“I was throwing up through the first hour of my c-section. It’s supposed to take about an hour and a half — mine took over three hours because of my endometriosis,” she explained on an episode of the Informed Pregnancy and Parenting Podcast later that December. “That was really scary.”

Sorry to anyone thats let down.”
Cushing syndrome is a condition where the body has too much cortisol, the primary stress hormone, per the Mayo Clinic. In addition to developing a rounder face from weight gain, some of the other symptoms include high blood pressure and increased stretch marks
