Martha Kalifatidis of Married At First Sight says she is “done” with her pregnancy after suffering severe morning sickness for months
Heavily pregnant Martha Kalifatidis has spoken openly about the brutal reality of being pregnant while suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum – a form of morning sickness.
The 34-year-old Married At First Sight star shared a photo of her on Instagram Stories posing in a white bralette in the bathroom while showing off her growing baby bump.
She captioned the snap with some thoughtful words: “The bathroom is almost done! Me too.’

Martha also shared a gallery of snaps capturing some of the pregnancy-related challenges she and fiancé Michael Brunelli have encountered this year.

Many of Martha’s fans were quick to sympathize with her struggle, with one telling her to “hang in there” and another writing “it will be worth it” once her baby is born.
Martha recently announced that her February due date has been pushed back to March 6th.
“Every hour feels like a day I have work commitments looming over my head and can’t help but feel like I’ve completely neglected everything I’ve worked so hard for,” she continued away. ‘I feel like I’m at a breaking point.’

She went on to say she spent four days on the couch thinking she had Covid as she struggled with energy and a sore throat.
“I forced myself to get up and get food just to get some momentum, but I couldn’t even get out of the car when we got there,” she said.
Michael and Martha announced that they are expecting their first child together in 2022 and things have not gone smoothly.
Martha told her fans that her pregnancy was particularly difficult and she was bedridden for days
Martha told the Daily Telegraph in September she had been diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum and her symptoms had manifested themselves in numerous painful ways.
“It’s like you have gastro, you’re hung over and on a boat. It’s anything but funny,” she said of the condition.
