Pregnant influencer Christie Swadling burst into tears on Wednesday when her fiancé Joel Price refused to talk to her on the phone while at work.
The social media personality, 27, took to Instagram with a series of tearful videos which showed her sobbing while driving her car.
Through tears, Christie explained she was bawling her eyes out because Joel, 38, was ‘at work’ and couldn’t talk to her on the phone.
‘Pregnancy hormones are literally no joke. This is just pathetic,’ she began to tearfully rant.
‘I’m literally crying because I rang Joel and he couldn’t talk to me because he had no time because he’s at work and I’m crying.
‘Like what the hell, I’m just so emotional. I can’t stop crying. I keep laughing to myself because I’m like, “Why the f**k are you crying?”
She went on to say: ‘I got so annoyed because he couldn’t talk to me and now I can’t stop crying… it’s so stupid. Like what the hell? There’s people dying.’
Christie continued to cry for several minutes, adding that she ‘feels like if I don’t cry I’ll explode’ because of her pregnancy hormones.

‘I’m so sad right now but I’m not sad,’ she tried to explain.
Twenty minutes later, Christie shared another video of herself lying down at home saying she was ‘fine’ and just feeling ‘tired’.
It comes just a week after Christie was roasted online for announcing her pregnancy with fiancé Joel last Tuesday morning.
The influencer shared a video to Instagram which showed her placing red roses in front of a large glass sign that read ‘Baby Price, Due May 2025’.
‘Words can’t describe our happiness right now. Baby Price Due May 2025,’ she wrote in the caption.
However, some fans questioned the ‘bizarre’ video and said it looked like the couple were announcing a loss.

‘It looks like a grave stone,’ one person wrote on social media.
‘When I first saw it I thought they were announcing a [death],’ a second person commented.
‘Wtf is with the announcement? It looks like someone’s just died,’ another said.
‘I thought, like it was a loss announcement or something,’ one agreed.
In her post, Christie explained she was preparing to start her IVF journey when she took a pregnancy test.
‘A day before we had an appointment with our Dr to start our IVF journey I went to take another pregnancy test from feeling ALL the symptoms known to a pregnant woman,’ she began.

‘And there I found a pre positive test I did a few weeks back but inpatient me after the numerous negative tests I’ve had previously just seen one line first and put it straight back in the draw… after 6 more positive test that night I was finally convinced my dreams have became reality,’ she continued.
‘Joel has been my biggest supporter through this journey and I’ve known since day 1 he is who I am doing life with, I am so excited for this new chapter of our life.’
The announcement came months after Joel was served with a restraining order and charged with domestic violence-related common assault.
Joel was served an interim Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) by NSW Police on behalf of Christie in April. He pleaded not guilty to the assault charge.
Daily Mail Australia understands the matter was heard in court on August 6.
The pair began dating in 2020 before Joel got down on one knee and proposed the following year.
