Show Notes

Like many of us, you probably heard the term hyperemesis gravidarum when Catherine the Princess of Wales was pregnant with George, Charlotte and Louis, but recently another celebrity, former MAFS star Martha Kalafatidis, has been experiencing the debilitating condition too.

So why do some women end up with the extreme version of morning sickness that can leave them bedridden for months, with only childbirth the relief at the end of the struggle for some? 

In today's episode, we look at the intense and sometimes crippling way a pregnant body can react when it's busy growing a tiny human.
