Popular actress, Adesua Etomi-Wellington has shared her battle with hyperemesis gravidarum while pregnant with her second child.
Hyperemesis gravidarum is popular among pregnant women in Nigeria as morning sickness.
Reflecting on her experience, the actress who welcomed her second child with Bankole Wellington popular as Banky W in 2024 shared her experience while reacting to a report about a pregnant UK woman who committed suicide after extreme morning sickness left her bedridden.
According to PEOPLE, Jess Cronshaw took her life while struggling with the debilitating condition, which causes extreme nausea, vomiting, often leading to weight loss and dehydration.
In a post on her Instagram Story, Adesua expressed frustration over people not understanding how serious the condition is. She also appreciated her husband, doctors, family and friends for rallying around her.
“When I talk about the seriousness of hyperemesis gravidarum, people don’t get it and I hate it,” she wrote.
“It is not ordinary morning sickness. It is a serious condition that literally affects the quality of your life.”
