It’s safe to say that Kate Middleton has become one of the most beloved members of the Royal Family. As a vital senior working member and a loving mother-of-three, she and Prince William are doing their best to raise their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, as normally as possible.

Kate went through a lot during her pregnancies, facing some challenging times. She revealed that she had a “rotten sickness” during her pregnancy with Prince George, and the same was true after she became pregnant with Princess Charlotte.

But that’s not all. When William and Kate were considering having a third child, they were warned, like many others, that it might not be a good idea. Luckily, the future king and queen didn’t listen, and Prince Louis was born.

Just hours after Prince George’s birth, he made his first public appearance in front of a large crowd outside the Lindo Wing in London. His parents were naturally overjoyed, but it was a stressful experience for Kate Middleton, giving birth to both a future king and her first child. Speaking on the podcast Happy Mum, Happy Baby, she shared that leaving the hospital was “terrifying.”

Kate explained that she decided to follow in the footsteps of her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, and pose on the hospital steps with her little bundle of joy. She felt it was important to share that joy and appreciation with the public.

Despite the overwhelming public support, Kate Middleton had mixed emotions. Being a new parent, coupled with the uncertainty of the future, made leaving the hospital a daunting experience. Kate shared that she stayed in the hospital overnight, but she was eager to get back home and get back to normalcy. Being in the hospital reminded her of her sickness, so she wanted to leave as soon as possible.

During her pregnancies, Kate faced struggles like many other mothers. She was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, acute morning sickness, with all three of her children. In fact, she had to cancel a royal tour because of her diagnosis.

During a visit to the Orchards Centre in Kent, Kate Middleton opened up about her experience with acute morning sickness. She remembered feeling sick and being unable to eat properly during her pregnancies. However, she marveled at the body’s ability to take all the goodness and grow new life.

She also mentioned that labor felt like an event with an ending, which she quite liked as it marked the end of feeling unwell during pregnancy. She acknowledged that every pregnancy and birth is different and not necessarily the same for everyone.

When Prince Louis was born, Kate Middleton faced similar challenges. She spoke openly about her morning sickness and how it affected not only her but also the people around her. Yet, before Prince Louis was born, William and Kate were warned about having a third child. The idea of sustainability and equity was raised, urging them to reconsider.

Despite the challenges and warnings, Kate Middleton remains a devoted mother who connects with other parents through her relatability. She understands that no matter how much you prepare, the experience of becoming a mother is always a shock to the system. She shares her own experiences with new parents, including how she and William chose the names for their children.

Kate Middleton continues to be an inspiration as she navigates the joys and challenges of motherhood while fulfilling her royal duties. Her dedication to her family and the public is truly remarkable.
