Earlier this week it was revealed Kate Middleton has been undergoing hypnotherapy, after a severe bout of morning sickness earlier in her pregnancy.
According to the Duchess's childhood friend Jessica Hay,
Kate still looks at food and feels nauseous,' Hay was quoted by the Evening Standard as telling the magazine. 'She's been plagued with that feeling you have when you've had food poisoning and your stomach's shrunk. Hay continued: 'She finds it very hard to eat a full meal and gets full very quickly.
'The hypnotherapy is taking away any negative thoughts connected with food from the morning sickness, and replacing them with cravings for healthy, nutritious food.'
She added: 'All in all, Catherine's very happy. With so much family around her and William, they're starting to enjoy the pregnancy after such a traumatic start.'
