The Duchess of Cambridge, who announced that she's expecting another child with Prince William
earlier today, is currently being tended to at Kensington Palace for
extreme morning sickness. But a source tells E! News that Kate knew
there was a chance she'd suffer the same complications as those she
dealt with during her pregnancy with Prince George, and opted to deal with it.
Prince George is not going to be an only child for long — the toddler
will soon have a baby sister or brother to share his fancy digs at
Kensington Palace.
British royal officials said Monday that Prince William and the
duchess of Cambridge, the former Kate Middleton, are expecting their
second child.
For the second time, Kate is being treated for acute morning sickness in the early phases of her pregnancy.
"This bout of sickness has come on very fast and Kate's gone from
feeling great to feeling terribly ill very quickly," says the source.
"They had thought that she might be lucky and not suffer it this time,
but they knew before they decided to have another baby that it was a
possibility. Kate's very practical and takes everything in her stride
and decided that she'd manage to cope and just get on with it if it
happened again."
The first time she was so ill she required hospitalization. This
time, she is being treated by doctors at her residence in Kensington
Palace. She canceled a planned engagement in Oxford to rest and receive
medical care.
Prince William told well-wishers in Oxford that Kate should be over the worst of her symptoms in a few weeks.
“She wishes she could be here,” he said.
The new baby, boy or girl, will become fourth in line to the throne,
pushing Prince Harry to fifth. George, who is 13 months old, is third
and likely to become Britain’s monarch one day. William is second in
line, while his father, Prince Charles, is first.
The insider, who notes that they believe Middleton is 10 weeks along,
continues, "Whilst it's terrible luck that Kate's so unwell with
Hyperemesis Gravidarum yet again, they're hoping she'll be on the mend
in no time and they are overjoyed at the news. They are so excited that
George will be getting a younger brother or sister next April and Kate's
just bravely fighting through this unwell stage under the guidance of
palace doctors."
Additionally, "Kate and William unofficially
moved to Amner Hall earlier this summer and they've been there for much
of her pregnancy so far. It is their countryside home and she can relax
and go for walks through the fields and woods with Lupo in the country
air, which is a real tonic for her.
With Hyperemesis Gravidarum, vomiting becomes so excessive that pregnant
women can become dehydrated and start to lose weight due to inadequate
nutrition, Dr. Amos Grunebaum, director of obstetrics at New York
Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, told Today
in December 2012. If not treated properly with intravenous fluids and
anti-nausea medicine, Hyperemesis Gravidarum can be life-threatening to
pregnant women and their fetuses, Dr. Grunebaum explained.
