During her pregnancy Bickmore has shared frequent updates with her fans, including how daughter Evie had been spreading false rumours she was having twins and her battle with severe morning sickness.

Speaking on her radio show Carrie & Tommy on The Hit Network, Bickmore described how difficult the first trimester had been.

“Until this week, I felt so sick — 24 hours a day, like I mean so sick,” she to her radio co-host Tommy Little.

“I didn’t even think I had the energy to work out … to even get my head around what was happening.

“[Being] hungry made me feel sick, eating has made me feel sick, being awake has made me feel sick, sleeping has made me feel sick, coffee has made me feel sick, everything has made me feel sick.”
