Pregnant Kate Middleton is “feeling better” after spending her second day hospitalized by severe morning sickness with her prince of a husband by her side, a St James’ Palace spokesman said Tuesday.

Though the royal mom-to-be is recovering well, she still faces up to six more months of misery, the British tabs reported.
The parents of the former Kate Middleton, Michael and Carole, put on a brave face when they emerged from their country mansion. They are reportedly “elated” that Kate is preggers but worried about her condition.
Carole Middleton and Kate’s pert sister, Pippa, were expected to visit the queasy royal later Tuesday.
The Middletons found out Kate was in a family way over the weekend when she began vomiting violently and a worried William drove her home to London.

Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the royals found out later Monday after William and Kate raced to the hospital, where the stricken princess was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, a devastating malady that affects one in 50 expectant mothers and can turn pregnancy into torture.
Citing royal sources, the Daily Mail reported the Duchess of Cambridge was holding her own “but her symptoms of severe vomiting may last for much of her pregnancy.”
Kate, who is 30 and believed to be about 12 weeks pregnant, was expected to remain in the hospital for several more days followed by a “period of rest” at home. She is reportedly on an IV drip to combat her dehydration and taking pills to stop the nausea.
“When this occurs, the simple treatment is to get fluids into them — and usually they feel considerably better,” Dr. Peter Bowen-Simpkins, medical director at London Women’s Clinic, told the BBC.
Easy for doctors to say; they’re not the ones getting sick, HG survivors told The Daily News.
“If Kate’s back in circulation by the second trimester, I’ll be very impressed,” said Lucinda Herbert Flynn of Westchester, who was sick for duration of both her pregnancies.

Carole Middleton leaves her home in Berkshire, England on Tuesday.

“I remember being so weak I would simply lie on the bathroom floor — vomiting seven or eight times per day — even in labor,” the mother of two wrote. “Each time, I was hospitalized for a week and hydrated intravenously.”
Another mother of two, who wished to remain anonymous, wrote that she was laid low by the illness during both her pregnancies and what she “experienced the second time can only be described as hell on earth!”
“Not only was I robbed of any joy in anticipating the arrival of a new life — I was robbed of the joy of more children,” said the 31-year-old mom, who underwent a tubal ligation rather than risk getting pregnant again.
William, 30, is second in line for the throne after his father, Prince Charles. Under new rules, William’s first child — whether a boy or a girl — would be third in line to become monarch.
The baby would be the first grandchild for Charles and the third great-grandchild of Queen Elizabeth.
The intense speculation about when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge might have a child began shortly after they tied the knot on April 29, 2011.
Now oddsmakers are betting that they royals will name their first firstborn John or Charles if it’s a boy, Elizabeth or Diana if it’s a girl.
William’s mother was the late Princess Diana.
