The 31-year-old opened up about her experiences in her Stories, revealing that she stayed with her parents for three months during her pregnancy with her youngest child, one-year-old son Charlie.
She penned: "Hyperemesis I get so many direct messages about… I really struggled with it… mentally as well, it makes you feel so low. I hated not being able to look after my children when I was ill with Charlie… even lights would make me feel sick and I stayed with my parents for about three months."
