Recently, actress Kate Hudson thrilled fans by revealing her pregnancy with her third child, and notably, her first daughter.

We can all relate to that need to maintain composure during those initial weeks at work. Whether it’s because the timing isn’t right for an announcement or simply wanting to keep personal matters private, many of us have had to put on a brave face despite feeling less than great. Hudson recently shared her experience on social media, stating, “If you’ve wondered why I’ve been so absent on my social channels it’s because I have never been more sick!
