The blogger-turned-actress told Marie Claire about the challenging first 12 weeks, saying: It's so important we create awareness around the first trimester – it's not an easy ride."

"No woman should feel alone during this time," she stated. "What I've been through is tough and universal – and I feel like I'm in a position where I can destabilise the stigma. Who says we're not allowed to talk about our pregnancy before 12 weeks? It's not the law; it's our culture."

After her initial joy, the YouTuber revealed the early physical symptoms were debilitating, as she was sick at least five times a day and eventually unable to keep anything down, including liquid.

The couple kept things private until this week, after having told family and friends, and are looking forward to the birth.
