For Abbie, this pregnancy hasn’t been without its challenges. She previously revealed that she endured a “pretty rough” first trimester, suffering from the dreaded condition hyperemesis gravidarum — the severe morning sickness that plagued some of her past pregnancies. Despite the discomfort and hospital visits, the couple remained hopeful, often expressing their desire to expand their family. Yahoo+2AOL+2
