Meghan McCain, the pregnant cohost of the ABC talk show “The View,” just spoke out to reveal why she isn’t sharing photos of her baby bump or details of her pregnancy with fans.

Fox News reported that over the weekend, McCain opened up on her Instagram story about her decision to keep her pregnancy private.

“I’m sorry I’m still not sharing pics of my baby bump — there are a lot of cruel things written about me in the press on an almost constant/daily basis,” McCain, 35, said. “Normally I just let it go because it comes with the territory of being an outspoken conservative woman on TV — but I’ve felt intensely protective and private over this time in my life and the privacy of my child.”

“I hope all the wonderful people who are so supportive and kind understand!” McCain added.

She then shared a small detail about her life with her husband, Ben Domenech, as they prepare for the arrival of their baby.

“The nesting phase of pregnancy is NO joke,” McCain wrote. “Pray for my husband and the amount of boxes he’s had to open in the past few weeks”

Back in May, McCain revealed that she would not be showing pictures or sharing details about her pregnancy because of nasty comments she received about her father, Senator John McCain.

“Given that people write on photos I put up of my family they are glad my Dad got cancer and he’s in hell, I thought I would leave my unborn child out of the social media cess pool as much as is possible,” she wrote on Instagram. “A bunch of inhumane jacka–es have really ruined so much for so many on social media and I learned a lot of hard lessons about cruelty that comes with being open and vulnerable about my personal life during my Dad’s cancer fight. It is a shame.”

Meghan had announced that she was pregnant with her first child back in March.

“She and her family are very excited by the news,” a source close to Meghan told PEOPLE. “But right now, she’s finding strength at her role at The View. She knows her most important responsibility is to inform Americans to stay home and minimize the spread of the coronavirus.”
