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.

The thing is, if Kate didn't lurk on MN before, she's bound to now she's going to be a mum, isn't she?

And this is what she's going to see.

Nice introduction, huh?

well myself and four of my children have had norovirus in the last week.

you tend to get diahrrea, vommiting, stomach cramps, temp, shivering cold alternating with being hot etc. so virus type symptoms rather than just being sick, retching etv.

yellowtip what's with the vitriol towards Kate?

I don't get it.

Did she steal William away from you or summat.

It's silly to say that people are being 'vile' - this is an institution that we are supposed to support 'just because'. Some people don't agree with it and they are entitled to their opinion! Particularly when their taxes support the existence of the monarchy.

I bet they have hundreds of flat screen TV's - and I know for a fact that Prince Charles has goats.

you dont have to support the monarchy no-one is saying that. but this is a woman who.is ill and suffering and posters are saying and insinuating that she is making it up, being dramatix/drama queen. as well as other nasty comments about her. she is a preg woman who is sufferi g so yes i do think.its a bit bloody mean to be so nasty about her. hg is awful.

Hey, I'm not bitter! I've given birth to two babies: one vaginally and one by ELCS. Both courtesy of the NHS.

I'm a realist. The Royal Fanjo will stay intact! It's kind of obvious ... There will be some complication cited to the public (genuine or not) which means the baby will bs born by ELCS.

I'm not here to debate the merits and demerits of each mode birth. But I'm certain of the care she'll receive and it will be nothing like the care most women in the UK receive.

Pickled I'm not one of the ones who said I don't want to hear about the royals. I'm fine hearing about them. Never said any different.

LtEve you do seem to have a habit of telling people 'I didn't realise you were a doctor' 'I didn't realise you knew Diana personally' 'I didn't realise you were a personal acquaintance of Carole and Mike' etc. etc. Of course you don't realise bcause you have absoltely no way of knowing. You sound like a peevish seven year old. It's a bit silly to imagine everyone on MN is an island. Of course there are doctors, of course there are people who know people. Why wouldn't there be? You appear to be a spokesperson for the British military establishment from what I can read. I've never queried that. What's your take on the army's treatment of Danny Nightingale then, since you're clearly in a position of power?

I can understand people being totally indifferent to Kate and William and their baby.

I can understand people being irritated by the media coverage.

But I can't understand some of the really personal and spiteful comments being made about them and about Kate's family. Some of the posts on here sound very bitter.

No yellowtip, just pointing out that the statements people (like you) are making as if they are FACT are nothing of the sort, unless they can be said with a form of authority ie personal or professional knowledge. Did you not understand that?

No, Kate didn't pinch William from me Everlong. I think a relationship between the two of us would be age inappropriate, even though I like to think I'm pretty liberal. His dad does live in one of our old family houses but he paid good money for that so I can't really snip. (Ok, a tiny bit envying though, since it's been all prettied up - especially if he's brought in goats).

Completely agree Molotov. Then there can be a seamless transition from pity about bigged up hg to pity about c-sectioning. Inspired! Oh, and she can have even more weeks off. Ideal!

Still want to know more about the putative surrogate though. No smoke without fire, eh? It's been done before.

Tell me what exactly I've stated as FACT thenEve. I would only state as fact something I know as fact, either through personal or professional knowledge.

I think you will find, Yellowtip that there is often smoke without fire.

I do hope not Jane. I'd love a surrogate scandal. The papers could call it Surrogate :)

LtEve, DH finishes at 12.30 on 21/12 for Christmas and goes back to work on 3rd January 2013. Unfortunately my surgeon is not doing any routine cases during that time! He has begged and pleaded today and has been granted 1 day off for me to have my procedure, as long as the date fits in with them. Despite having 10 days annual leave left, he has been told he will have to work late a few days to make up for it! .

Whilst I wish the well as fellow human beings I am not pleased at having to support yet another 'Royal' through my hard earned taxes. I'd rather it went to benefit recipients or other social welfare schemes not to the richest benefit claimants in the World TBH.

And spare me the 'Oh but some of the 'Royals' like Anne work so hard'.

No they do not. The oft quoted approximate 300 engagements/year bandied about doesn't sound so impressive when a quick peek at the Court Circular reveals that in fact a day may see 4-5 brief visits in one area. The reality is a working year of about 100 days. Not so dedicated is it?

Eve said she could fix it for you MsElle. FACT. I'd give it a whirl. She sounds very important. Your DH shouldn't have to beg. I doubt William did. And he's like any other I think a previous poster said (as FACT).

I haven't read the whole thread so I apologise if this has been said, but - do you think Kate wants you to have a minute by minute account of one of the most private elements of her life? I feel really sorry for her.

It is interesting that out of all the posters on here, most claiming to be Royalist or supportive of the monarchy cannot even get her name right. It is not Kate. She doesn't refer to herself by that name.

Yet Molotov who appears not to be a Monarchist, manages to at least call her by her given and preferred name.

Ironic that.

mignonette

I call her Kate because I am a cheeky peasant and can't be arsed to do more typing than strictly necessary.

Maybe others call her Kate because they really truly know her based on what they have read in the DM

Chaz Love the attitude

Well I doggedly call her Kate because the engagement day insistence that she now be known as Catherine was too silly for words. So I won't do it. Except ironically. I was trying not to be ironic on this thread. I hoped Molotov was.

It's all getting very meta-ironic .

Hi MissElleTow, I'm glad he is having leave after all, I was worried when you said he wasn't off until March! Sounds a nightmare though, I hope it goes well.
