Duchess of Cambridge pregnant with number 2

[Crackedhouse]

Lovely news to wake up to today!

Mammu - I know, but I was commenting on others' posts as to whether Kate read mumsnet. Anyway, whether she does or doesn't, she's probably feeling too sick to read it today!

Dapple that is unpleasant.

I'm sure, in reality, it is far too 'meta' to read about yourself online like that. I imagine anyone halfway grounded soon learns to resist the temptation. Palace PR dogsbody probably keeps a weather eye though

I wonder how many they are planning to have? My perception of very posh people is that they like big families - the Queen had four kids and Kate is one of three. I know that William is one of two but his parents' marriage wasn't happy.

My guess is that they will have three or four in total.

Ha strikeout fail.

I am feeling really quite sorry for any PR intern who has been tasked with wading through this sea of Salmon and Sturgeon filth, if they do exist

Didn't you know? squoosh IS the Kate

Arsenic - yes, they'd have to learn to resist the temptation particularly as they can't answer back.
I'm very grateful that I'm a nonentity!

Just MNing her bizarre sexual fantasies about scottish nationalists to take her mind off the nausea?

Makes sense. Do carry on.

I reckon it will be a boy or a girl.

(Dapple, I'm sure it's not uncommon to seek proactive psychological advice when you are shot from obscurity to a v high profile.)

I'm guessing they'll have three or four, as would I if I had limitless wealth and an army of nannies and servants . I do dislike the 'oh we're just normal parents ' shtick.

Thats nice for them. I feel for any woman feeling unwell when they are pregnant so hopefully she will feel better soon

I feel quite sick myself seeing those pathetically waiting outside kensigton palace so they can fawn over William and claim to be ecstatic over the news

I'd just like a second one. My DD is older than George, in fact we were TTC number 2 before he was born. Can't help feel a bit sad that my DD is unlikely to have a sibling. After two MCs I find it hard to be happy for others pregnancy announcements at the moment.

Maybe they don't want a large family. Perhaps they deliberately planned to have two close together to get the whole awful pregnancy business over with ASAP. I'm quite glad mine are just over two years apart and I didn't spread the pregnancy & childbirth thing over a longer period of time, IYSWIM.

I agree it is not a small gap, I had two under two, it is not that unusual. I also think this will not be the last pregnancy for WillKat.

I reckon it'll be a girl this time and they'll call her Alice, which was Phillip's mums name

love that name

I think it will be a girl called Mildred.

William said they read netmums, so I doubt they are reading these posts.

Mildred, August? Really? Why?

Imp - as in George and Mildred. 70s sitcom

Urgh, HG again - makes me wince just thinking about it. No one should go through it no matter how much help you're surrounded by. Hopefully it will raise profile of HG? I dunno...

My money's on Peppa

August, you're showing your age. And I fully understand!!

they read Netmums

I do hope Kate has a shiny sparkly ticker with a countdown until her lovely lil womb expulses the next human.

Lovely news to hear. Congrats to them!
