A brave mum has opened up about her traumatic pregnancy which saw her vomit 40 times a day. Jessica Craner suffered 14 weeks of 24-hour sickness while carrying her daughter Anna.
She describes the ordeal as "torturous" and like a "sickness bug that never goes". While pregnant the mother felt constantly dizzy and weak.
Jessica was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), which the NHS defines as very bad nausea and vomiting. The condition means mums-to-be can be sick many times a day and be unable to keep food or drink down.
