Kate Middleton: 'Hate' Tweets On Pregnancy And Morning Sickness News Multiplies
Apparently, not everyone is a fan of the royal couple Kate Middleton and Prince William. The media has been all over Kate recently ever since the palace confirmed her second pregnancy on Sept. 8. However, some are not please to always be reminded on Twitter about the Duchess pregnancy and her morning sickness.
The Internet was abuzz with excitement after Clarence House confirmed Kate Middleton's second baby on Twitter.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their second child
— Clarence House (@ClarenceHouse) September 8, 2014
Congratulations seemed to be in order following the announcement. From common folks to celebrities, people pool in their best wishes for the royal couple on Twitter. Even Prime Minister Harper considered the news "exciting."
On behalf of all Cdns, @LaureenHarper & I congratulate the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge on this very exciting announcement. @BritishMonarchy — Stephen Harper (@pmharper) September 8, 2014
However, aside from the pregnancy, Clarence House also revealed in an official statement that Kate Middleton is also sick. The Duchess of Cambridge is once again suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe morning sickness that, according to California's City News, affects "0.5 to two per cent of pregnant women."
Being said, Kate Middleton's sickness should reportedly not be considered as hot topic. Likewise, news of her pregnancy is said to be so overrated already that people are venting out their annoyance on Twitter.
However, a report from Fatima Syed of Huffington Post claimed people should expect to hear more Kate Middleton news in the duration of her pregnancy. It would be nine months of media coverage from her maternity wardrobe, baby bump, to her morning sickness.
But Syed also reasoned out why during those nine months people should care less on anything related to the Duchess' second baby. Case in point, Kate Middleton is just another pregnant woman. She allegedly wants nothing more than to have a safe and successful pregnancy.
However, being in the royal family has its perks. As with celebrities, Syed claims people tend to show more interests or "likes" over reports or photos of famous stars and their pregnancies. But few reportedly take little time to read on news relating to sufferings (such as miscarriage) experienced by regular, non A-lister pregnant women.
"Where are the "Likes" and comments for the hundreds of pregnant women and new mothers in developing nations, who are also searching for support, encouragement and empathy after a life-changing experience?" Fatima Syed wrote on her article entitled "We Should Care Less About Kate Middleton's Second Pregnancy."
Apparently, Syed is not alone in sharing her views regarding Kate Middleton's baby no. 2. Other people, men and women alike, took to Twitter to express that a lot more is going on in the world, more important happenings deserving to be called news than the Duchess' second pregnancy and her morning sickness.
.@PzFeed and I'm already sick of hearing about it. I wish people would obsess over true heroes that deserve it not blue blood royalty.

.@TIME Woman gets pregnant. Again. Big deal. Let's give them the privacy they crave and have a total news blackout. Forever. — Secret Ledger (@secret_ledger) September 8, 2014
Why is Kate Middleton's morning sickness main news? Yes she's pregnant, wonderful but do we really need to know that she's throwing up?
