Hyperemisis: When Morning Sickness Isn’t Just Morning Sickness
Description
Everyone talks about “morning sickness” like it’s something you just get through, but what happens when it takes over your entire day, your body, and your headspace?
In this episode, we get honest about severe pregnancy sickness and why it is so often minimised, misunderstood, or brushed off. We sit in that space between what people expect and what some actually experience, holding the physical and emotional weight of it and why being believed matters so much.
This is a conversation that makes room for the messy, the heavy, and the very real side of it all. If you have ever questioned what is normal or felt like you were not being heard, you are not alone.
