Nollywood actress Adesua Etomi has shared her battle with hyperemesis gravidarum following the death of a woman who also battled with the sickness.
According to American media outlet PEOPLE, the woman, identified as Jess Cronshaw, took her life while struggling with the debilitating condition, which causes extreme nausea and vomiting, often leading to weight loss and dehydration.
According to the media outlet, the woman killed herself after the extreme morning sickness left her bedridden.
Reacting to it via her Instagram story, Adesua expressed her frustration over people not understanding how serious the condition is. She appreciated her husband, doctors, family, and friends for rallying around her.
The mother of two stated that the ailment isn’t ordinary morning sickness and is a serious condition that affects the quality of one’s life.
“When I talk about the seriousness of hyperemesis gravidarum, people don’t get it and I hate it. I am grateful for my husband, my doctors, family, and friends who rallied around me.
It is not an ordinary morning sickness. It is a serious condition that literally affects the quality of your life”.
While celebrating her birthday in February, Adesua recalled the trials she faced in 2024. She recounted how she battled hyperemesis, was admitted to the hospital, her husband underwent cancerous tumor surgery, and she had an emergency C-section. After surviving the aforementioned, Adesua said the devil once again with her life as she had a harrowing healing process, but God saw her true.
Recall that in October, Adesua and Banky W had announced that they were expecting their second child. In a joint Instagram post, the couple shared Adesua’s maternity photos as they noted how they first had each other, then they had a son, and now are expecting another.
The singer later revealed that he and Adesua had welcomed their second child, a baby boy. He made this known as he shared a video of him cooking and taking care of his family. Banky stated that marriage is 100-100 and not 50-50, as he revealed that he has been a chef, housekeeper, homework teacher, masseuse, and more since his wife gave birth.
In December , the couple had celebrated their 7th wedding anniversary. Banky shared a video of him and his wife over the years, as he appreciated Adesua for choosing him as he recalled how nervous he was to be a father and husband.
Adesua, on her part, kept things short and simple as she reaffirmed her love for Banky.
