Ladies, I am not even sure I should be comenting on this pregnancy issue. but with vast experience as mine, I have six children out of five pregnancies, I can assure you that something is definitely wrong with Letizia's pregnancy.
You were obviously very fortunate through all five of your pregnancies to not have experienced too much exhaustion, nausea, dizziness, and other symptoms beyond your first trimester with each of your pregnancies.
However, this does not make your experiences the norm by which every woman's pregnancy is measured against.

I like her, but I cannot hide the fact that the rummors about her tubes being tide are too strong to avoid.
Whether you like her or not is irreleveant. It isn't even necessary to qualify that you like her or not.
Do you have evidence of that she's had her tubes tied? Have you seen the medical reports of this? Were you in the room when the procedure was done? Were you the doctor who performed the procedure? Please provide it. As far as I am aware, and which you said so yourself, they are only
rumours. There were also rumours that Letizia was pregnant last July, last October, last December, and earlier this January
but they all turned out to be rumours, too. (I also heard the rumour that Letizia is having twins, or if you believe some other tabloids, she is have sextuplets.

When the Princes announched her pregnancy they manetined they wanted to wait for the three month crucial period. Pregnancies are divided by trimesters or at least in the US they are. The first three months are the most horible for any woman that is preganant never mind a first timer. So since the princess already is three monhts pregnant, it means she already pased those three months of heavy nausea and morning sickness. She should be on her fourth month now, the begining of the second trimester which is ussualy the best part of any pregnancy.
As many have stated already, no pregnancy is the same. No pregnancy is the same even for the same woman. Women, while built of the same body parts, are not cookie cutters of each other. You are not Letizia and Letizia is not me and I am not Mary and Mary is not Mathilde.
Being more sick and nauseous and exhausted the first stage of your pregnancy and feeling better the second trimester is
only a suggested and very generalized guideline or a 'stereotype' of what you can expect. It does not encompass everything that a woman may experience during her first trimester, nor do all women experience all of the expected symptoms. They symptoms of a pregnancy are not like a checklist that you can check mark everything you are feeling or "achieving" like one marks a report card.
Being pregnant and pregnancy is not about timing and making sure that your symptoms are in tune with everybody else's symptoms. We are not talking about the flight schedule at a busy airport. Honolulu at 12:15, Chicago at 1:20, Hong Kong at 1:36, Oslo at 2:00. Pregnancy is very much about listening to your own body and letting it decide how you feel, whether you need more sleep, more vitamins, or if you can go for that 5 mile hike.

Could it be what has been said underground about her sister?
What is being said underground about her sister?
And what does underground mean? Are people talking about Telma in the subway system? Are the rats talking about her in the sewers?

Following thier schedule for the first three months of her pregnancy, not one day she stopped her engagements. Now that is public, she started to get sicker and can't make visits. I honestly ask my self what is wrong with this picture.
So she's missed a few engagements. What's the big deal? Mette-Marit missed several too but no one is whispering about her tubes being tied or the things being said about her "underground." It's impressive that during her first trimester she didn't miss any. And considering her schedule, I would say that she's entitled to miss an engagement or two. Many women miss a couple of days of work here and there during the course of their pregnancy. Letizia is no different, royal or not.

I don't know, and I am not one to judge. I just wish that everything goes well and that she is healthy, but I can't avoid to see too many abnormalities with her behavior and those of her suroundings.
It seems to me that you already have judged her. According to you, the rumours are apparently true that she had her tubes tied, and that something is obviously wrong with her because when the calendar flipped from her the last day of her first trimester to the first day of her second trimester she wasn't POOF! magically swell and perky again and back at her busy schedule of one or two engagements a day, averaging about 5-6 engagements a week. And if you can't "avoid seeing too many abnormalities with her behvaiour" then isn't that a judgement?
P.S. Have you seen her in person since she became pregnant that you can see that there are "abnormalities" in her behaviour? Or are you just basing these perceptions of "abnormalities" on pictures that have been posted?
