I know there are so many of you out there that have experienced this as well and just know how miserable it is, and if you haven't experienced it, maybe you know somebody that has and you could see what it was really like for them to be basically deathly ill for Nine Months.
Imagine being so sick during pregnancy that you can't keep any food down and you're constantly on the brink of passing out. In this eye-opening episode of the 'Hard Knocks Podcast', host Jourdan Watts sits down with Kenzie Draper, who shares her harrowing experience with Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). HG is a rare but severe condition that affects less than 3% of pregnant women, causing extreme nausea, vomiting, and dehydration.
Kenzie's story is not just about the physical toll—losing nearly 35 pounds and needing a feeding tube—but also about the emotional and mental strain it placed on her and her relationships. She candidly talks about moments when she felt so miserable she wished she could die. But Kenzie also highlights the importance of finding support and resources to navigate this challenging time.
This episode sheds light on the need for more awareness and research into HG, offering hope and compassion to anyone who might be going through a similar ordeal. Whether you're expecting, know someone who is, or just want to understand more about this debilitating condition, Kenzie's story is both informative and deeply moving.
