Royal jitters

Having a baby can be nerve-wracking and if your a royal it's no exception. According to US Magazine, The Duchess of Cambridge, or Kate as she is called by many is getting nervous about producing a royal heir.

"Royal baby jitters! Pregnant royal Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge was frank with fellow expectant moms during a visit to London's Action on Addiction's Hope House on Tuesday, February 19," added the report. "In her first official event following her babymoon in Mustique, the 31-year-old royal showcased her growing baby bump in a MaxMara outfit -- and talked about her pregnancy with two recovering women in an art therapy class," added US.

One woman, 28-year-old Natalie, is currently expecting her second child, which is due this July, just like Duchess Kate. "She was saying she had been unwell but is feeling better now and I have been about the same. We were all talking about children," Natalie said of their chat to US. Recovering alcoholic Lisa is a mother of three, and asked Middleton the obvious. "I asked her if she was nervous about having a child and she said 'it would be unnatural if I wasn't. It's just human, isn't it?'" Lisa told reporters of her chat with Prince William's wife at the event.

"I said, 'Congratulations and good luck and I hope it all goes OK.' She smiled. It was that nice she just chatted to us," added US.

Royal Catherine has a lot on her plate. With a full-round or public appearances, morning sickness, and the daunting responsibility of carrying a future monarch to delivery on her shoulders, Catherine has a lot to be nervous about.
