Kate Middleton's Sickness: Britain’s Senior Midwife To Aid The Duchess With Her Pregnancy
Kate Middleton is apparently still suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum. The Duchess had to pull out again on her recent planned charity visit to the "Clore Art Room" in London because of her pregnancy sickness. This time Prince William has reportedly asked the aid of a senior midwife to aid Kate with her troubling pregnancy.
According to Hello Magazine, the request was given to one of Britain's most senior midwives, Professor Lesley Page. The publication claimed Prince William asked the professor to assist Kate Middleton with her second pregnancy during an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, where the Duke "presented her with a CBE."
Lesley Page supposedly told journalists at the event that since she's a midwife, naturally the topic of Kate Middleton's second pregnancy was brought up by the Prince. They reportedly also talked about the years she has been working as a midwife.
"We talked about me being a midwife for well over 30 years and what's changed," she said.
"And what I'm doing now because I'm president of the Royal College of Midwives, so I'm very busy in that role and I still do hands-on practice," she added.
Lesley Page supposedly claimed that she almost told Prince William that the second pregnancy is usually much easier. Apparently, Kate Middleton's situation poses a different scenario.
Her years of experience could have probably led the Duke of Cambridge to ask her if she "would like to come and help" him and his wife. To which Page supposedly replied, "Yes, of course."
Kate Middleton has been suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum, diagnosed with severe vomiting, since her second pregnancy was announced last Sept. 8. The Duchess had to pull out of several royal engagements and missed out on royal duties. A visit to London's Clore Art Room, a charity that caters to children with behavioural disorders, was supposedly her first royal engagement for October. But in a personally-penned message, Kate Middleton expressed her sincere apology for having to pull out again. The Duchess was "hugely disappointed" to have cancelled according to Daily Mail. Kate Middleton is believed to be ten weeks into her second pregnancy. Yet she is still experiencing the same sickness she had when she was pregnant with Prince George.
