To not want a minute by minute account of Kate's pregnancy and little sympathy for her.

[babbas]

She's rich, she has all the support in the world and will have no cooking, cleaning, vocational work or responsibilities. I really really really do not want to have daily updates on her condition or her pregnancy for the next nine months! It's so typical of everything she stands for that they have already announced she will have to be on rest for the foreseeable future. As opposed to doing what exactly??!

My best friend had HG and lost a stone in 8 days. She went to hospital and was told to pull her herself together as most women had morning sickness. No time off work, no help whatsoever.

I wouldn't assume anyone was lying about being ill unless I had good reaon to suspect they were. I wouldn't do it about a woman on benefits, a solicitor, a nurse, a sahm or a woman on the front of the newspaper.
I am pretty sure she isn't asking anyone to put it in the press and I have never met anyone who contrives to get hospitalised.
Perhaps I have led a dull life and there are women out there who want to be in hospital on a drip rather than living really quite a nice life and getting ready for Christmas.

I think its just me and you yellow tip.

I reckon she is 6 weeks and just coming down with morning sickness too.

There is absolutely no way with hG she would be jollying around on Friday looking like she did but puking behind the scenes and feeling as crap as you do with bad morning sickness let alone hg, then "starting to feel better" by Tuesday.

My bet is early morning sickness which can be a bit on and off for the first week or so (hence being able to function last Friday).

I absolutely wouldn't wish morning sickness on any pregnant woman, including Kate who I think is lovely, but if she feels like she is dying because of her morning sickness then I wouldn't want it bigged up to be hg as this does a great disservice to those women who do suffer and who are told its all in the mind or pull yourself together.,

Utter nasty minded bollocks.

sorry, for context (needed I thin because of the s), I suffer from awful horrendous morning sickness every single minute of the day, every single time. There is absolutely no way I would be unsympathetic to someone who suffers as I have had quite enough of implications that sickness sufferers are exaggerating when they feel like they are dying.

What I am saying on this thread is that I simply dont think this particular pregnant woman is very likely to have hg, I think she feels crap and is in hospital as a precaution as she is mother to the heir to the throne, and the papers have whipped it up as usual.

If she does have hg then she absolutely has my complete sympathy. To the OP, yes she will have lots of help that mere mortals do not have (someone cooking meals, doing the shopping, the cleaning etc) but no amount of money will stop her from feeling crap.

Tee had it in one "The only appropriate response to the announcement of a baby, any baby, is 'congratulations'."

"I am not sympathetic to her, but I don't spite her."

Yeah, that's why you started this thread, just no sympathy, not spiteful at all.

"then "starting to feel better" by Tuesday"

Why not? I expect that she received better medical care than you did because of who she is. If she was dehydrated then being on a drip for a few days and anti emetic drugs is bound to make her feel better. So you had a shit pregnancy and therefore anyone with more money and privilege than you isn't allowed to suffer. Get that big chip off your shoulder.

I don't think this is a big publicity stunt.

Erm, Im not aware that there is any appropriate medical treatment for morning sickness, so I wouldn't expect to have received any...

Are you not reading my posts? I don't imagine she has anything whatsoever to do with what the media print, and probably not that much say in her palace statements or medical care.

Weird, did you not notice that I am not agreeing with the op???

"Erm, Im not aware that there is any appropriate medical treatment for morning sickness, so I wouldn't expect to have received any..."

again

Absolute bollocks. HG can come on in an instant. As can all manner of pregnancy related ailments. I had Pre-Eclampsia, was feeling fine on Wednesday, was admitted Thursday and almost died on Saturday (woke up in Intensive Care on Sunday )

Starting to feel better - well yes, maybe because she had the appropriate treatment. Gosh, hold the front page, woman goes into hospital feeling ill, is treated and starts to feel better.

Bitter, nasty and uncalled for. Unless you are a doctor, how about you leave the medical diagnosis to them.

More bollocks. I know plenty of people hospitalised including a few from my antenatal thread.

There's some dicks around that's for sure.

Me me me. ' when I was pregnant I had to carry on working with morning sickness, nobody fetched and carried for me.. ' blardy blah.

Yes that's because you're not a fecking princess and you didn't have HG if you could carry on working.

I'm no fan of the royals but some of the comments on this thread are disgusting.
Walking womb? What a vile way to refer to someone. I had bad morning sickness and a horrible pregnancy. I every sympathy for her. Jealous as fuck as ttc but every sympathy.

Technically she's not a princess though.

It's fairly ridiculous that a few posters can't point out the obvious fact that the reports of Kate out and about in Cambridge and Berkshire show that she has not been suffering for days. She looks as perky as a pekingese in every shot.

There's also a big difference between being 'spiteful' and saying that the palace has considerable form for spin. Very misleading spin. So if Kate is being a drama llama about morning sickness (very easy to do, I should know) then the palace may have swung in too early to give it a bigger name, to justify a hospital admission and put a damper on drama lama type comments.

Which is really bloody awful for genuine sufferers. She won't be able to disguise hg if she truly does have it, judging by the accounts of hg sufferers. So we'll see.

MsElleTow sorry to hear that. Sounds more like the situation I knew than the forward looking dawn of enlightenment described by Lt Eve. The Telegraph today reports that William will have to 'consider his career' in the forces now that a baby is on the way. You know, as one does .

Perhaps not everybody assumes its made up. You carry on enjoying yourself though, you must be enjoying it or you simply would read about it.

You know a lot more about her movements than I for someone who finds the whole thing rather tiresome I must say.

It's perfectly normal for the heir to the throne to have quite a short army career. Bit tricky being king and in be army and all that. Still. Why spoil a bit of outrage.

Have you seen constant reportage style footage of her over those few days then, Yellowtip? Or just the short amount of time she was actually visible to the public?

nice comments from some...

yes hg CAN come on that quickly and i doubt they hospitalised her on a whim. they wouldnt want this publicity or the announcement of the pregnancy so early.

i am not a supporter or a hater of the royal family tbh i dont have much intetest at all.

i am saddened by some of the vitriol spoutef towards an ill pregnant woman tho. fgd hg can be life threatening, its awful, thankfully i have never had it but i would never wish any pregnancy complications on anyone, or make snide comments about it.

i wish her a speedy recovery and hope the hg is managed and the rest of her pregnancy is uneventful xx

I went from being fine one Day to throwing up ten times a day overnight. And I didn't have hg so can believe she was out and about. And do you know what if it is just normal morning sickness then I still have sympathy for her cos normal morning sickness is fucking horrible. Leave her alone she's gonna be feeling shit enough as it is.

I'm happy for them that they're expecting a baby, just as I am for anybody else. Other than that it doesn't really affect me.

What does grate is hearing people on tv constantly refer to how much 'we all' love Kate & Wills and, particularly how much the news is giving 'all of us' a lift in these difficult times. Um actually no Kate being preggers isn't helping me pay my increasingly huge bills every month, nor is it helping me take my mind off them!

Yellowtip has her on CCTV

I don't really understand that Yellowtip. Why are you saying 'it's ridiculous that a few posters cn't point out that...' when you clealy can say it.
You have said what you think and others have disagreed or agreed.

You arn't being deleted or anything.
Am I mising something?

Yep, My severe morning sickness started with click of fingers. One minute I was fine, the next throwing up.I was only 4 weeks pregnant, began to feel extremely sick and was sick so went to bed.

Stayed there for 4 months.
