Pippa Middletonhas confirmed she isexpecting her first childwith husbandJames Matthews!
Six weeks after reports first surfaced of her pregnancy,Kate Middleton’s younger sister opened up about her first trimester in her latest column for the U.K. supermarket monthlyWaitrose Kitchenmagazine.
In the column, the mom-to-be, 34, revealed that she did not battle severe pregnancy sickness, orHyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), unlike Princess Kate.
In September 2017, Kensington Palace announced that Kate was pregnant with her third child — and noted that she was once again battling HG, similar to when she was carryingPrince George, who turns 5 on July 22, andPrincess Charlotte, now 3.
Though Kate wasunable to carry out her royal dutiesduring the first months of her pregnancies, sister Pippa was able to continue her everyday schedule, though she admitted she had to make some slight changes.
“When I learned the happy news that I was pregnant, I realized I needed to adjust my four to five-day-a-week [fitness] routine,” she wrote, noting that she kept her pregnancy a secret from her gym instructor until the “riskier months” were over.

“This being my first pregnancy, I had so many questions I felt were still unanswered,” she wrote. “I wanted to know things like, would I strain if I served in tennis, are strokes of swimming safe, can I still do a normal yoga class if I avoided certain positions? Could I still work my abs?”
