It is a very serious form of the common condition morning sickness with symptoms such as vomiting and dehydration. She will remain there for a few days.

“The nation will be extremely happy with this news. It’s what everybody has been waiting for.”
Emma Williams, chairman of the Stroud Valleys branch of the National Childbirth Trust which offers support to parents, said: "I do feel very sorry for the Duchess of Cambridge. She has a serious condition which requires medical advice."

“Why do women insist on making such a song and dance about pregnancy and labour. Honestly, when Mrs Hfrrrrr gave birth I had to stand up 15 hours and had nothing to eat. But did I get any sympathy oh no! It was all 'emergency caesarian this' and 'massive blood loss' that.”

“zalapompadoo - It sounds like you have lost the plot my little friend. Can you confirm WHERE I have been spiteful? I have made two statements:
1/ "Some of the Royals CHOOSE to marry into the position" - Which some Royals have, hence fact.
2/ "...then their families use the connection to further themselves." - this has happened in the past, hence fact.
Which is the spiteful comment?
As for your statement " if you cant say anything nice then dont bother..." This is a cut and paste from one of your very own comments "scum that's all i can and be published" - Now what were you saying about if you cant say anything nice then don't bother?
As for the comments from gallopingbear, he has got some interesting points but some points can be easily challenged.
Finally your comment "this cuple have done you no harm yet you come put spiteful nasty comments" (Excuse the poor grammar, this is a simple cut and paste of zalapompadoo previous comment). Did I specifically aim my comments at them? No, I didn't, but somehow, you did. You linked what you perceived as spiteful comments at this Royal couple; shame on you.”

“Dr_Hfrrrr and gunnersaurus - I watched an interview (BBC Breakfast this morning) with a mother who had suffered from this extreme type of morning sickness, vomiting 16 time a day or more, who had to be admitted to hospital to be drip-fed because she was so dehydrated. Think about how you would feel if you were that sick. Would you be able to go to work? I don't think so.”
