According to In Touch magazine's front cover, William and Kate are expecting baby #2... It's probably a load of crap, but now that George is close to a year old, they are probably thinking about having another one.
I predict they will have another baby when he is a good 2. Close in age, but still gives them time to enjoy just him. K and P and their brother are all close in age. W and H are close too.
None are a year apart but still close enough to have been good friends, things in common all through their lives starting from youth.
The papers are want to put out this story there in Brit to be the first to ahve the news.
Really the media, they should give it a rest.
Meh... she really serves no other useful purpose......
^^ Wow. Really? :no:
I wonder what you think of my handicapped son. No useful purpose?
Oh dear.... argumentative perhaps?
I was only referring to Kate and specifically to this thread. Any extrapolation of my opinion to others is would not be logical.
Just like the first time, the media will continue to occasionally declare Kate pregnant until she really is. And then they'll rush to say, "I told you so!!" :lol:
Cindy
I think it's pretty obvious that some people are prone to exaggerate about Kate.
But to say someone serves no useful purpose except having a baby--now that is argumentative and unreasonable. It isn't confined to this thread when you say "she really serves no other useful purpose." That takes it outside this "baby #2" thread and refers to her whole life. EVERYONE has multiple useful purposes, from the beggar on the street to kings and queens.
Words have consequences in people's real lives, even if we are anonymous here.
I think she might be, her hair and skin look really awful, could be hormones, or nothing, but she will be trying soon, it beats working for her... What a waste of an amazing platform on that woman... :no:
Kate's been pregnant ever since she left the hospital with George
Ever since she married...
...and probably before.
Well lets put things in to perspective as a wife to the heir to the heir her biggest purpose is to produce and heir and spare to continue the line of succession however, Why does the media have to keep speculating? William and Kate will announce a second pregnancy IMO with in the next 2 years and really when she becomes pregnant or they decide to expand their family is between them and not the media and public.
^^^Very true and like every royal woman that speculation will carry on for years. My own belief is that they'll have one when George is closer to two.
If she is in early pregnancy now (too early to announce publicly) then George *will* be closer to 2 when she has it.
^true! Given that William and Kate are both in their 30s I can't imagine why they would wait. The older you get, the harder it is!
I imagine #2 will come along in the next 18 months or so.
If there is going to be a second baby they had best get on with it. So I would say in a year or so. Consider how silly it is to talk about babies when 1) Will hasn't even decided on his job yet and 2) they haven't got Anmer Hall finished. Normal they are not.

Jessica Hay does her thing, again. SUCH a good friend :Lothwen:

:Lothwen: :snob:
Nope. Jessica Hay is just attention seeking as usual.
I don't believe Jessica Hay has any kind of inside track on W&K info. She made a guess most people were making last time around (that Kate would get pregnant right after the Jubilee tour), but she hasn't been right on anything else. She guessed the wedding date wrong. She told stories about Kate's school times that she either had to retract or were shown to be untrue. She spread a "Carole will be the nanny story" that was wrong.
I think they were friends (but not all that close) at Marlborough and haven't been in touch in ages. She wasn't invited to the wedding, so I hardly think Kate's calling her up to tell her about peeing on a drugstore pregnancy test and telling Will the news over shepherd's pie -- details Jessica Hay says she was privy to last time around.
Jessica Hay seems to me to be unbalanced. I feel sorry for her. What I don't understand is why the media keep thinking she is an inside source when she has been proven wrong over and over.
She is not the first, nor the last, to be making a pretty penny or two off the back of W&K. Ahem, her own Sister is not shy in coming forward on that score.
Say what you will about Pippa, but I don't remember her ever giving information about W&K to the media. Ever. She's certainly trying to sell HERSELF, but that's very different than selling her sister and brother-in-law's private information.
I didn't say she is giving private information....I said she is making money off the back of them...and she is. Who would give her the time of day, otherwise?

She has nothing to give but information on her sister, private or not, she has accomplished nothing else but having an older sibling who is a Princess, she has done nothing else worthy of an interview... Her sister's relationship with her is the only thing she has to sell...
I don't think there is a 2nd baby yet for Kate. But, I do believe there will be another baby for Kate in 2015 in Spring /Summer/ Autumn/ Winter?
2015 Royal Baby Year
Duchess of Cambridge
Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden
HGD Stephanie of Luxembourg
Others??
Obviously the reason people are interested in Pippa and she gets media attention is because of who her sister is. But has she ever actually given out information about Kate or Will? As I said, I can't think of a single time she has.
Practically, all she does is talk about her sister just nothing juicy... But, all interviews show how obvious it is that Kate is the only reason she is being interviewed.
Is Prince George getting a sibling? Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, pregnancy bets suspended | Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2692792/Is-Prince-George-sibling-Betting-suspended-royal-pregnancy-announcement-month-following-string-online-wagers.html)
QuoteWith less than a week to go until Prince George's first birthday, bookmakers have suspended betting on a royal pregnancy announcement this month after a flurry of bets were placed overnight.
The bets, which were placed with bookmakers Coral, were made online and in quick succession - enough, said a spokesman for the betting firm, to set alarm bells ringing.
Most prominent was a report in Australian magazine New Idea, which alleged that a friend of the Duchess has confirmed the pregnancy rumours.
Jessica Hay, who confirmed the Duchess of Cambridge's first pregnancy in November 2012, is said to have told the tabloid that the Duchess is expecting with an announcement to follow 'within months'.
'Kate's inner circle are buzzing with the news that she is pregnant,' said Hay, according to the Australian magazine.
'I've heard it from several different friends of theirs now and they're saying that they think there's going to be an official announcement in weeks.'
Hay, who attended Marlborough College with the Duchess, added, 'Kate's face is fuller like it was when she was first expecting George and she's been changing her hair, which could be to disguise the fullness.
'She has rosy cheeks, she's letting her greys show again, and whenever she's out in public she goes to great lengths to hold something over her tummy.'

Just to piss people off and give the middle finer to the speculators, I hope they only have one baby. If they go for 2, not for 3-4 more years.
While I understand where you are coming from, I hope that Kate and William don't make their family planning decisions based on how the public react!! Raising a family is an incredible responsibility, and shouldn't be based on whether they feel like giving speculators the middle finger or not. If Kate and William are ready for baby 2, more power to them!! And if they want a bigger gap between their kids, they aren't so old yet that they can't wait another year or two.

I remember that W-A and Max had Amalia "announce" by way of the royal communications that she was going to be a big sister. Speculation that Maxima was pregnant with her second child had begun weeks before when she sported a small bump at Princess/Queen Juliana's funeral.
Maybe the Cambridges will have their son "share" the news too the public in a creative manner when the time comes.
^^ That would be cute, TLLK.
Someday when my husband and I decided to have a child, we want to announce it somehow with our dog being a big brother. That's so corny I'm going to hide under this chair: :hide:
Then I'm going to coax you out when you're ready. That is an adorable way to announce a pregnancy.

Women are happily having children into their 40's now so there's nothing stopping them waiting longer or extending their family when in their 40's as well.
Thank goodness they're not so old yet (says the 31 year old spinster :clap:)
I agree, their family planning should be up to them. I remember people were complaining that she didn't get pregnant her first year of marriage, and were using that as a sign that there must be trouble in the relationship.
^^^I swear that every royal couple who is either the CP or close to it is under stork watch from the moment the engagement is announced.
You're not a spinster at 31!!!!! Didn't marry until I was 34!
Isn't it annoying how an unmarried woman is deemed "a spinster" (derogatory - something must be wrong with her); whilst an unmarried man is deemed to be an "eligible bachelor" (to be celebrated and "caught" a la Mr Clooney).
"Spinster" is better than "old maid", which is what my grandmother used to call her three unmarried sisters. But I prefer "bachelorette". I was 33 when I got married. Takes time to find the right one. :)
Cindy
"bachelorette" - I like it!
I agree "spinster" is a horrible name.
I must admit I dislike all labels that serve to denote someone's "status".

I agree "spinster" is a horrible name.
IMO it should only be applied to those (male or female) who can actually use a spinning wheel!! Only required to spin flax into thread not gold.
If I recall Princess Anne had to designate her occupation as a "spinster" on her marriage license. I wonder if her mother, aunt, etc...had to do the same.
Youre right they shouldnt make family planning plans just to give a middle finger; I just feel this speculation and push for another baby is quite disgusting. Like a child is just a thing that makes the masses drool akin to the announcement of a new ipod.
I think Kate is expecting baby 2 . She maybe only around 6 weeks but I think she is . Great timing he finishes his so. Called gap yr , starts so called job ( which had no openings ) they go live in their country home ( never mind KP ) limited royal duties and limited time on job for Will Kate so called maternity leave never ends . Guess what it will work . Every time they are show with George plus new baby the press Will loved it . Announment right before Malta solo tour ( what is it a day trip close by ) baby around March . They get to have family time while all the other Royals will be out working . Just hope the Queen and Philip can keep the pace and things go well because these two are not ready if willing fir prime time full time

Just guessing but I think she is and no I do not know Jessica Hay
Of course the only reason one would have another child is just to get out of work. <_<
William was 2 and 3 months when Harry was born, so I'm guessing October, 2015. William did say recently, no 2nd baby for the time being. I just don't see how William and Kate would continue to allow so called friends to make their announcements for them, which is why I don't believe the story is true.
I'm sure when there is a 2nd baby announcement our guesses will have been 'way off and inaccurate'.

I think she is pregnant... :sigh:
That would explain a lot actually , but that dress is pretty large so :shrug: idk .
From article
Quote
A discussion of how to advise patients to prepare for pregnancy when they have a personal history of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is important because they will likely have HG again. Seventy-nine per cent report severe nausea and vomiting in second pregnancy. Thirty percent report that the severity of the nausea is the same as their first pregnancy, 26% worse and 44% better than first pregnancy.
This just sucks :no: , I hate nausea (never been pregnant :blush:) but that feeling when your ill , and the fact that something is coming out if your mouth ...eugh :ahhh: im almost in tears when I feel nausea I dont know how women go through 9 months having that sensitivity ... :(
I think she had severe nausea but I have never thought it was HG.
^^ I never believed Kate had HG either. Sometimes in those first three months of pregnancy you literally cannot keep anything down and some smells put you off.
I think that's what happened to Kate and her family panicked (she was staying at Middleton Manor wasn't she?) and they decided that she should spend a couple of days in hospital to be on the safe side. She was probably dehydrated, but that's not HG.
I think it's a bit soon for a second baby; it takes a woman's body two full years to recover from childbirth.
Otoh, It's been said she wants her children close together, and she'll be thirty-three on her next birthday, so perhaps they've decided there's no time like the present?
I hate to be the cynical one here (OK, no I don't) but there is a point to be made that one of Kate's "royal duties" - just like all her predecessors - is to produce heirs and, dare I say it, "spares". A second pregnancy at this point in time doesn't seem unlikely.
It is the only duty she seems to have accomplished...
I think it's been very interesting to follow the royal reporters on Twitter. They all are being extremely careful about how they word chatter about this speculation, and Richard Palmer tweeted that basically, it was within the guidelines to speculate if they didn't know, but once they knew she was pregnant, they couldn't speculate anymore. And, it is against press guidelines to announce a pregnancy if it hasn't hit the 12 week mark (a good idea, in my opinion) unless the Palace okays it (like in Dec 2012).
Based on the way they've been tight-lipped, and the fact we haven't seen Kate in weeks, leads me to believe she is.
Not saying she does not love George but having another baby is her do called duty and it works well in their plans to get away with limited engagements and living in the country . They have second baby that is done and the public and media will think ok another yr or two to be a young family Mission Accomplished . Notice these last few days Will has been busy no Kate since Tennis and bike race . Kate has no engagements until end of July Think press knows already Would be nice ( hope either way all goes well) if baby is a girl . Would be easy I think for the second child if a girl cutting out the whole second rate spare crap to a great degree . Otherwise I have no preference just a healthy baby
It would be nice if, when they have a second, it's a girl. But I do worry about how hard it would be to be a girl growing up under that kind of media scrutiny. Boys definitely get more of a pass -- both on their appearance and on any type of misbehavior (boys will be boys, etc.). I was young when the Clintons were in the White House, but I remember how rough the press was on Chelsea's appearance. I think it could be very, very difficult to be a teenage girl whose father is the Prince of Wales.

Or a teenage girl whose father is King, even worse! (William could be there by then.) Anne's looks and rather gruff manner were criticised when she was in her teens.
I don't think Kate Middleton would raise a rude child, I can't say I think as highly of pompous William...
I'm torn on the pregnancy speculation at this point. I think there are some signs pointing to it, but Kate was at a whisky tasting event less than two months ago and I really don't think she would have done that had she known she was pregnant. So if she is, she would have to be still quite early (maybe two months at the most).
I think, if true, around the last week of February, 2015?? Although I have no idea how this is all calculated? And the earliest you can tell if a woman is pregnant??
Double post auto-merged: July 17, 2014, 03:41:18 PM
I have seen pregnant woman drinking alcohol??
There's some debate over how much alcohol you can safely drink while pregnant. I think most agree a glass of wine now and then won't hurt, though a lot of people prefer to just avoid alcohol altogether. But given the scrutiny Kate is under, I think there's no chance she would publicly have a drink if she knew she was pregnant (and especially not whisky).
Thanks Canuck.
So not pregnant then, as no way Kate would have drank whisky.

I've had friends that dealt with it for nine months. Not actually vomiting but a constant nauseous feeling. My neighbor could only keep down Dr. Pepper for two months.
I was so fortunate that mine only lasted 4 weeks because it was 23 hours a day. I'd get a one hour break. My dad and father-in-law couldn't comprehend what I was feeling so I described it as a hangover that won't go away. That they could understand.
If Kate is pregnant then I hope she has an easier time with the nausea. Princess Charlene looks like she's been dealing with it after viewing her most recent photos. :(

it was the same when Diana had had William. The papers were constantly speculating on when she would have the next baby.
The papers are gonna beat this dead horse until they are right ...
^^^You are absolutely right.
Still, Kate and William can't have another eldest...the heir is already here!
So the second child will probably have an easier time.
Wait till George become 2-3 years old when Kate get pregnant again but Kate not shown her bumps yet wait till confirms from palace and couples will announcement but George get too young have sibling..
Mostly American mothers did chosen get pregnant whether times due under ages kids my cousin Becky got pregnant for second times because her daughter too young have sibling it's hard to handle toddler and newborn baby also plus help grandparents too on toddler but mother need focus on newborn baby also..
Mostly royals mothers chosen wait for more child till around 2-3 or later ages or expecting more child for too young on elder child..
If I'm expecting first child somedays I can wait more child around 2-3 years old not too rush have child under ages need focus on first child it's important..
I'm guaranteed Kate will wait have another baby somedays when George become 2-3 years old not too hurried..
I agree with Sara about 2-3 years for the Golden Couple. I think they really want to enjoy their boy as much as possible, yet have the kids be close in age as they were with their siblings and be done. Age and lifetsyle of PWnK? Number of siblings they come from 2-3?
I think the press should find a new topic really. In their quest to come out with the story first , they keep saying it so they then can say they had the story first. Thing is they are all running with a story that is not true.
