Kate Middleton.....can we have a word?

Does anybody else really hope that Kate Middleton gets into the car after these engagements. Hoicks up her support tights, slips on some fluffy slippers and gets a bar of Dairy milk and a packet of Gaviscon tabs from her bag!

Honestly, that tiny bump, high heels, shiny hair (although my hair is ok) and permanent smile is doing nothing for the rest of us heavily pregnant women.

My bump appears to looking like i'm actually carrying an elephant to its gestation.

I would also quite like a picture of her getting out of the car and grimacing at that moment when the baby causes you to let out a little wee.

Or the waddle shuffle.

Or the grunting face you pull when you have bent over or crouched down forgetting that it is nearly impossible to get up again.
Or the sudden onset of crippling cramp in any part of your legs or feet.

If your reading this lady, do you think you could oblige one or more of the above?

God I know she always looks glorious!

Am quite excited for news of the birth.

alittleegglayonaleaf · 17/03/2015 17:03

How are her ankles and limbs so devoid of fluid retention!!???

BallsToThat · 17/03/2015 17:04

Bear in mind she spent the first few months of both pregnancies chucking her guts up!

I had hyperemesis in my last pregnancy - wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. Five and a half months of constant puking was no fun.

I had a brief 'blooming' period of a few weeks around the 6-7 month mark, and other women commented wistfully on how much pregnancy suited me and how neat my bump was. Yeahhhhh...my bump was neat because I lost a stone in the first trimester through chucking up and, sure, I looked good..but they hadnt seen me for 6 months while I'd been lying on the sofa crying spewing bile on the floor Grin

FernGullysWoollyPully · 17/03/2015 17:05

How is her skin so bloody flawless?!

I look like the top of a pizza!!

I think we should all have CakeSad

Laquila · 17/03/2015 17:05

It's incredible, isn't it - she alike a chuffing superhuman! Not that I'm not pleased for her, but it just makes the rest of us feel a tiny bit inadequate. Maybe she wears support stockings at night? At her stage, my ankles were the same size as her thighs.

Cockbollocks · 17/03/2015 17:07

So did I - on tablets until 19 weeks, constant vomiting and nausea!! Although in fairness I never ended up in hospital with it.

Last time she hid away for the last month, and probably will do this time too. Maybe this is when she balloons.

LaurieFairyCake · 17/03/2015 17:17

She looks really lovely considering how ill she was.

Skiptonlass · 17/03/2015 17:22

I do not envy her at all. I know she's got wealth and status, and a team of folks making her life effort free, but...She's scrutinised, watched, criticised for anything she wears or does. She's got no freedom. I saw a story the other day where she was criticised for having a tiny strand of grey - imagine living like that... You're basically a brood mare and you have to look perfect, have no opinion on anything and no career. No ta.

Having had a taste of severe morning sickness, I am actually quite grateful she shared that, because it really brought it to the public eye. But no, I don't envy her one bit.

I wouldn't mind her wardrobe though ;)

Cockbollocks · 17/03/2015 17:22

Cake is clearly my problem fern!

Don't get me wrong, i'm very happy for her. Now where do we send her some calorific cakes?

Some of us just don't get that big. I'll apologize on behalf of all of us who don't.

I don't have a permanent smile or wear high heels, though.

Cockbollocks · 17/03/2015 17:29

It is the combination of perfectness i'm jealous of - no need to apologise, we can't all be heffers.

If we were then stupid people wouldn't have anything to say when the see me.

might be slightly bitter at being told how huge I am everytime I see another person

One of my gym instructors taught up till week 38
she looked offensively fabulous
and was back teaching 6 weeks afterwards looking like she'd never had a baby
some people are just lucky

or when KM is not on view she is doing shit loads of pilates and yoga to stay looking fit
and is having all her meals cooked to allow her max energy and nutrients for minimum bloat

Chillyegg · 17/03/2015 17:40

I think shes ahmazeing ! If i had to do what she does id be stopping every 10 mins to go for a wee/sit down/eat.
I also wouldn't be walking it would be a definite waddle, in my leggings! I cant fit into anything else Grin

I think her clothes and height are helping to make her bump look smaller. Saw the heels and thought RESPECT when she didn't waddle in them.

It must help that she has the ability to rest. While she is working when she attends these functions there is quite a bit of downtime while on the way there and back. Its not like she is driving herself (not that I would expect her to as the Duchess of Cambridge).

scarednoob · 17/03/2015 18:30

there is something about her that really irritates me. i just think she's so boring, possibly the most vanilla person in the public eye! i know she has to be in her position and so on, but.... god it would have made for much better gossip reading if he'd married someone like lindsay lohan or miley cyrus............

AnnieMoor · 17/03/2015 18:38

I had a diddy little bump like her, and didn't gain much weight. I did a LOT of exercise and suspects she does too.

I wore high heels only once, when 36 weeks, and fell flat on my face in Marks and Spencer, so I am impressed she manages it with no problem.

TalkinPeace · 17/03/2015 19:17

watch the eye roll video
she is a consummate actress

AnnieMoor · 17/03/2015 19:23

My dh thinks she's a robot and gets plugged into a charger overnight Grin

BubGal13 · 17/03/2015 19:43

Talk- have seen it buy do you mean actress in good at hiding she actually has a cheeky sense of humour or that she is actually not a very nice person?

Just intrigued...

Bigbadgeorge · 17/03/2015 21:43

Easy to look glam when you've got money for stylists, nannies, nutritionists, personal trainers.........

Mrscog · 17/03/2015 21:49

I think being tall really helps. I'm a very similar gestation to her, but 5ft 2 with a very short torso. I feel so dumpy compared to her even though I've not gained loads of weight (well 2.5 stone at 36 weeks).

TalkinPeace · 17/03/2015 21:53

bubgal
I suspect she and William curl up on the sofa and have a damn good snigger about some of the twonks she has to deal with day in day out

I genuinely think she still finds her luck of the draw hilarious
and that she's dead lucky to be with a chap who she adores and who adores her
AND gets all the perks
