Heynatz announced her pregnancy in June, taking to social media to say she was, “bursting with excitement”.

Speaking to The Motherish previously about her body during pregnancy, Heynatz said, "There's definitely some awkward moments physically speaking but interestingly I feel like I've had a greater sense of body confidence, being pregnant. I don't think I was prepared at how much I would marvel at how incredible the human body is."
