Maybe its because I'm still so "new" at PgAL but honestly, it just makes me sick to my stomach to hear about it. I wish her well and hope like I do for anyone and everyone that she has a healthy pregnancy. But that twinge of sadness, jealousy, whatever you want to call it is very much present. Maybe that makes no sense being that I'm currently pregnant but truthfully I don't want to hear about it. It just reminds me that the rest of the world can get and stay pregnant so easily and it brings up lots of feelings of just being a failure. She's just another pregnant woman...why is she so important?
Not to mention if I lose this baby I get a very public reminder of what my baby should be doing.
I don't care, at all. People get pregnant all the time, and just because she's royalty doesn't mean it should really be anything special. I actually feel sorry for her, I would hate to be in the public eye while feeling/looking like hell. She has to get all dolled up for every appearance, what pregnant woman in the beginning wants to do that??
I also heard she's been hospitalized because of hyperemesis gravida. I do hope that she overcomes that, I've been there and it's awful

I'm thinking of you often and really hoping things go well for you this pregnancy!
I
also get the jealous twinge when I hear pregnancy announcements and I'm
almost halfway through mine. I'm not sure it ever goes away. For me
it's worse for people I know IRL, though.
I still feel sorry for her. We don't know what their fertility experiences have been and they have to hate being forced into this kind of announcement so soon.
This. I don't think they would have announced until 2nd tri if it weren't for the HG. And as you said, they may have been having fertility issues. I'm happy for them on the same level I'd be happy for anyone and hope nothing goes wrong. They aren't even announcing the EDD yet, just saying "it's early."

I am a 'celebrity' gossip junkie, so I am glad to finally hear a TRUE report. But I am not looking forward to constantly being updated if that's how it's gonna be

excellent point!! although I am not a big fan of her fashion & beauty choices.
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

I am a celebrity gossip reader and a tabloid mentioned prior to the wedding she had a work up of testing (no idea what) to suggest she is fertile. and so did Lady Di! royalty.

Most royal babies are born within a year of their parents' wedding, but assuming this baby's EDD is around July 2013, that'll be two full years and change after their wedding. That alone tells me they probably experienced some fertility issues.
This is interesting, I didn't know that. However, Kate and William have done things differently than the royal "trend" from the beginning so I don't think you can assume that they had fertility problems just because of that one thing.
I agree. Interesting point, but I swear if it were true, some way, somehow, we'd have heard aaaaalllll about their issues.
It was a rough road, but Arlo Daniel was born April 1, 2013—and our second rainbow is due October 12, 2014.

If they've only been married a little over a year and she's already pregnant then I guess I don't consider that "fertility issues" seeing as it can take the average couple a year. Plus, most couples these days, at least with the majority of my own friends, wait a full year into marriage before TTC.
I'm actually really happy for her, because I can't imagine the PRESSURE she was under to get pregnant, and can you imagine if she ended up being 1 in 4 like us, and the WHOLE world knew b/c she had horrible morning sickness? I can't even imagine the pressure she's STILL under. So I'm happy for her

This is how I feel. But the petty side of me is so glad I got pregnant first I know it sounds horrible. Their wedding was 2 months after my first loss and I was dreading the announcement that I was sure would arrive 36 months after the wedding.

There are tabloid articles out there that rumor she is 1 in 4. It's the tabloids though, so not the most reliable source.

Personally, I know many people disagree because they think they have everything they need in life but I feel sorry for them.
There has to be so much stress involved in looking right, feeling right, behaving properly, not to mention all of the anxiety that comes along with having a pregnancy even if you haven't had a loss. What if something goes wrong? It is just a ton of pressure. Sure she will have all the finest maternity clothes but she will be expected to look fantastic and be a glow every time she steps foot out of their house. And the fact that the entire world is going to know every detail insane. The tabloids would take photos of her mucus plug if they could.
I love my privacy. They will never have it. Some may think I am crazy but I will take my middle class life in my motherhood maternity sweatsuit over their lives almost any day.
I agree with everything you said. I feel bad for Kate that the entire world is now watching her uterus.
I'm happy for them, but I'll admit I cringed a little at all of the hype...more out of sympathy for her as all I could think of was "I hope that something doesn't go wrong." in that every single moment of their pregnancy is going to be played out in the news. Heck, she's hospitalized for hyperemesis gravida and the whole world now knows she is puking her brains out.

Ditto PP about not wanting to hear about this for the next 8 months... Also, I feel for her that what should be the most special time for her and William is going to be plastered everywhere for (literally) the whole world to see. We don't know what their past experiences are, and to have this pregnancy be fodder for tabloids, etc, would be horrible.
I do also agree about wanting to see her maternity fashion!
