Twitter users were, once again, prescient and called the pregnancy before it was announced.
After her fab new 'do, an article said Kate Middleton was pregnant; cause we all know pregnancy = hormone change = wanting a new hair style

Just one question, in the spirit of Twitter: Will they name the baby “hashtag?”
This Twitter user thinks it is cause for a holiday.
If Kate Middleton is pregnant do we get a public holiday?

For months? Stay tuned!
Of course, #Kate, Kate Middleton, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate and other variations are now trending in and out.
The palace could no longer keep it secret, because the duchess is suffering from a severe form of morning sickness.
Kate is in hospital suffering from a severe form of morning sickness known as hyperemesis gravidarum.

And here we go. RT @gordonrayner

Heh. It’s not just morning sickness, though. It can be very serious.
Basic facts about Hyperemesis gravidarum – affects up to 2% of women, could carry on untl birth and Charlotte Bronte died from it. Carry on.

Hyperemesis gravidarum, extreme nasea/vomiting, can lead to dehydration, malnutrition, weight loss. other serious complications #royalbaby

Joan Walsh backtracks on her mocking of Middleton’s hyperemesis gravidarium. She had retweeted this:
Difference between you and royalty: Kate Middleton has morning sickness so….she's in the hospital. http://t.co/LwrE9gfT
— Joe Heim (@JoeHeim) December 3, 2012
@JoeHeim @joanwalsh Hyperemesis is not run-of-the-mill morning sickness.
— Black Lives Matter Jennifer Mendelsohn (@CleverTitleTK) December 3, 2012
I apologize for mocking Kate Middleton's morning sickness. But be forewarned: Not deferential to monarchy. Unfollow if that's a problem.
