During the pregnancy announcement, Martha gave an update about a mystery illness she contracted during her summer Euro trip. “At five weeks, I was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, which is basically severe chronic nausea and vomiting.”

The Celebrity Apprentice star revealed that the illness resulted in rapid weight loss and left her bedridden for two months.

The secrecy around Martha’s mystery illness now makes sense with the announcement of the pair’s exciting news, especially since Michael revealed that they discovered the pregnancy in Rome, during their trip.
