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. I’ve been even more ill this trimester. I have hyperemesis and it blows. Very lucky to be pregnant but this is some bullshit! 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.

In the photo she posted alongside the note, Schumer, who was supposed to perform at Winspear Opera House Thursday night, is in a hospital bed. In the post she says her second trimester has not been easy despite what many people told her. She has hyperemesis, which is "severe nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and electrolyte disturbance. Mild cases are treated with dietary changes, rest, and antacids. More severe cases often require a stay in the hospital so that the mother can receive fluid and nutrition through an intravenous line," according to americanpregnancy.org.

Schumer apologized for missing her Texas shows but says she'll be back as soon as she is better.
