Amy Schumer attends the 72nd Annual Tony Awards on June 10, 2018 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Walter McBride—WireImage by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Dec 26, 2018 5:47 PM UTC [Amy Schumer](http://time.com/4481524/amy-schumer/) probably didn’t dream of a Christmas like this. The actress, who is [pregnant](http://time.com/5431609/amy-schumer-pregnant/) with her first child with husband Chris Fischer, posted a slideshow on Instagram that showed what pregnancy can really be like for the millions of women who suffer from severe morning sickness. In a video, the _I Feel Pretty_ star can be seen getting sick on the side of a road, with all the graphic detail that entails. Then she and Fischer paused to wish the person holding the camera a merry Christmas. In another photo, [Schumer](http://time.com/5237435/amy-schumer-knows-she-will-make-more-mistakes/) is lying on the floor with her eyes closed and her pets keeping her company. It wasn’t all bad, though. In other images, Schumer can be seen cuddling up with a pup on the couch and laughing at a video of a dance party. And to prove she is taking it all in stride, the _Trainwreck_ actress and comedian swiped a line from John Lennon’s “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” to caption the slideshow, writing: “And so this is Christmas” with a Christmas tree emoji. Schumer’s pregnancy has been a difficult one. As _People_ reports, she [was hospitalized](https://people.com/parents/amy-schumer-pregnant-hospitalized-hyperemesis-cancels-tour-stop/) in November for [hyperemesis gravidarum](http://time.com/4926496/kate-middleton-hyperemesis-gravidarum/), a form of severe morning sickness. She returned for treatment in December, posting a picture to Instagram of herself attached to an IV with the humorous caption: “Am I glowing? #hyperemesisgravidarum.” ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5488516/amy-schumer-pregnant-christmas/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5488516/amy-schumer-pregnant-christmas/"},"headline":"No One Wants to Spend Christmas Like Mom-to-Be Amy Schumer Did","datePublished":"2018-12-26T17:47:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:11.144Z","description":"Amy Schumer shared her miserable Christmas with followers on Instagram – including a video of her getting sick on the side of a road.","url":"https://time.com/5488516/amy-schumer-pregnant-christmas/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","celebrity","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta7573b0a08ea681d/69894242db29876ec8261883/amy-schumer-christmas-pregnant.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta7573b0a08ea681d/69894242db29876ec8261883/amy-schumer-christmas-pregnant.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"72nd Annual Tony Awards - Arrivals","caption":"72nd Annual Tony Awards - Arrivals","creditText":"Walter McBride—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5488516/amy-schumer-pregnant-christmas/","name":"No One Wants to Spend Christmas Like Mom-to-Be Amy Schumer Did"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Amy Schumer and Chef Chris Fischer Are Married!","description":"The two tied the knot in a private ceremony in Malibu on Tuesday, a source has confirmed to PEOPLE","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/ngUNjDLa/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-02-15T16:24:59.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ngUNjDLa.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5488516/amy-schumer-pregnant-christmas/","duration":"PT1M20S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5488516/amy-schumer-pregnant-christmas/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
