Her treatment for hyperemesis gravidarum - more commonly experienced by women carrying twins - led to press speculation about a double birth. | |
But the latest announcement confirms Kate is expecting just one baby. | |
The public announcement of the pregnancy before the usual three-month mark was prompted by the duchess's medical condition. | |
Hyperemesis gravidarum can leave expectant mothers unable to keep food or liquids down. | |
After the duchess spent three days being treated for the condition in King Edward VII's Hospital in central London, she was ordered by doctors to have a period of rest at home at Kensington Palace. | |
She was forced to miss some engagements, but made her first public appearance after the spell in hospital at the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year event. | |
The 31-year-old duchess was last seen in public on Friday, when she and Prince William visited the National Portrait Gallery in central London for the unveiling of her first official portrait. |
