Vanessa was diagnosed with pre-natal depression two months into her third pregnancy, which she said is very common among women suffering with hyperemesis gravidarum. Vanessa said she was also very comforted after the Princess of Wales revealed she too had been impacted by hyperemesis gravidarum. She struggled with the symptoms for three months and found some comfort in online support groups. “I stayed in bed for first three weeks of pregnancy." Vanessa first experience of hyperemesis gravidarum was with her second son Kai after having a normal pregnancy with her first Timothy, 14. Vanessa said: “I had morning sickness throughout the entire day. She said: “I could not eat or drink and was spewing everywhere." Her condition deteriorated three weeks into her pregnancy, and she was in and out of hospital constantly. When her husband, Kurt, a lance corporal in the British Army, would be making dinner, she would try and avoid the smell at all costs. "My husband even had the snip because he was so scared of me getting pregnant again." Vanessa says in the first three months of her pregnancy with Faith, the smell of any food made her feel sick. “I lost so much weight and went from a size 16 to size 12. “I had to have so many IV drips, and some of my veins collapsed. “But my last pregnancy was way worse, I was in hospital constantly. “I was prescribed various anti-nausea medication, but nothing worked. Vanessa, who works in hospitality, from Catterick, North Yorkshire, said: “I had hyperemesis gravidarum for three months for both of my pregnancies.

Vanessa is speaking out on her experience of the condition to raise awareness on hyperemesis gravidarum awareness day. During the first three months of her third pregnancy, Vanessa says she couldn't eat a single thing and said even drinking water caused her to throw up immediately. But her symptoms heightened while she was pregnant with her third child, Faith, two, and saw her lose almost two stone and vomit up to 30 times per day. Living in Germany at the time, Vanessa took herbal remedies which made the ordeal more "bearable". The mum-of-three was left bedbound with her second son Kai, 10, and was constantly feeling queasy and throwing up.
