“It’s been so much fun. It’s been such a great distraction while I’ve been in hospital.”

She was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), a pregnancy complication that is characterized by severe nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and possibly dehydration.

“I was hospitalized, I lost about 16 pounds and I was 130 pounds to start with so the doctors were worried,” she told Global News, adding that she experienced a less severe case during her second pregnancy.

She has since returned home and is being set up with home care to avoid having to return to the hospital for her treatments.

She hopes to give her husband his “trip” around the world in August.
