Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Amy Schumer posted on Instagram a photo of herself in a hospital bed after she was forced to cancel a stand-up show in Dallas.

Schumer, who is pregnant with her first child with husband Chris Fischer, was hospitalized due to suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition which can cause severe nausea, vomiting and weight loss according to the American Pregnancy Association.

"Texas I am so deeply sorry. I have been really looking forward to these shows. I have to reschedule. I am in the hospital. I'm fine. Baby's fine but everyone who says the 2nd trimester is better is not telling the full story," Schumer captioned the image on Thursday.

The photo features the comedian resting on a hospital bed.

"I've been even more ill this trimester. I have hyperemesis and it blows. Very lucky to be pregnant but this is some [expletive]! Sending so much love to the doctors and nurses taking great care of me and Tati! They are cool as hell! And Texas I am really really sorry and I'll be out there as soon as I'm better," she continued.

Schumer recently made headlines when she showed off her baby bump on Instagram during an outing with friends.
