Kelly Clarkson opened up about the challenges of her second pregnancy in a "This Morning" interview on CBS Wednesday. The singer told the show's host, Gayle King, that she doesn't have morning sickness -- she has "all-day" sickness.
The "Piece by Piece singer" described the conditions she goes through. "I have to get IVs and fluids because I get so dehydrated. It's really bad," she said. The experience is not new to Kelly as the "American Idol" champ also went through the same thing with her first pregnancy with daughter River.
"I vomit a good dozen times a day. It's, like, bad. I vomited before coming out here," she told Ellen Degeneres back on her show in 2013. "I'm not even kidding. It's so bad. It's so bad. It's, like, so gross. And that's the thing, too: You're not attractive when you're pregnant." However, the singer said that being pregnant made her happy. "I just wish she [the baby] would stop trying to kill me," she joked on the show.
Kelly and her husband, Brandon Blackstock, already know the gender of their second child and announced this on her Instagram in October. The Grammy-winning recording artist posted a photo of her first-born child and wrote, "River's gonna have a little baby brother :) #itsaboy We're so excited."
The "Stronger" singer revealed she was pregnant again during a concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles in August. Kelly recalled that moment when she was getting emotional while singing, "I couldn't get through it and I was crying so hard and I thought, 'These people are going to think I'm on drugs, but I'm about to lose it like a crazy person,'" she told King. That was when she decided she may as well tell the public she's having baby number two.
Kelly married Brandon in October 2013 in Tennessee and said that her husband is the "complete opposite" of her father. She described Brandon as always present and an ideal father to River. "He wins for being around."
Kelly also recently announced the cancellation of the rest of her tour. The decision had little to do with her pregnancy but her doctors said she should be resting her voice, as previously reported on Parent Herald.
Despite the difficult pregnancy and the problems with her voice, everything else is going perfectly well for Kelly. "My husband and I are like, 'How did this happen?'" she said via People. "We're very lucky."
