Amy Schumer didn’t realise ‘pregnancy was such a bummer’ following chronic morning sickness

Amy Schumer has long detailed her frankly quite horrendous battle with morning sickness, as she prepares to welcome her first baby.

The comedian has been hit pretty bad by near-constant vomiting and has admitted that she really didn’t expect pregnancy to be like this.

‘It’s been pretty tough, I didn’t know that pregnancies were such a bummer,’ she said this week as anyone who’d battled chronic morning sickness likely nodded in solidarity.

Amy’s still a slave to the symptoms as she revealed she continues to suffer from hyperemesis, the pregnancy complication linked to extreme nausea, and that she ‘threw up a few times on the way’ to the studio.

There to chat about her latest stand-up special Growing, the 37-year-old also opened up about her husband, Chris Fischer, and his diagnosis with high-functioning autism.

‘We both wanted to talk about it because it’s been totally positive,’ she told Seth Meyers this week.

‘I think some people resist getting diagnosed… because of the stigma that comes along with it.

‘But the tools we’ve been given have made his life so much better and our marriage and our life so much more manageable.’

The Trainwreck actress married Chris, 39, in February 2018 and previously revealed that she was unaware when they first started dating that he was on the spectrum.

Opening up about his so-called disorder, Amy says in her forthcoming Netflix special: ‘I knew from the beginning that my husband’s brain was a little different than mine.’

‘I have to start this over because I really want to get this right because I love him very much,’ she told the audience.

‘My husband was diagnosed with what used to be called Asperger’s. He has autism spectrum disorder. He’s on the spectrum. And there were some signs early on.

‘Once he was diagnosed, it dawned on me how funny it was, because all of the characteristics that make it clear that he’s on the spectrum are all of the reasons that I fell madly in love with him.’

The actress announced her pregnancy in October last year, and has detailed her struggles with sickness since.

The star was forced to get serious recently, and cancel some of her tour dates due to illness.

Amy told her 7.9 million followers that she was ’embarrassed’ she had to cancel the final dates of her tour, but because her pregnancy sickness isn’t getting any easier, doctors haven’t cleared her to fly.

‘I wanted to push through and do my shows because I hate letting people down and I love stand up and money!’ she told fans. ‘But more than that I have to think about my health and the baby.’
