While many celeb moms post picture-perfect updates of their baby bumps or little ones in designer clothes, comedian Amy Schumer has taken a totally different approach.
A recent video of her pregnancy that she shared with fans didn’t feature cute maternity photos — it was 30 seconds of her throwing up in various locations.

I’m sure she’s glad she’s past this part of motherhood. Let’s check this video out, if you can stomach it, that is.
In case you missed it, Amy Schumer became a mom to a baby boy in May 2019.
She and her husband, Chris Fischer, announced the birth of little Gene Attell Fischer via Instagram with this photo.
If you’re a fan of Amy, then you know her pregnancy wasn’t the easiest.
Amy suffered from a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum, which causes extreme nausea and vomiting. She even had to be hospitalized for the condition.
Amy was forced to cancel shows and also had to be hooked up to an IV to combat dehydration.
It was a difficult pregnancy for Amy, but she was still able to look on the bright side and keep us updated with hilarious posts.
In the midst of all the pregnancy sickness, Amy did manage to create her stand-up special “Growing” for Netflix.
The special, which hilariously tackled all things related to pregnancy and motherhood, is now being considered for an Emmy award.
Amy shared this hilarious “For Your Consideration” video for her special.
Filmed back when Amy was still pregnant, she begins the video by staring serenely at a waterfall while rubbing her baby bump.
“I want to wish all the comedians the best of luck because it is such a great pool of comics this year, and we all worked, I would say, probably equally hard,” she says in the video.
The video then cuts to a full on montage of Amy throwing up during her pregnancy.
Some moms document their pregnancies with a journal or photo album, but Amy went for a puke montage. I think it works!
All I can think while watching this video is, “Poor, Amy”.
Moms go through so much during pregnancy and we don’t give them nearly enough credit. At least Amy had a good sense of humor about it.
If you aren’t squeamish, you can take a look at the whole video for yourself.
Warning: there is a lot of puke in it, so don’t watch if you don’t think you can stomach it. If you had HG during pregnancy, this video might bring back some unpleasant memories…
