Though it was well hidden from the cameras, the biggest fans of Hallmarks' "Chesapeake Shores" already know that Meghan Ory was pregnant while the final season was being filmed. Sadly, the actor didn't have an easy pregnancy. She dealt with hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition affecting 0.3% to 2% of pregnant women, according to a 2008 study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America. It's often accompanied by waves of severe nausea and vomiting, much more severe than typical morning sickness, per MedlinePlus.
Many pregnant women with the condition lose weight, become dehydrated, and suffer electrolyte imbalances. Impressively, the Hallmark star looked amazing onscreen through it all. In May 2022, she posted a gorgeous picture of herself on Instagram but captioned it: "#onset #acting like I'm not going to barf." And, the following September, Ory shared a photo of herself with one hand cradling her prominent baby bump. This post was her last public baby bump picture before giving birth to her child in January 2023.
