Erin Molan opens up about first pregnancy: “It’s been horrendous”

Last week, The Footy Show host Erin Molan, who is pregnant with her first child, was rushed to hospital after suffering a fall due to low blood pressure. Now, the Channel Nine journalist has shared an update on her health.

"I had a little incident, which wasn’t fun,” she told Georgie Gardner and Karl Stefanovic on the Today show.

“I think I need to learn that my body isn’t capable of what it was last year. I'm in great health and the baby is fine. I hit my knees and I hit my head, but not my stomach so the baby is fine.”

The 35-year-old also revealed the fall wasn’t the first scare she’s encountered during her pregnancy – she’s been suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, the same severe morning sickness the Duchess of Cambridge endured during her three pregnancies.

“It hasn't been fun,” she said. “It’s been horrendous, it’s been awful! I’m past the halfway mark now and feeling much better!”

We’re wishing Erin a speedy recovery and all the best throughout the rest of her pregnancy.
