With up to 80% of women experiencing 'some form’ of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, meet one of the women challenging the term 'Morning Sickness'.

That’s what I thought as I headed to the toilet again – my fifth time in a single day hunched over the bowl, and I just couldn’t stop crying.

That’s why, in January this year, I decided to start a campaign called Not Morning Sickness alongside my co-founder Nicola Cutcher, with the aim of ditching the term for good.so far removed, and so completely off the spectrum that the insistence from friends, family and health professionals to describe my suffering as ‘really bad morning sickness’ put me in a position where I felt completely isolated and helpless. At times, I felt like I was going mad.

My doctors continued to describe it as ‘morning sickness’ and, even when I was admitted to hospital again and again, the midwives refused to treat my condition seriously, and the nurses rolled their eyes. I won’t go into too much detail here but you can imagine what you are left with to throw up when you haven’t eaten for days. Finally, I started to vomit up blood and, at that point, I honestly believed that I wouldn’t make it.

I wasn’t crazy, I wasn’t pathetic, I was part of a ‘rare’ group of women whose bodies would not allow them toI also learnt that this condition if not managed could be fatal. It was rare but it could happen.
