seven months into her pregnancy as a result of doing a photo shoot

The 28-year-old said she caught the coronavirus during a photo shoot. 

‘I had to do a shoot. I was outside shooting, and the only time I had my mask off was when I was shooting,’ she explained, per People.

‘It was only a four-person set and they were far away, and I caught COVID and I gave it to my husband.’

Naturally, she said she was ‘freaking out’ at having the virus but fortunately, she was not seriously ill.

She described it as ‘like a sinus infection’ although she did lose her sense of smell.

Expecting: The 28-year-old plus-size model confirmed in March that she and husband Brian Keys, who wed in 2019, are going to be parents of a baby boy

It’s not the only health crisis she has faced as she prepares to welcome a baby boy.

After recovering from COVID-19, she said, she was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, a serious condition affecting pregnant women which causes high blood pressure and may affect the body’s organs including the kidneys and liver.

Left untreated, pre-eclampsia can be fatal for both mother and baby and Hunter explained that she may have to be induced ahead of her planned due date.

Health woes: Hunter also shared on her Model Citizen podcast Thursday that she’s been diagnosed with potential life-threatening  pre-eclampsia and has to be induced ahead of her due date
