Nollywood actress, Adesua Etomi-Wellington has revealed how she battled with debilitating morning sickness, hyperemesis gravidarum while pregnant with her second child.

In 2024, the actress and her husband, singer, Bankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, welcomed their second child.

Adesua shared her experience while reacting to a report about a pregnant UK woman who died by suicide after extreme morning sickness left her bedridden.

According to the publication, PEOPLE, Jess Cronshaw committed suicide while struggling with the debilitating condition, which causes extreme nausea, vomiting, and often leads to weight loss and dehydration.

Taking to her Instagram story, Adesua lamented people not understanding the condition.

She expressed her gratitude to 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."
