Give her a break, even Madeleine was not small this last time and who says you have to look like you are not pregnant until three months before due date and then only look like you're three months gone.
This unremitting version of body shaming has got to stop. Women, real women, have a normal pregnancy that includes an ever increasing bump, that's life, get over it. Not everyone is built like Catherine and a couple of other well-known celebrities who barely showed at all.
This continual harping on how big Victoria is already (oh she really must be having twins) has got to stop. It is toxic!

I agree 100% this how normal women look. This whole twin thing is just crazy as you say just because she's not model thin doesn't mean twins !! It means she's having a healthy normal pregnancy

When was it announced that Charlene was carrying twins ? I don't follow the princely family of Monaco, but, if I am not mistaken, it wasn't until late in her pregnancy.
I'm just saying that, if Victoria is pregnant with twins, it is not a given that the Royal Court would already have made that information public by now.

The announcement from the Court about this pregnancy said " TRH are expecting their second child."
In Monaco it was less clear : "The birth will be at the end of the year", not clearly saying there was only one baby...

Exactly. The statement from Monaco was very vague from early on "... are very pleased to announce the pregnancy of Princess Charlene... while in french was..."hereux evenement"= joyful event"...
The confirmation of a twins pregnancy came in October.... I would guess the swedish royl court had been more vague in the announcement, in case P. Victoria carried twins... or they would make a straight announcement a la danish royal house.

To all of you who are talking about the big belly of Victoria: Maybe she has a big desire to eat. At my pregnancy I always had the feeling that I must eat all the day and all the night.

Victoria denied today at the visit to Värmland the rumours about twins.
The royal birth is scheduled for early March, and of course the major focus today was on Victoria and the baby belly. What will it be? Even the twins?
Victoria laughed:
- It may look that way, but then I will be very surprised. I have been asked that before, she says then.
But what has Estelle wished for? Prince or princess?
- She in fact wanted a hamster, Victoria laughs.
Daniel laughs too, and says:
- At the risk of it becoming tomorrow's headline.
Victoria says diplomatically:
- I am joking.

Svensk Damtidning asked the Crown Princess, who is pregnant with the Crown Princess Couple's second child, if she was expecting twins:
- Does it look like that?
The Crown Princess replied crisply, with a smile, and continued:
- It would be a big surprise in that case.
Expressen's royal reporter wondered then about if Princess Estelle wishes for a little sister or a little brother:
- She wants most preferably a hamster in fact, responded the crown princess and laughed.

Thanks for the articles.

I also believed in the twins' theory (based on the assumption that Victoria may have got some artificial "help" to get pregnant). However, it looks like her denial was pretty clear.

It's rude to ask her if she is having twins.

There is no "normal". Some women look like Victoria when pregnant, some like Sofia, some like Madeleine, some like Catherine, and so on...
You can't criticize people for commenting on Victoria's shape, then go on and put her on a pedestal and say she's how "normal" pregnant women look when having a "healthy" pregnancy. If a women stays "model thin" during her pregnancy, it doesn't mean she's having an abnormal and unhealthy pregnancy. You're generalizing just like the posters you're frustrated with.
I agree with Mbruno that people were presuming twins because of the IVF assumption. I think it was also a matter of wishful thinking, they want Victoria to have a medium/large family and they're worried she won't be able to get pregnant again. Yeah, the posts are annoying but they come from a place of hope.

The Swedish royal house would not keep possible twins a secret. Would do absolutely nothing for the PR for the royal family.

Goodness I didn't think I put her on a pedestal don't know where that come from. But if you don't like the word normal swap it for average. She looks like the average woman looks IMO

You could tell Victoria was debating the answer.  I suspect she was doing some double and triple thinking in the instant, knowing that if she mentioned any preference it would appear to give the game away. (I think they know the sex of the baby). In many ways it was an impossible question to answer honestly, because any which way answered, it sets up unlooked for possibilities into the future. The hamster answer was just a joke (imo), and with Daniel making a joke of the joke, the newspapers decided to oblige and we have a trifecta (of jokes!)!

I wouldn't be surprised if they had come up with hamster-joke a long tme ago, preparing themselves to the kind of question that those journalists might ask. Such a question was bound to come up at some point.
