There is no denying that our favourite Married At First Sight wife Martha Kalifatidis has suffered with terrible pregnancy side effects, but now the mum-to-be is at her “breaking point”.
Upon hearing the exciting news that she was pregnant with fiancé Michael Brunelli, the MAFS star was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, an extreme form of morning sickness that causes severe nausea and vomiting.

Now, she’s shared an update on the condition.
“I don’t know how I can be so up and down. I felt ok yesterday but today I literally feel like I’m dying,” she began on Instagram.
“Last week I spent 4 days straight in the house on the couch. I thought maybe covid, but I just did a test it’s negative. I have a sore throat, no energy AT ALL. I’m hot and cold. Don’t want to get out of bed.
“I forced myself to get up and go get food just for some momentum, but I couldn’t even get myself out of the car once we arrived.”

Sadly, Martha’s pain has only been prolonged another week as her due date has been pushed back to March 6.
While the reality star admitted she was “lucky” to be carrying a baby, she has spent the entirety of her pregnancy “suffering” which has, in turn, impacted her career.
“I have work commitments looming over my head and can’t help but feel like I’ve completely neglected everything I worked so hard to build,” she said.
“I feel like I’m at breaking point… I want to scream.”
“I need to vent, I spend all my waking hours sitting alone with my own thoughts which are grim atm. I’ve completely lost myself. I feel like I’ll never feel normal or like myself again. I know I’m hormonal. Whatever that means!!!”
Despite all the love and support from her followers, Martha revealed she felt “selfish” for her feelings.
In late 2022, on Nova’s Fitzy and Wippa, Martha said she felt guilty as “there’s people who struggle so hard, and they will do anything to be pregnant”.
