Kate Middleton and surrogate mother. The strangest rumors about Kate Middleton's pregnancy. "I look as good as Kate"

Prince William's wife has shocked the public more than once with her appearance on the threshold of the maternity hospital. The main question that worried everyone at these moments: how does she manage to look so good after giving birth?! However, even now: a little more than 7 weeks have passed, and the duchess has already returned to her previous form. After three pregnancies, her figure is perfect, as if Kate Middleton never gave birth.

At a charity polo tournament last weekend, Kate looked incredibly slim, and her belted dress perfectly emphasized her changed figure and thin waist. Not to mention how the Duchess of Cambridge looked in a soft azure dress during the Trooping the Color parade in honor of Queen Elizabeth II's birthday.

The entire public noticed this, leaving Kate Middleton's appearance without comment. Midwife Laura Speiser from the “Women’s Health Clinic” said that some young mothers manage to quickly get back into shape, which depends not only on nutrition and physical activity, but also on good genes.

“Some women can easily return to their pre-pregnancy weight, especially when it is in their genes. If the mother is healthy, and the pregnancy proceeded safely and with a normal BMI, then after childbirth the body, as a rule, quickly gets into shape.”

She also added that the duchess’s rapid recovery is likely due to proper nutrition: “Remove from your diet those foods that the body “requires” after childbirth. While breastfeeding, you especially crave carbohydrates and something tasty - the body “looks” for extra calories. If you can control yourself and opt for healthy snacks and balanced, healthy dinners, then you'll likely lose the weight you've gained faster."

And although Kate Middleton herself does not make any official statements about her figure, it is known that even after the birth of George, in 2013, a famous fitness and health expert worked with her Louise Parker. She developed her own method and has been working with people for over 20 years, helping them change their body. According to the star trainer, a third of her clients are young mothers. Based on her experience, Louise does not recommend that women after childbirth immediately begin to lose weight in any way possible.

At first, the body needs to rest and recover after nine months of such a serious load. Experienced mothers know that every pregnancy takes a toll on the body. Therefore, after giving birth, it is especially important to give yourself the opportunity to rest and try to get enough sleep.

“It's not easy for people who are always in the public eye,” she says. “Yes, they have the resources, a whole support team of nutritionists and personal trainers, but in the end they still have to do this work on themselves.”

Fitness

“Exercise is important, but long, high-intensity training is not necessary. I do not believe in the benefits and effectiveness of grueling workouts after childbirth. Anything that is too aggressive can only aggravate the situation and the mother’s emotional state, says the athlete, who herself suffered from postpartum depression and coped with it by walking. “You need to exercise, but little by little, gradually increasing the pace.”

The most suitable fitness plan for a new mother is cardio (such as walking) and light weight training for the upper body. You can do exercises every day while walking with a stroller: this will not only help strengthen the heart muscle and lose extra pounds, but also give the body the opportunity to gradually “get into mode.”

“Your body should gradually recover from pregnancy. The most important thing is posture. Watch how you sit and walk. The best place to start is by strengthening your upper back and heart,” says Louise Parker, who then recommends a fairly gentle cardio-sculpting method.

“This is a very effective way in which you simultaneously train muscles and burn fat. Instead of regular squats, try doing exercises for your arms, back or neck muscles.”

“Finding time for exercise is never easy,” mother of three Louise Parker knows from personal experience. “But if you strive for this every day, you will be able to gradually get into the routine and exercise 3-4 times a week.”

Kate Middleton herself spends a lot of time with her children in the fresh air, walking, running: she is always on the move. Not to mention the fact that one of the children is always in her arms, so the stress on her arms and back is constant.

Nutrition

Star trainer Louise Parker is sure that a strict diet is strictly contraindicated for young mothers. During the first time after childbirth, the body is recovering from major hormonal changes, so you should not deprive it of nutrients. A balanced diet consisting of healthy and “clean” foods is what helps restore the body even during breastfeeding.

“We completely destroy “white” and “fast” carbohydrates until we reach the goal. These include white bread and pastries, sugar and sweets, as well as carbonated drinks. As healthy breakfast you can choose porridge or regular muesli with bran, adding berries or fruits to them. For lunch- lean meat or chicken with a side dish of legumes or vegetables, and for dinner-steak of meat or fish with a light vegetable salad. As snacks Smoothies, light snacks like hummus with crackers, oatmeal cookies, or slices of fresh vegetables and fruits are great.”

Prince William's wife's diet

In an interview with a culinary magazine, Kensington Palace chef Caroline Robb spoke about the Duchess's favorite dishes. When Prince William’s wife needs to get rid of extra pounds, she switches to a special diet for a while (Meghan Markle, according to rumors, also lost weight on it before the wedding).

Basic principles of Kate's diet:

• There are plenty of salads and greens;
• Replace sweet flour desserts with fruits (for example, watermelon salad);
• There are many vegetables in the form of salads, ceviche, gazpacho;
• Replace cow's milk with almond milk;
• Replace meat protein with spirulina;
• Monitor portion sizes;
• Allow yourself “goodies” during the day, but in limited quantities;
• Drink plenty of smoothies and organic juices.

The Duchess also simply loves Indian vegetarian curry of potatoes, black lentils, spinach and cauliflower (she ate it both during pregnancy and after).

Kate Middleton's favorite green smoothie

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• ½ cup chopped kale
• ½ cup chopped romaine lettuce
• 1 tbsp. spoon spirulina
• ¼ cup coriander
• 1 ½ water

How to cook:

Mix all ingredients in a blender. Serve garnished with a few blueberries.

Louise Parker says that on the way to the body of their dreams, many people become literally obsessed with numbers and count every gram, which is not very beneficial for the body and psyche:

“Just make sure you do your best. Even if today it was just a long walk and a relaxing bath, everything you do has a cumulative effect.”

Tell us, how did you manage to get in shape after giving birth?

A fresh and energetic look, curls blowing in the wind after styling, flawless makeup, high heels, a radiant smile and happiness in the eyes - are we now thinking about women who have just left the spa? But no – we’re talking about Kate Middleton, who just a couple of hours ago gave birth to her third child!

The incredible “trick” that the Duchess of Cambridge repeated for the third time in a row made women all over the world believe in the chosenness of Prince William’s wife.

But indeed, even a day after a natural birth, many new mothers see everything as if in a fog, and the reflection in the mirror shows them bloodless skin, swelling and an exhausted appearance. And we still don’t remember the caesarean section! But Kate, it seems, the problems of earthly women are completely unknown...

Well, judge for yourself - on June 22, 2013, she gave birth to her first child, Prince George, in ten and a half hours, and the very next day she was discharged home with perfect hair and makeup. Okay, many mothers still somehow believed that this was possible and was even considered the norm for European maternity hospitals. But…

On the morning of May 2, 2015, in just two and a half hours, the Duchess gave birth to Princess Charlotte, and after another five hours, with an equally blooming appearance, in full dress and in high heels, she cheerfully waved her hand to all fans of the royal family on the porch of St. Mary's Hospital, presenting the newborn baby! Do you also have doubts?

Well, when for the third time everything went without a hitch for Prince William’s wife, and at 11:01 a.m. on April 24, 2018, 36-year-old Kate Middleton gave birth to her third baby, and seven hours later she walked down the steps of the hospital after being discharged in stiletto heels and showing off her radiant Look, there are no more doubts - this is some kind of mystery! As you understand, the whole world has taken on the task of solving it.

Avocado, seaweed smoothie, swimming, yoga and hypnobirthing

You can talk as much as you like about good genes, but Kate was helped not to gain excess weight during her three pregnancies by a special diet, which included traditional English oatmeal, lean meat and the main trump card - avocado.

It is known that every day the Duchess prepared special cocktails for herself from seaweed, cabbage and spinach.

From the first days until the birth of her babies, Prince William's wife regularly swam in the Buckingham Palace pool and did yoga with a personal trainer!

Well, the birth of the royal heirs to the duchess took place naturally and without epidural anesthesia. She replaced it with the “hypnobirthing” technique, in which pain relief occurs through self-hypnosis and relaxation.

Here comes Royal Baby No. 3!

By the way, Gisele Bündchen and Angelina Jolie will confirm that this method is the best!

Kate Middleton also prepared her first “outing” after the birth of her second son in advance - she liked a red dress with a white lace collar from Jenny Packham and 10-cm heels (!) from Gianvito Rossi. The Duchess's favorite hairdresser, Amanda Cook, created an impeccable hairstyle that was not disturbed even by the wind, and Arabella Preston's makeup emphasized the fresh and rested look.

But, as you understand, the rest of the planet’s mothers, who were about to give birth to a baby, could not come to terms with “their own imperfections” and today the Network is simply flooded with photographs with funny captions!

“A few hours after giving birth, I looked like a deflated balloon with jaundice!”

“Nooo, Kate, not to the same extent! A woman who has just given birth cannot wear transparent tights, heels and earrings!”

“Even 14 hours after giving birth, no force will force me to get out of bed and go down the stairs!”

“And this is me 18 hours after giving birth. And I look like someone who has risen from her bed!”

On April 23, Kate Middleton and Prince William's third child was born. The Internet is perplexed as to how the Duchess of Cambridge was able to leave the clinic 7 hours after giving birth.

The other day a joyful event happened that the whole of Great Britain was waiting for. 36-year-old Kate Middleton and 35-year-old Prince William became parents for the third time. A boy weighing 3 kilograms 800 grams was born at St. Mary's Clinic in London. Just (!) 7 hours after the birth, the couple walked out onto the porch of the hospital with their newborn.

Most Internet users are perplexed what the secret of a mother of many children is, because usually the female body needs time to recover. The smiling duchess, posing for photographers, did not look tired or exhausted. Many people got the impression that she popped into the clinic for a minute, gave birth in between, and then immediately moved on.

British tabloids claim that Middleton resorted to so-called hypnobirthing. This technique, which can reduce pain, is now very popular among celebrities. They say that Angelina Jolie used this unique method of preparing expectant mothers, eliminating fears and negative thoughts. But even if we believe that Kate did not feel any pain at all, and take into account the fact that this was not her first birth, but her third, the question of whether the doctors were in a hurry remained open.

We turned to an obstetrician-gynecologist and asked whether doctors would allow such an early discharge from the maternity hospital in the Russian Federation. And in general, isn’t it dangerous for women in labor to get out of bed so quickly?

Head of the hospital of the CDC MEDSI on Belorusskaya Elena Buntova told us that if the birth took place without complications, then the woman is allowed to get up after 2 hours. “Movement plays a big role in the body’s recovery process, so after a natural birth without complications, the mother is not only allowed, but also recommended to get up within a few hours after delivery,” the expert said. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about Middleton, who went to the palace by car. Let's remember that next to Kate there were not only 20 doctors, but also her personal stylist who was responsible for her appearance - and everything will fall into place.

The doctor also emphasized that only a specialist can decide when a woman in labor can leave the clinic. “The duration of a patient’s stay in the maternity hospital is determined by the attending physician. This depends on many reasons (the general condition of the woman, concomitant pathologies, the course of the postpartum period and the condition of the birth canal),” commented Buntova.

“Provided that there are no complications and everything is in order with the woman’s health, discharge is carried out no earlier than 3-4 days after birth. During this period, doctors, based on examination and ultrasound data, must make sure that the uterus is contracting correctly, that there are no clots or bleeding, that there is no fever or problems with lactation,” the obstetrician-gynecologist concluded.

Accordingly, if the baby of the Duchess of Cambridge was born in our country, he and his mother would hardly be at home on the same day. However, something tells us that the team of the best specialists with whom Kate gave birth will simply continue to monitor her condition in the palace.

While Britain cannot get enough of the birth of the princess, mothers from Russia cannot calm down - the duchess was so beautiful, as if she had never given birth at all. The heated discussion online has been going on for several days. Women in Russia participate so actively in it, expressing a variety of opinions, that the British Mirror even published an article on this matter. In one of the Facebook groups, a lot of things were also said about whether a woman can look so good a few hours after giving birth. We have collected the most interesting statements about whether Kate gave birth herself, whether an elite clinic can have such an impact on a woman’s appearance, whether her husband is to blame for this, whether a newborn baby can look so good and what a woman wants immediately after giving birth.

It is worth remembering that Kate gave birth herself. This argument for natural childbirth will be used for a long time by doctors who do not welcome birth by cesarean section. There is no need to rush mom anywhere, nature will do everything itself. And really look beautiful and blooming. In Europe, it is common practice for mother and baby to be discharged the day after giving birth. The main thing is that mother and child feel good.

Here's what Russian mothers say about the birth of the Duchess of Cambridge, according to the Mirror:

Kate never gave birth herself - “She wore a fake belly throughout her pregnancy! She's just another actress from the palace! She has nothing maternal in her eyes. She didn’t give birth to her first child herself.”

Kate must have wanted to sleep - “The only thing a woman wants right after giving birth is to lie down and sleep. They are playing a fairy tale for us here, and someone also believes in it.”

Middleton gave birth a few days ago - “Five hours after giving birth, a woman cannot stand and walk so confidently. She probably gave birth a few days ago. And her baby looks suspiciously good. Newborns are never so pink and pretty. She definitely gave birth three days ago!”

Here are more quotes about “beautiful Kate” from a Facebook group for moms:

My son didn’t recognize me after the birth of his second child, he had changed so much. At least Kate.

I was wonderful! If you could film me up to my stomach.

If you were pretty before giving birth, then nature won’t change anything much. The main thing is to add a little makeup and tidy up your hair.

My first birth was such that I didn’t go near the mirror. And after the second baby she was good!

That day in London it was 11 degrees, they showed us some false photos.

These are not people, but some kind of robots...

In other photos you can see how Kate's eyebrows were drawn... The stylists did a good job on her.

She's already wearing heels... I couldn't put on my shoes for a year!

I feel sorry for Kate. The whole world is looking at her through a magnifying glass!

Middleton is great, he’s still smiling after giving birth. I actually wanted to eat someone...

Girls, they didn’t give birth in Russia! Otherwise I wouldn’t smile like that.

Kate was rowing, she’s a strong girl! Just think, childbirth.

She and her husband are lucky, she has a good one.

My children were also not red after birth, depending on others.

Before Kate Middleton had time to give birth to her third child, a few hours later she appeared in public in a beautiful attire. This, of course, pleased the paparazzi, who had already prepared to guard the royal couple around the clock. However, mothers from all over the world were perplexed, and they are understandable.

Firstly, Kate deprived herself and her child of the magical first hours, when the realization of what happened comes, and secondly, her beautiful appearance became a slap in the face to other mothers who know exactly what a woman should look like immediately after giving birth. In general, the duchess arrived, and we collected these “slaps” in one collection.

Women were shocked by Kate Middleton's appearance and even called her the real Wonder Woman.

They didn’t fully believe that after giving birth they could recover so quickly, so they decided to show themselves after a difficult process.

“Expectation is reality.”

“I look as beautiful as Kate did after giving birth.”

“When Kate decided to steal your style and look just as perfect after giving birth.”

“I had a very difficult labor that lasted more than a day. Well, where are my stylist, designer and makeup artist?”

“This is how great I look after having my baby. I want to say thank you to the hospital staff who helped me give birth and put me in order.”

“Me and the Duchess after birth: almost no differences.”

Some even said that they would dream of looking just as great at least a few years after giving birth.

But no matter how Kate looks, we congratulate her on the birth of her third child and wish them good health and strength!

The boy was born on April 23 at St. Mary's Hospital in London. He weighs 3.83 kilograms and feels good. According to local media, Prince William was present at the birth and then returned for his older children, George and Charlotte, whom he brought to the hospital to see Kate and his younger brother.

Kensington Palace announced the birth of the prince on its Twitter page, as well as in the traditional way: a herald in a bright suit announced the news at the door of the maternity ward. A special proclamation was also issued.

A certificate from a medical institution indicating the time of the birth of the child was delivered to Queen Elizabeth II. The document was then displayed in front of Buckingham Palace.

The birth of another heir to the royal family was marked by an artillery salute and the appearance of the inscription “It’s a boy!” on the London TV Tower and with national flags raised at full flight.

Prince William's second son will be named Prince of Cambridge and will be fifth in line to the British throne.

Prince William's newborn baby has been named Louis Arthur Charles.

The child was named after his grandfather, Prince Charles of Wales, and Admiral Louis Mountbatten, uncle and mentor of Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, husband of Elizabeth II.

Subjects can simply call the boy His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge, the palace noted.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their son Louis Arthur Charles.
