Helen Flanagan on turning veggie after suffering from severe pregnancy condition

Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has spoken out about suffering from the pregnancy condition Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Helen, who is engaged to Preston footballer Scott Sinclair, has previously said that their third baby would be her last after suffering from the condition which causes severe nausea and vomiting, which she's had during all her pregnancies.

Symptoms for expectant mothers also include weight loss and dehydration, believed to be caused by the rise in hormone levels. In a frank new post Helen revealed how she also struggled mentally with the condition and she was too ill to be able to look after her children Matilda, six, Delilah, three, while pregnant with Charlie, who turned one last month.

Posting a photo on her Instagram of Charlie enjoying a vegetarian sausage the 31-year-old star said she topped eating meat because of the condition. She wrote: "Started to eat sausages (vegetarian I can't deal with meat - I had hyperemesis with each baby and I went off meat so much never really liked it before)."
