Restaurateur and television star Ayesha Curry, who is pregnant with her third child with husband and Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, recently opened up about her health struggles during the past four months.

In an essay for her lifestyle blog GoInspo, Ayesha Curry reveals she's suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness that doesn't abate after the first trimester.

"For the past 4 months, I've barely been able to eat let alone cook. The mere smell of food averts me," Curry wrote. "... This all has got me in a funk that I️ can't seem to shake. I️ don't want to say I'm depressed because I️ take mental health very seriously but I️ am truly very, very sad. When you can't do what you love all of a sudden because of an uncontrollable situation, it sucks."

Some of the symptoms of hyperemesis gravidarum include nausea accompanied by "severe" vomiting, constant nausea and difficulty keeping food down. Extreme causes of hyperemesis gravidarum can result in hospitalization.

"I️ really feel no different than I️ did in my first trimester. I️ still have nausea, can't sleep, pee every 5 seconds and am just so darn tired. I️ have what docs call Hyperemesis," Curry wrote. "This basically means the nausea, incessant sickness and exhaustion probably won't go away. The only silver linings here are that my itty bitty baby is healthy and Princess Kate has suffered from the same condition during her pregnancies."

The bright spot in Curry's difficult pregnancy, she wrote, has been her family. She praises husband Steph for being "an absolute angel" and daughters Riley and Ryan for their pure excitement about their sibling.

"Every morning and every night they say hello to the baby, kissing my belly and all is well with the world," she says. "I've never seen two little people love something/ someone so much that they've never met or seen before."
