“I Can’t Pretend I’m Not Scared Too”: Love Is Blind’s Lauren Speed-Hamilton Breaks Her Silence on Pregnancy Fears After Cameron’s Heartbreaking Confession

Their love story has always looked effortless — from emotional pod conversations to a wedding that felt like a fairytale. But now, Love Is Blind’s Lauren Speed-Hamilton is stripping back the glamour and revealing the truth: pregnancy has shaken her more deeply than she ever expected.

Just days after husband Cameron Hamilton’s emotional confession about the stress and anxiety he’s facing during Lauren’s pregnancy, Lauren is now speaking out with her own truth — one filled with fear, vulnerability, and raw honesty.

“I know everyone sees us as this strong couple, and we are,” Lauren said. “But behind closed doors, we’re just two people trying to navigate something that’s really freaking hard. And I can’t pretend I’m not scared too.”

“It’s the Most Beautiful — and Terrifying — Thing I’ve Ever Felt”

Lauren admits that while she’s dreamed of becoming a mom, the reality has been far more complicated. Between the physical changes, the emotional swings, and the constant pressure to “do everything right,” she’s been quietly carrying fear of the unknown.

“Some days, I feel empowered. Other days, I’m terrified I’m doing something wrong,” she shared. “Everyone keeps saying, ‘You’ve got this,’ and I smile and nod — but inside I’m like, Do I?”

 

She says hearing Cameron finally open up about his own fear both broke her heart — and made her feel less alone.

“He tries to be the strong one, the calm one… but I see the worry in his eyes,” Lauren said softly. “And when he finally admitted it out loud? I cried. Because I realized I’ve been hiding mine too.”

“I’m Growing a Life — But Sometimes I Feel Like I’m Losing Pieces of Myself”

The Love Is Blind fan favorite also opened up about the identity crisis she never saw coming — the feeling of being split between who she was and who she’s becoming.

“Everyone talks about the glow and the cravings and the kicks,” Lauren said. “But no one talks about waking up and not recognizing your body. Or being too exhausted to brush your hair. Or crying because you can’t fit into anything. I don’t always feel beautiful. I don’t always feel ready.”

Lauren also admitted that despite Cameron’s love, support, and constant care, she’s been overwhelmed by the emotional load.

“He wants to protect me. And I love him for that. But sometimes, I want to scream, I’m scared too — I just don’t show it the same way you do.”

“We’re In This Together — Even When It’s Messy”

Still, despite the fear, the stress, and the sleepless nights, Lauren says this journey has deepened her love for Cameron — and reminded her why their connection is so powerful.

“There’s something sacred about being scared together,” she said. “We don’t have all the answers. But we have each other. And in the end, I know that’s enough.”

She ended her message with a powerful note to other moms-to-be who might be struggling in silence:

“You can be excited and afraid at the same time. You can feel blessed and still cry in the shower. It doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human. And we need to talk about it more.”
