Kelly Clarkson is ecstatic to be pregnant with her first child, but the 31-year-old singer isn't having the easiest first trimester. During a Friday, Dec. 6, appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the singer talked about the morning sickness she's been suffering from in recent weeks.

"I vomit a good dozen times a day. It's, like, bad. I vomited before coming out here and I had a peppermint so you didn't [know]," Clarkson told host Ellen DeGeneres. "I'm not even kidding, it's so bad. It's so bad. I know it's like so gross. And that's the thing, too—you're not attractive when you're pregnant. Everybody tells you [that] you glow and you're hair is pretty and you're nails are pretty. That's total crap. My nails are short, my hair still falls out like it's not all lush and beautiful and I have no glow. Unless it's, like, something left over from a bad throw up. It's horrible."

"I'm done talking," said the star, who also revealed that she is 11 weeks pregnant. "I'm sorry!"

Clarkson added that she doesn't really "miss alcohol" as much as she thought she would. "It's weird. I'm not a big drinker, but if I am drinking, it's like I'm trying to win some award. It's really bad. It's like, 'I'm gonna get the drunkest! Who's holding my hair?' It's really bad. I'm not a good drinker."

The "Tie It Up" singer and her husband, Brandon Blackstock, don't yet know their child's gender, but they're considering doing chromosomal testing to find it out sooner than later.

"I totally want to know right now," Clarkson said. "It doesn't even matter, because honestly, the name we picked, if it's a boy or a girl, it's the same name. You won't guess it. It's a random name. It's not like some weird famous person that's gonna be like, Blue Jazz."

During her sit-down with DeGeneres, Clarkson also opened up about her October wedding. "I'm so glad we didn't do a bunch of people because I actually get nervous talking in front of people," she admitted. "I was like, 'I'm not gonna cry. I'm so good.' And I bawled so hard—like, not pretty Rachel McAdams cry, like really bad, 'Oh, that poor girl.'"

"It was so bad that my videographer hasn't even shown it to me!" she laughed. "I was a sobbing hot mess!"
