Get ready to laugh and cry with the arrival of the first trailer for Amy Schumer’s upcoming docuseries, Expecting Amy. Only one minute of the three-part series has dropped and already it's clear any Amy fan (or casual viewer with a funny bone and a heart) will be lol'ing and tearing up at the comedian's pregnancy journey. In short: feels. All of them.The new trailer provides a snapshot of some of Schumer’s biggest moments both professionally and personally. Opening with footage of the comedian’s beginnings in comedy when she was still a child and already killing it, Expecting Amy also includes moments from the early days of Schumer’s professional career in stand up, including when she booked her first gig and began selling out comedy clubs and eventually arenas. On the more personal side, footage from Schumer’s February 2018 wedding to husband Chris Fischer is also included in the new trailer, with one scene revealing that Schumer hilariously heckled her new husband during their wedding vows, saying “I'm so happy for you that you found me.” We would expect nothing less from the Inside Amy Schumer star. Sweet moments between the pair are also included in the new trailer, including Schumer telling the cameras that her new husband takes care of her.But the most touching moment comes when Schumer tells the camera that she is about to become a mother. "I found out two days ago that I'm pregnant," says Schumer through her tears. "I'm just so excited."The new HBO Max will follow Schumer and Fischer in the days leading up to the May 2019 arrival of their son, Gene (who Schumer recently revealed was re-named for a pretty funny reason). Schumer has been forthcoming with her difficult experience during her pregnancy. The Trainwreck star suffered hyperemesis gravidarum, which is essentially nine months of constant nausea, throwing up, dehydration and weight loss. It’s morning sickness turned up to 11 and Schumer continued to tour throughout her pregnancy, proving before her son even arrived that she is tough as a mother. After several hospitalizations, Schumer was forced to cancel the final leg of her tour during her third trimester. We continue to bow down.[video_embed id='1965062']RELATED: Why everybody from Mariah Carey to Brad Pitt are obsessed with these Canadian comedies [/video_embed]Schumer spoke to Howard Stern about her pregnancy in April, saying “It’s scary because you can’t nourish the baby or yourself. If you’ve ever had food poisoning, it’s truly that for nine and a half months.” The comedian added that meeting her baby made the months of suffering worthwhile. “Seriously, once you meet your baby, you’re like oh my God! I would have been sick like that for 10 years just to meet you for an hour.”Expecting Amy isn’t the only project fans will see the couple in this year. Schumer and Fischer have been starring in the new Food Network series Amy Schumer Learns To Cook, which puts professional chef Fischer back in the kitchen next to his wife/sous chef/lifelong heckler.[video_embed id='-1']BEFORE YOU GO: Watch these two essential superhero workers brighten up this community [/video_embed]
