"It's a Girl" - Prince William & Duchess Kate Are Expecting their Second Child

By Elizabeth Nelson

The country rejoiced when it was announced that the Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant again.  But the spare is proving as troublesome for the Duchess as the heir – Kensington Palace officials were forced to announce the pregnancy early because Kate, right, is suffering from severe hyperemesis gravidarum.

That's right, Duchess of Cambridge, Kate is pregnant and is suffering from severe hyperemesis gravidarum, once again as she did during her last pregnancy. However, this time she's declared  that, "she's carrying a girl this time", although she's too early, at 14-weeks, to tell from a ultrasound.  No, she's not psychic, she just "feels different with this child", then she did carrying little heir George.

Now, the Duchess is not suffering from "morning sickness" like I had with my son and is common in most pregnancies.  Her condition is far more insufferable, and usually results in hospitalization and bed rest. Morning sickness is a very common symptom of pregnancy, affecting about half of all expectant mothers, and it ranges from mild nausea to daily vomiting. It isn’t pleasant but it certainly isn’t serious.

Hyperemesis gravidarum, on the other hand, is brutal. Affecting only two per cent of pregnant women, the sickness is so severe that sufferers end up dehydrated and weak.

This often results in hospital admission – as it did when Kate was carrying her first child – for intravenous fluids and heavy-duty anti-sickness drugs. Thankfully, in most cases the health of the baby is unaffected.

The Royal couple are also said to be hiring a maternity nurse, who will live with mother and baby round-the-clock. William and Kate did not do the same for Prince George – but I say if you can afford it, go for it. Managing with sleepless nights is one of the hardest things to get used to as a parent, and it is not necessarily easier the second time around.

I bet everyone else missed the other fact of this story, other than the joyous and sweet fact that Prince George is going to be a big brother soon.  We are once again going to have to listen our hypocritical American liberals gush on-and-on about the how "Prince William & Duchess Kate are expecting and pregnant with a baby." 

So, I guess the moral of this story is, unborn American babies  aren't worthy of being called "babies," and it's a "woman's right to choose whether the 'blob' lives or dies," therefore they've been demoted to changing the term and call them "fetuses" on this side of the pond, because the title of "baby" is only worthy of British Royalty.  Funny, we don't wait to call unborn puppies petuses, nor would we ever think to abort a litter of puppies.
