Duchess of Cambridge expecting

Awwww, lovely news! ?

Lovely news for them.

But how the other half live, hey? Most girls have to struggle through morning sickness...

Finally admitting it!! Its been going round for a while hasnt it, the rumours of a royal pregnancy!

Yay for them

Aww how lovely!!! A new little royal!

Quite a few of us over on BT have had to be admitted to hospital fod HG, maybe it was that as opposed to MS?

Isn't HG where you literally cannot keep anything down? How horrid.

Hope she recovers and has an uneventful next 8 months!

Lovely news ?

Lovely news!

My claim to fame is I tore my oesphagus through so much vomiting... <rubbish claim>

Ouch, that sounds horrid!

I had HG and spent a large part of my pregnancy in hospital, I would hope she hasn't got that. Good news for them, could be next in line

Yes, I think the full statement confirms it is HG.

Lovely news

What does that mean P?

I had no idea people were hospitalised with morning sickness!

That is lovely news- I think she is lovely! And I recently walked past HRH without knowing it only to be told moments later- 'you know who that is don't you?' me-'errr no?' ? (rubbish claim to fame their too!)

Lovely news! She must have felt under so much pressure, with the media constantly speculating about it!

What lovely news that she has HG?? I mean I'm not a fan of royalty but that's harsh?

Oh Em Gee. That's horrific!

Aw nice news - I hope we get a Bank holiday for it haha!

It is called Hypermesis Gravidum (I think - hence I stuck to calling it HG!) You end up getting extremely dehydrated because you can't keep liquids down. I can't remember exactly now but I lost about two stone through vomiting over about three weeks. I watched a programme once were they said it should eb called progesterone posioning rather than morning sickness? It 'apparently' can be a sign that the baby is very healthy (that's what I clung to).

Lovely news though has been "rumoured" for awhile. Hope she is ok

? I posted that then read it back and realised it made me sound like a reet old cow.

Hope they can help her with it, it sounds awful.

Ah apologies. Obviously not just a moany royal...

This sounds horrendous. I hope I don't get this when I am upduffed!

According to the mirror she has this HG thing

Aww that's lovely news (not about her being ill though)

Delighted for them, but my heart goes out to all those who really want to be pregnant and aren't. This will just rub their noses in it even more.

Aww, how lovely for them. Hope she's soon feeling better.

I'm sorry - I didn't mean to make you cry. I just know a couple of people in this position (including my daughter) and it stinks!

Will try to avoid fluff in future so as not to upset anyone. (But am thinking of you)

You whinge away. That's one of the joys of OT, a massive whinge allowance! Hope it happens for you soon.

I bet if its a boy they will call it James if its a girl they will call it Mary!

Fantastic news for Will, Kate and their families. They strike me as being people who will be fantasticly down to earth parents (well as much as can be).

I kind of feel for her being in this inevitable media storm again surrounding the hospital, pregnancy, no doubt following her for months. It seems she's been forced into announcing before reaching the 12 week mark due to her being so poorly.

Wishing her well.
