Towson University Graduate Amy Schumer Hospitalized For Morning Sickness

DALLAS (AP/WJZ) -- Amy Schumer, a Towson University graduate and well-known comedian, says she's been hospitalized for severe, second-trimester nausea and apologized to fans in Dallas for canceling a stand-up show.

She said Thursday on Instagram she and the baby are fine. The post accompanied a photo of herself in a hospital bed.

The "Trainwreck" and "I Feel Pretty" star said she's been suffering from a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum, which can cause severe morning sickness.

Schumer is set to perform at the Hippodrome Theatre in Baltimore on Friday, Nov. 30.
