“During those first 8 or so weeks I was so sick I couldn’t even walk to the bathroom without feeling as though I was seconds away from throwing up,” she explains in an exclusive chat.

“The first trimester tested me big time! I was eating whatever I could simply to survive the nausea!”

Speaking of her very relatable cravings Elyse confessed it came down to “bread, pasta and chicken rolls.”
