The Channel 9 reporter also said she had suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum, which is an extreme case of pregnancy-related morning sickness.

“It’s been horrendous but I feel horrendously guilty even talking about it, because I know how blessed I am to even have children — but it’s been awful,” she added.

Molan was reportedly due in July, so baby Eliza may have arrived a few weeks ahead of time.
