Middleton confirmed her pregnancy in a June column for the U.K. supermarket monthlyWaitrose Kitchenmagazine. The then-expectant mom revealed that she did not battle severe pregnancy sickness, orHyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), unlike Princess Kate.
“I was lucky to pass the 12-week scan without suffering from morning sickness. That meant I was able to carry on as normal,” she wrote.
She stayed active throughout her pregnancy anddocumented her fitness regime in her ongoing column.

At thestart of her third trimester, Middleton shared that swimming had become part of her routine.
“From personal experience, I’d confidently say I find it has been the most enjoyable and rewarding form of exercise since I found out I was expecting,” she shared. “It’s comforting to know that it’s safe throughout pregnancy, and you don’t need to adapt and change too much (unlike most other sports). It’s so good for you that you could swim every day – as long as you don’t overexert yourself – right up until the end of the third trimester.”
In her final column, she revealed that she hadturned to meditation to help her in the late stages of her pregnancy.
“I was skeptical at first, but after practicing this discipline for the past month I have noticed a huge difference in my mental wellbeing and sense of clarity,” she wrote. “It’s a good idea to take some wellbeing time for mummy-to-be now and, most importantly, for the future.”
News of Pippa’s pregnancy was first reported just days before sister Kate was admitted to St. Mary’s Hospital in London in theearly stages of laborwithPrince Louison April 23.
