Britain’s Duchess of Cambridge knew there was a possibility she’d suffer with severe morning sickness.
The 32-year-old royal, who announced yesterday (08.09.14) she is pregnant with her second child, had prepared herself for the likelihood that she’d be struck down with Hyperemesis Gravidarum again after she battled with the same complications when she was expecting 14-month-old Prince George.
A source told E! News: "This bout of sickness has come on very fast and Kate’s gone from feeling great to feeling terribly ill very quickly. 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."
Catherine and Prince William were forced to announce their baby news after the beauty pulled out of their visit to Oxford University yesterday due to the sickness.
The source added: "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."
Meanwhile, the Duchess’ mother Carole Middleton has reportedly been helping her daughter, who is being cared for by doctors at Kensington Palace in London, with little George while she’s been ill.
The source explained: "She has been visiting them a lot, staying over for several days at a time, cooking Kate’s favourite food and helping with George as Kate has very little energy to rush around after a toddler."
