Kate Middleton ‘feeling better’ as she remains in the hospital to be treated for severe morning sickness during pregnancy8437938

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 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.
