Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex and wife of Prince Harry, has disclosed her battle with hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of pregnancy sickness, after the birth of one of her children.

In her own words, she described the condition as 'rare and frightening,' emphasizing the challenges she faced during her pregnancy.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is characterized by severe nausea and vomiting, leading to dehydration and weight loss, and it affects a significant number of pregnant individuals worldwide.

Estimates suggest that approximately 0.3% to 2% of pregnant women experience this condition, which can lead to serious health complications if not adequately managed.

Markle's revelation has sparked broader discussions about maternal health issues and the importance of healthcare support for women experiencing similar conditions during pregnancy.
