“I was so hot at night and unable to control my temperature. I started to panic that perhaps I was perimenopausal.”

Reflecting on a diagnosis of hyperemesis gravidarum, she added: “It is not like morning sickness as you feel sick all day. It is the same thing Kate [Middleton] had, although I have not been as extreme as her. I was put on medication and that has been a godsend as I feel so much better.”
