Pippa Middleton confirms she’s pregnant with first child

After months of speculations, Pippa Matthews (née Middleton) has confirmed she’s expecting her first child with husband of one year, James Matthews.

The Duchess of Cambridge's sister announced the news in a regular column she writes for Waitrose magazine.

Titled "Exercising During Pregnancy," Pippa reveals in the article the "joys of the first trimester and the challenges she faces in adjusting her exercise regime to be as healthy as possible during this exciting time."

She writes: "I've noticed my body change but through exercise I feel it's being strengthened.”

The 34-year-old also said she’s been lucky not to feel any morning sickness, unlike her sister Kate, who suffered from severe morning sickness during all three of her pregnancies.

"I was lucky to pass the 12-week scan without suffering from morning sickness. That meant I was able to carry on as normal,” the mum-to-be said.

A source told The Sun that Kate "could not have been more delighted" with the exciting news.

"When Pippa found out she was pregnant, she was obviously thrilled and utterly overjoyed," a friend told the publication.

A due date hasn't been officially confirmed, but we can likely expect little Baby Matthews in October.
