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.

Feel sorry for anyone with hyperemesis, whatever their bank balance (although I suppose a few million does buy you doctors who will actually take an interest).

[Gingerodgers]

Go smacked by some of the nastiness on here. What an unpleasant bunch some of you are.

[Gingerodgers]

Gobsmacked

[stitch]

i want the news to stop as well. its been five minutes, and im sick of it already

[kennyp]

Maybe chegsy cole can get pregnant too and have twins or more and that might take the shine off kate

woman pregnant!!!!!! Hold the front page!!!!!!! Her granny in law is the queen!!!!!***. Repeat to fade until january.

[EverlongLovesHerChristmasRobin]

How can you be sick of it already?

We've only known for 7 frigging hours. I've heard it once on the radio at 4.30.

So dramatic some of you.

I think this thread needs pulling tbh. I hadn't read it when I commented but after doing so see there are some of you are proper nasty cunts cows.

[Northernlurker]

I agree Everlong.

[ladydepp]

Yellowtip - I can't wait to see a list of all the incredibly useful things you have done for society lately, please could you enlighten us? Are you always this nasty?

Oh and could you please also tell us why Kate is more pointless than - oh- YOU?

Kate may be incredibly privileged, but I wouldn't trade places with her at the moment, media camped outside while she is feeling utterly vile.....poor thing. I hope she has a happy, healthy pregnancy and a beautiful, healthy baby. And I am not a royalist.......just a woman with a little compassion for other women.

[fedupofnamechanging]

I am sorry she is ill, but I do feel that women who have other dc to look after, and are under pressure to not take time off work, are having a tougher time and a lot less sympathy/consideration.

I also don't think that her baby is more important than anyone else's, so the fact that it is heir to the throne is utterly irrelevant, imo.

I do wish her well, but she is not the only person in the world to ever have been pg and I don't want to hear all the details for the next 8 months. The news has seriously dumbed down wrt this story - do journalists not realise that a great many of us know all about pg and sickness and don't need it explained in excruciating detail.

No offence to Kate, but there are more important things happening in the world.

[PickledInAPearTree]

Vent your spleens on the media.

I'm pretty sure Kate would prefer to be left alone.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I'm sure she would rather be able to have done privacy. I'm sure she would rather have been able to wait until she'd got past 12 weeks before having to announce it instead it's had to be announced early to stop her privacy being ridiculously intruded on.

I'm sure she doesn't give a fuck how disinterested and mean spirited you are OP.

Also fairly sure that being wealthy doesn't make much difference to how one feels vomiting continually. But of course,because your friend was treated badly,so should every woman with HG.

[Morloth]

I still don't get it.

As far as I can see she personally has not done anything to hurt anyone or said anything unpleasant or actually done anything to deserve any sort of unpleasantness.

She is sick so has gone to hospital, how is it her personal fault that other people have not been treated well by GPs?

I married a rich handsome man, is that really such an awful action that means anything bad that happens to me doesn't count anymore?

[Lora1982]

My heart sank when i heard there was going to be 14 pages in one paper allllll about it tomorrow. Im pleased for them i am... But i really dont want a minute by minute update. Tedious

[AltinkumATEalltheTurkey]

I just hope she get peace and allowed to enjoy her pregnancy, and be allowed to parent the child as they see fit away from media spotlight.

Like any new parents to be, its a massive change to the system, never mind being in the spotlight to boot.

[Lueji]

You don't even know for sure the real reason she was admitted, OP.


Precious first born syndrome, but mostly for the press.

[SomersetONeil]

"I just find her utterly pointless, 'carrying the heir' or not. Uninteresting and rather rodentine."



So much so, that you're banging on about her on this thread. Pull the other one. If you really found her 'pointless' and 'uninteresting', it wouldn't even occur to you to click on threads about her...

You're as interested as all the other people which will fuel the humongous British media obsession that will ensue over the coming months. The obsession that the OP seems to feel is beyond her power to ignore, if she so chooses...

[FellatioBellsOn]

Oh don't be so bloody bitter.

Yes. ^ That.

[TeeElfOnTeeShelf]

The only appropriate response to the announcement of a baby, any baby, is 'congratulations'.

I am so sick of the slagging off and the 'who gives a fuck' posts.

I hope people don't say such things about other women they don't really know when they hear a stranger is pregnant.

"Did you hear? My mother's next door neighbour's daughter is pregnant and she's really sick with it."
"Who gives a fuck!"

Seriously? This is what you'd say?

[TheGothMummy]

Hi, i'm new..ish. i'm a silent stalker who just decided to join properly.
i feel SO sorry for her. my sister suffered really badly. i was bless with all three to never have it. BUT...
as i went to my email to click my proper registration thing, i just saw on frotn page of 'hotmail news' about Kate being in hospital etc etc, for the billionth time today... and i admit i did say out loud 'oh she'll be fine, shes pregnant not terminal!'
i DO feel for her, but they're making out like shes on her last lovely legs. but news is news, and some people will want a minute by minute account.
my first thoughts was 'oh my god they've had sex.' which, of course they would've, but it seems weird cos they're royal. go on, imagine it for a sec...weird.

[ipswichwitch]

I'm bit exactly fussed on the Royal family myself, but if you take away who she is, what you have is a young woman in early pregnancy, who's feeling pretty bloody awful and probably terrified. I hope to god the press leave her the hell alone. Imagine going through something as hideous as HG (not something you can just "get on with it"), and not only having the paparazzi fighting to get photos if you with your head down the toilet, but having to announce to the world why you've been hospitalised.

[Alligatorpie]

This thread is really awful.

OP do you dislike everyone who has more money / privilege than you? Sounds like your friend had bad medical advice, but do you wish that on everyone? What a nasty attitude.

She is pregnant, sick, has unimaginable pressure on her and was forced to announce her pregnancy to the world before she was 12 weeks, to avoid media speculation about why she is in hospital. Give her a break.

And if you don't want to read about her, why did you start a thread about her?

[ipswichwitch]

Should read "I'm not exactly fussed"

[Bunbaker]

"Why is it spiteful to not have sympathy for a rich pampered princess?"

"Pointless posh bint having baby with pointless posh twit to further the family line of a bunch of pointless inbreds."

Wow, some of the nastiness on here!

Being rich doesn't guarantee you good health or easy pregnancies. Why so many chips on shoulders? I agree with Pantofino - "So you wish a fellow human being, a fellow woman, illness and a shit pregnancy because she happens to have more more money than you?"

[DesperatelySeekingSedatives]

YABU I feel really sorry for her! She must feel lousy and she's had to have her pregnancy announced to the world before she's even 12 weeks into it! I bet her and William would have prefered to wait another month at least before it was announced. Not to mention all the pressure Kate is under to deliver a 100% healthy baby into the world.

Thinking about it that way, I think your friend got quite a good deal!
