Fox News host Kat Timpf has hit back at trolls questioning why she’s still working while heavily pregnant in a fiery video posted on social media.
Despite being past her due date and on the brink of giving birth any minute, Timpf, 36, is still working normal hours at the broadcasting house.
‘Yes, I’m still pregnant. Yes, I’m past my due date. Yes, this is the longest pregnancy of all time,’ she said in an Instagram video addressing people’s concerns.
‘Yes, I’m still working,’ she added. ‘No, I don’t want to stop working.’
Timpf told viewers to stop telling her to sleep now before the baby arrives, because she ‘can’t sleep’ in general and ‘that’s not how sleep works’.
She added that she has tried eating foods like dates and pineapples to induce labor, as well as going on walks for the same effect.
Timpf revealed that she feels ‘excited’ and ‘terrified’ ahead of the birth of her first child with her husband, Cameron Friscia.
The couple doesn’t know the sex of the baby, after opting to wait until the birth to find out.

Timpf’s video was flooded with praise and support from colleagues and friends in the media industry.
‘Love you!! You’ve got this!!’ political pundit Meghan McCain commented.
Ingrid Murdoch, the wife of former wrestler Tyrus, wrote: ‘Can’t wait to hear if you have a boy or a girl. Equally wonderful but such different (children) to raise.’

She recently opened up about coming off ADHD medication after three decades due to her pregnancy during an interview with Joe Rogan on his podcast.
Timpf aid she was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of five and soon after was put on amphetamines.
She only stopped taking the drugs recently over concerns about how they could impact her unborn child.
During the episode, viewed more than 650,000 times on YouTube, Rogan told Timpf that she seemed ‘like a wonderful person’ off the drugs, before adding, ‘I don’t think you need it.’

Later in the podcast, the host warned Timpf that there was no such thing as a ‘biological free lunch,’ positing that ADHD drugs cause could trigger complications in later life.
Ms Timpf said: ‘I feel like I am getting to meet myself, but also not really myself because of the pregnancy.
‘I am curious to stay off it a little longer after the pregnancy just to see. I am going to go back to some extent.’
She said she was put on them at a young age after she was disruptive in class, and said when she had previously quit the drugs she felt like she was ‘wading through mud.’
ADHD, or attention-deficit/hyperactive-disorder, is defined as a behavioral disorder where patients are persistently inattentive, hyperactive or impulsive.
Since the 1980s, powerful amphetamines like Adderall have been used to treat it — which work by prompting a surge in neurotransmitters in the brain to boost focus and concentration.

ADHD diagnoses have risen in the US, with seven million three- to 17-year-olds now estimated to have the condition — about a million more than before the Covid pandemic. Overall, 8.7 million Americans are estimated to have ADHD.
Prescriptions for Adderall have surged 16 percent since the Covid pandemic — with 41million written in 2021, the latest date available, compared to 35.3 million in 2019.
The US is an outlier on ADHD treatment compared to European countries, with 11 percent of American kids under 17 years old diagnosed with the condition compared to one percent of their French and British counterparts.
Globally, the US accounts for up to 69 percent of the estimated $9.6billion ADHD industry.
