How do they do it?! Just offering comradeship in the face of the next few months of constant coverage we will all have to put up with! 😫

God knows. They’ve been married for about 12 minutes. It’s not fair

QOD · 15/10/2018 11:21

Fascinating isn’t it. I wonder if they have fertility tests before or are just put on Clomid ?
Never any twins so don’t feel like it’s ivf.
Rarely premature except for Edwards little Lady Louise
All healthy other than her eye condition which isn’t exactly UNhealthy
I’d say lucky genes but they’re adding in the common people now.
It is interesting

Redrosebelle · 15/10/2018 11:22

I wondered how long they’d been trying 🙄

Onslow · 15/10/2018 12:05

It felt like a punch to my gut when I saw the headline. I don’t know them, I’m happy for them, I just hate how unavoidable the news is.

I hate that infertility makes me a bit bitter. :(

Didthatreallyhappen2 · 15/10/2018 12:49

I assumed it was a "honeymoon" baby (God I hate that phrase). Glad for them, but why isn't it that easy for everyone ….

forwhatyouare · 15/10/2018 12:57

Sorry to read this ladies 

It does make me wonder. I'm almost certain they have some sort of sorcery going on. They're always pregnant with great timing, perfectly timed to match when wedded and then bedded.

It's like they had extensive testing before they even began TTC.

Tunnockssnowballs · 15/10/2018 13:05

Isn’t it pregnacy loss awareness day as well?

LillyLeaf · 15/10/2018 13:05

It's amazing how utterly shit this can make me feel. I wouldn't wish infertility on anyone but they are a massive reminder that my body doesn't work. Not looking forward to months of the constant pregnancy updates, then the birth, then the baby photos, I might go hide in a cave.

forwhatyouare · 15/10/2018 13:05

Tunn yes it is.

Tunnockssnowballs · 15/10/2018 13:09

forwhatyouare How very thoughtful of them. Twats

Bigheadache · 15/10/2018 13:10

Tunnockssnowballs my first thought was how insensitive it was to announce it today

Tunnockssnowballs · 15/10/2018 13:12

Bigheadache so insensitive. It’s been pregnacy loss awareness week leading up to today and there has been so many stories this week about baby loss. I don’t believe for a second that they were not aware.

forwhatyouare · 15/10/2018 13:13

To be fair, I expect they don't actually know about it. That's my guess.

However, the PR team should've been more careful and certainly should've known.

Tunnockssnowballs · 15/10/2018 13:14

They are royals. They should know. And like I said I don’t believe they didn’t know. It’s been all over the news and social media

FingersXssd83 · 15/10/2018 13:15

I'm a republican so not a fan of the royals but now this. Gah! I'm avoiding the BBC for the next however many months until they've stopped cooing.

There really is no escape is there ladies?!

Tunnockssnowballs · 15/10/2018 13:16

No, no escape and anyone who hasn’t been through baby loss and/or infertility doesn’t give a shiny shit

rainbowgrimm · 15/10/2018 13:17

It's shit, isn't it. Completely insensitive. Though obviously everyone on AIBU knows better & nobody should be upset that a day about baby loss is now about a royal baby.
I keep thinking the usual morning shows will of had someone lined up to go on and talk about their loss, thinking they'll be helping others, and they've been bumped for this.

SandysMam · 15/10/2018 13:20

I have kids but my first thought when I heard this was how insufferably smug they are and even more so if you are struggling with infertility like many of my friends are.
I bet fergie is seething that they have stolen Eugenie’s thunder when the world should still be talking about her!! Flowers for those struggling.

Tunnockssnowballs · 15/10/2018 13:21

I’ve just commented on AIBU but I should know better. I’m sure someone who is pretending they have lost a baby to win the argument will come along to tell me off shortly.

Tunnockssnowballs · 15/10/2018 13:22

SandysMam Yes I initially thought what breed of twat announces a pregnacy at someone’s wedding! Never mind on baby loss Remembrance Day 🙄

NWQM · 15/10/2018 13:43

Just wanted to send everyone a virtual hug.

I'm not a big royalist but not anti either but very disappointed at the timing. Feels as they would have taken other difficult situations into account when considering the timing of the announcement but no-one knew about baby loss.

Good luck to them but it's very insensitive to have announced it today.

FingersXssd83 · 15/10/2018 14:05

Gosh did they actually announce it the wedding 🙊

PossibiliTea · 15/10/2018 14:10

I just had the exact same thought regarding the timing of it all how do they do it?

Sunshine19 · 15/10/2018 14:12

So glad we have forums like this when ANOTHER pregnancy announcement is just another punch in the gut!

My sister had her baby boy this morning too. I love her dearly and glad the wee man is well but infertility has somehow got the better of me and made me feel a tad bitter!

I also seen a Facebook comment about the royal announcement this morning an idiot had commented ‘glad she got a move on!’ 🤬 Wanted to jump on the comments and give her what for being the ignorant moron that she is clearly having no clue about the struggles of infertility.

Life is so unfair sometimes 😢 hugs to you all xox

Tobebythesea · 15/10/2018 14:17

I’m happy and sad at the same time.
