Can't say I'm filled with glee, as some on the radio were claiming to be.
What's 'acute' morning sickness?
Might have known her Royalness would have to be suffering more than every other woman on the planet who spends months puking, and still have to drag themselves to work and clean the house!
The puking is due to the presence of the human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) hormone - more commonly known as the pregnancy hormone, which irritates the stomach, but actually its presence shows that things are as they should be...so why they're making a drama out of it is a little mystifying.
Anyway, sorry I can't throw a party about it, but am off to re-read the attempted deciphering of the occult symbolism displayed at the Olympics, which included a depiction of a monstrous (in size, at least) baby.
