Amy Schumer shares Christmas morning sickness video and… been there!

So this is Christmas…

If you’re pregnant, Christmas doesn’t care.

You’ll still need to pee 70 times a day, you’ll still be unable to drink while everybody else is plastered, you’ll still have to go get sick in the middle of dinner or while driving or whatever the situation might be.

Your pregnant body doesn’t care that it’s supposed to be a time of relaxation.

It’s going to get sick where it wants.

Which is exactly what happened to Amy Schumer yesterday when she was travelling to spend some time with her family and had to stop on the side of the road due to morning sickness.

She shared a video of the incident so everybody could enjoy – and empathise with – it.

Since announcing that she was expecting her first child earlier this year, Amy has also been incredibly forthcoming about her struggle with hyperemesis.

The comedian, now in her second trimester of pregnancy, says that she is still struggling with severe nausea and vomiting – so much so that she has been admitted to hospital, hooked up to drips, and in some cases been unable to work.

A few months ago she wrote: “Very lucky to be pregnant but this is some bullshit!”

She also added that the condition “blows.”

It does, Amy. It does.
