'I have felt poisoned every second of this pregnancy': Fifi Box reveals she suffers with the same severe pregnancy condition as Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton By Aleksandra Pavlovska For Daily Mail Australia Published: 13:11 BST, 20 June 2019 | Updated: 13:11 BST, 20 June 2019 Viewcomments In 2017, Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton suffered a rare pregnancy condition called Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), which causes excessive nausea and vomiting. And on Thursday, radio presenter Fifi Box revealed she suffers from the same condition, which strikes just one per cent of pregnancies. Taking to Instagram, the 41-year-old shared a collage of photographs of herself bed-ridden throughout her pregnancy, while penning a candid caption. 'I have felt poisoned every second of this pregnancy': Fifi Box (L) revealed she suffers with the same severe pregnancy condition as Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton (R) via Instagram on Thursday 'I've had a lot of people curious about my pregnancy condition hyperemsis gravidarum (HG) and wondering what exactly is wrong with me,' she began. 'HG has made this much wanted and longed for pregnancy an incredibly tough journey and I've been happy to hide away and keep it to myself but now that I can see the finish line in sight, I feel it might be of some importance to other sufferers to discuss it so no one else feels alone,' Fifi wrote. 'This is the reality of how I have looked every day for 9 months, debilitated by nausea and bedridden. The easiest way of describing HG is 'severe morning sickness'. 'But as fellow sufferer @amyschumer said ''comparing HG to morning sickness is like having an arrow through your skull and saying it's like a minor headache''.' 'This is the reality of how I have looked every day for 9 months, debilitated by nausea and bedridden': Taking to Instagram, the 41-year-old shared this collage of photographs of herself bed-ridden throughout her pregnancy, while penning a candid caption Fifi explained that her journey has been 'terribly isolating,' adding: 'It is chronic nausea with no relief, I have felt poisoned every second of this pregnancy, it's like having gastro every minute, every hour of every day for eight months. 'And the only way through it is my daughter's smiling face every day, the support of incredible friends and family, and knowing that each day I'm getting closer to this much wanted, longed-for baby angel. 'So for any other sufferers out there I hear you, I feel you and I know what you're going through,' Fifi concluded. Painful: Fifi explained that her journey has been 'terribly isolating,' adding: 'It is chronic nausea with no relief, it's like having gastro every minute, every hour of every day for eight months' Meanwhile the condition is unlike regular morning sickness as it doesn't fade away with time and can leave some women bedbound as they are unable to keep food or drink down. It is also considered to be the second leading cause of hospitalisation during pregnancy and can lead to dehydration - dangerous to both the mother and child. Exactly how many pregnant women get HG is not known as some cases may go unreported, but it's thought to be around one in every 100. The Duchess, 37, cancelled engagements while carrying Princess Charlotte as she battled HG. And in 2012, while expecting Prince George, she was admitted to hospital when HG left her severely dehydrated.
