To think that RF looked disinterested?

When the couple were making their vows - heads firmly in programmes

Shockers the problem is that posters on MN would frequently be betraying a confidence or compromising someone else if they cited 'evidence'.

“HG has been technically defined as more than three episodes of vomiting per day such that weight loss of 5% or three kilograms has occurred and ketones are present in the urine.[3] ”

I’m not sure how you could have evidence contradicting this, goodbyestranger, unless you’ve literally read Kate’s medical notes.
It’s very unlikely she would have announced her pregnancy at 8 weeks and been admitted to hospital unless she did indeed need rehydration.

Goodness. I always thought that what I had was horrendous morning sickness, not HG, but being sick frequently and losing weight was a regular feature. My record was throwing up 19 times one day.

Cel982 well that's fine. Let's just all agree in a lovely sororal that Kate was marvellously lucky to have such a confined period of 'hg' that she was out and about socially at twelve weeks with each of the three pregnancies including the first. The two people I knew who suffered from true hg were hospitalised for weeks and needed rehydration right up until delivery. Sonds at the very least like hg lite in Kate's case, even without the info about Carole freaking out.

That should be sounds, not sonds.

Gnu me too. I still believe hg is a whole different ball game having seen the extent to which others have suffered for a whole nine months needing hospitalisation for long periods of time. As I've said, ordinary morning sickness is grim and throwing up through the day is grim but hg is something else entirely.

The way St George's Chapel is laid out they wouldn't have been able to see anything!

I generally refuse to 'link' but this is specially for pallisers, by way of education.

Sorry goodbye but your random googling was in vain. To quote yourself Anyhow, I'm adamant and I'll stay adamant I'm pretty certain I know more about your medical history than you do. I'm sure you can appreciate that stance.

pallisers I don't need to randomly google to know about delayed PPHs or SWAT teams or US army sergeants who were sacked from SWAT teams because they couldn't hook up the blood I needed and lost it. I don't know what your problem is but you're incredibly weird. My obstectric history happens to be colourful, but I'm lucky that I have eight fantastic DC to show for it. You clearly know very little about obstecrics, but I note the lack of apology. If I get things wrong I tend to say Oops and sorry, my bad. Anyhow, incredibly weird.

Eight kids? Gosh, that’s a lot

I’m not the Daddy I’ve never met you

Really, I'm no weirder than you.

If you can randomly and absolutely refute a stranger's medical history on this website, well then so can I.

It is a very colourful story though. I love the sacking of the US Army Sargeants.

I'd accept that Kate did have HG, because she was admitted to hospital each time; reputable doctors said she did; and because it's really crass to diagnose people based on newspaper reports.

Ok so it can get even weirder if I tell you the sergeant's name, which I'd better not. But the clincher was blood pressure diving through the floor, the sarge being told to hook up blood fast and her shrieking 'She's gonna die, she's gonna die and it's all gonna be my fault'. Which actually saved my life because I came to at the shriek and swore at her to hook the bloody thing up. So actually, they shouldn't have sacked her. I still feel bad about it actually.

Ten days previously in the same hospital straight after my delivery the Mexican cleaning lady was hawking round an unidentified placenta asking all the new mothers if it was theirs:' Is yours honey?' (nope) 'You sure honey?' (Er yup) 'It honk like a horse honey' (Yup - get it away).

If you want colourful, you go to the Mojave desert to give birth and you'll get colourful ok....

And just to prove I can spell obstetric if I don't type too fast.

A bit...odd!? Oh I am utterly crushed.
🙄

I agree with you, derxa. She doesn’t.

Yes I think you mean "uninterested". "Disinterested" means impartial

Rabbity - it can also mean "uninterested", as it clearly does here (given you've acknowledged that's what the OP meant). We did this on this thread two days ago. OED gives the uninterested meaning as a widely accepted second meaning (and in fact the way it was used in the first documented use of disinterested).

Disinterested? Uninterested? Neither imo.
Most of them looked awkward as if this spectacle was excruciating for them to sit through. The averted eyes suggest they were trying to remove themselves from it - disassociating, in other words. If you approve of something, you do not behave like that.
