Born To Be A Mom!

Morning sickness aside, Kate’s a dab hand at this baby business!

POOR Kate. No sooner had she and her newborn vacated the steps outside the Lindo Wing of London’s St Mary’s Hospital than people started speculating about when she would produce the next Cambridge tot.

The duchess wants to emulate the queen and have four kids, some sources say. She believes in pairs, another claims – George and Charlotte are already an item so she “feels it’s her duty to produce a sibling for little Prince Louis too”.

Kate and William are keen to have a second daughter, yet another says. “They’ve seen what an improving and calming influence Charlotte has been on George, who was a bit of a tearaway in the early days. So they know the benefit a second daughter might bring."

But just hang on a second there, people – the Duchess of Cambridge has barely had time to put on her feeding bra and bond with the new prince. All in good time!

Still, you can’t blame the world for having expectations – Kate is just so good at having kids.

Apart from her history of hyperemesis gravidarum – the medical term for extreme morning sickness we’re all so familiar with now – she embraces pregnancy with a passion and seems to go through childbirth with enviable ease.

KATE’S BIRTHING SECRETS

Short hospital visits, no painkillers, no harrowing labour and speedy recoveries – if anyone has nailed the textbook birth, it’s the Duchess of Cambridge.

According to sources her secret is “hypnobirthing” – a natural delivery process she reportedly adopted with both George (4) and Charlotte (2).

Based on the work of an Englishdoctor in the ’30s, it involves relaxation and breathing techniques to manage labour pains and “visualise” the baby’s birth.
