“Although it sounds like an STD and I should freak the F out, I know this is somewhat common and not to be overly worried about. I was scheduled to have a colposcopy just to take a better look at the skin cells in my vagina.😳," the 33-year-old TV personality continued.
“Also, not really a big deal as long as the doc doesn’t see dysplasia … if she does then it could be a sign of early cancer.😱" she added. "... Buuut, I got the call today saying that my doc did see dysplasia & since I’m pregnant, we will have to wait to biopsy my cervix until after I have the baby.”

“I just have to wait until after I have the baby to really know what’s going on inside me, but I’m just putting the positive vibes out there & praying & being so THANKFUL for my health.🙏🏻,” she said.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“I couldn’t help but think about all the women who are pregnant and find out super scary news like they actually do have cancer or a fatal disease and they’re left with the tough decision: treat yourself while pregnant to save your life but risk losing the baby OR take your chances and postpone treatment to save your baby.😩” Otis continued. "I cannot even imagine having to make that decision.😢.
"My heart goes out to those mamas. If you’re one of them, I’m sending you SO MUCH LOVE.💗” she added.

In September, Otis and Hehner, 35, revealed that they were expecting after suffering multiple miscarriages. The couple, who tied the knot in 2014 after first meeting on the FYI show, are already parents to 2-year-old daughter Gracie.
