Real Housewives of New York reality celebrity Bethenny Frankel can’t seem to get over how pregnancy is changing her body. Now that she is eight months along, she says she feels like a “swollen beast.”

By now, Bethenny is used to putting her personal life on public display and she had no qualms about posting a picture of her pregnant self in a bikini on her Facebook account.

“I may be having a girl. I’m a swollen beast. My face exploded,” Frankel informed her fans in April 9 Tweet.

While she looks like she really hasn’t gained that much weight in her legs and tush, her face is unnaturally puffed up looking, something that hasn’t eluded Bethenny.

“Put bags of frozen veggies on my face & swelling reduced…Just had massage to try to de-swell face & feet….I look like a chipmunk,” she Twitted.

Bethenny, the author of the diet book “Naturally Skinny,” and a self-described natural foods chef, admitted she’s growing concerned over her swelling face.

But she says her husband, Manhattan real estate agent Jason Hoppy, whom she wed in March after she became pregnant, is fine with her expanding waistline.

“Jason loves it, ‘He says you’re thick and I love it,” says Bethenny. “I think he is having some sort of sick pregnancy fantasy. He is having a pregnant porno fantasy, so everyone is happy!”

The 5′5″ Bethenny has revealed that she had suffered from eating disorders for years and was heavier than she is now.

“I used to be 20 pounds heavier,” she said. “I would have been 50 pounds heavier, but I was white-knuckling it my whole life. I was completely obsessed with food.”

Frankel is now filming her own reality show called “Bethenny’s Getting Married” (a spinoff of the Bravo hit the “Real Housewives of New York City.”

With her baby is due in June, she has already launched her own fitness DVD line and written a second diet book called “The Skinnygirl Dish.”

“I’m a real housewife! On way to honeymoon. best night of my life,” Bethenny tweeted Monday morning. “Your messages were so beautiful & sentimental.have a great week tweeps!”

The couple — who started dating in December 2008 — wed at New York City’s Four Seasons restaurant. Bravo reportedly foot the bill for the swanky venue, which was around $200,000.

Bethenny’s former BFF Jill Zarin didn’t receive an invitation to the ceremony, but castmates Alex McCord and Ramona Singer attended.

Jason proposed to Bethenny, 39, in October and the couple is expecting their child in June.

Don’t worry if your invite to the wedding was mysteriously lost in the mail. Footage from the wedding will appear on chef-turned-best selling author’s upcoming spinoff show, Bethenny’s Getting Married.

As one of the Real Housewives of New York, a celebrity natural food chef, an author, and the soon-to-be star of her own docuseries for Bravo, Bethenny Frankel is everywhere right now—including on top of a New York City skyscraper without any clothes on! Bethenny has stripped down to say, “Fur? I’d Rather Go Naked,” and poses against the NYC skyline for PETA. The ad was shot by top celebrity photographer Joseph Cultice on location (that’s no fake NYC backdrop!) atop The Ludlow; the high-rise luxury apartment building on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

Being four months pregnant hasn’t slowed down Bethenny Frankel one bit. She’s shooting The Real Housewives of New York City, will set out on tour to promote her new book, The Skinnygirl Dish, and just finished filming her first exercise DVD. But on Dec. 12, Bethenny took time out on the NYC set of her Skinnygirl workout video to exclusively show off her baby bump to Life & Style and chat about the pregnancy!

L&S: Congratulations! Are you super excited?

Bethenny: I’m really excited. I’m starting to show a little bit. I don’t fit in my pants — it’s very liberating. Now I believe that I’m pregnant.

L&S: Have you gained a lot of weight?

Bethenny: Five or 6 pounds, but they’re right in my stomach. A lot of people think being pregnant is one giant binge, but you should check yourself before you wreck yourself. I’m not changing the way I eat. If I eat chocolate cake at lunch, I try not to have it after dinner. By no means is it dieting, but I’m trying to maintain some sort of balance because I’ll have to deal with it later. I’m actually thinking of writing a pregnancy book. There’s no reason to gain 75 pounds.

L&S: Have there been any complications because of your age?

Bethenny: I had a scare. I had a big blood clot before three months. It was very scary. I was on bed rest.

L&S: Do you feel like this is a miracle baby?

Bethenny: Absolutely a miracle. I’m not young, and I run around like a maniac. I always wanted to have kids, but I thought I’d wind up adopting or freezing my eggs. I didn’t think it would just happen at my age. Did I plan the pregnancy? No. Did I want it? Yes. I felt like there was something huge missing in my life that I hadn’t experienced yet.

Bethenny Frankel, who got engaged to her boyfriend Jason Hoppy earlier this month, is pregnant with her first child she tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Although The Real Housewives of New York City star had hoped to wait until she was further along to break the news, online buzz caused her to reveal that she’s roughly two months pregnant. “It’s premature to be telling people this,” she tells People.

As for getting pregnant before tying the knot, she says, “I’m no spring chicken. I didn’t think it was going to happen right away. Because of my age, sometimes we weren’t totally careful.”

But she admits, “I got to be honest, we are both feeling kind of proud of ourselves. We are both 38 and we were like, ‘Listen, your fish can swim and I am fertile.’ So that’s exciting.”
