"I asked her if she was nervous about having a child, and she said it would unnatural if she wasn't. It's just human, isn't it?" Lisa, mother of three told The Observer (via People).
Another woman, Natalie – who is also expecting – reportedly spoke with Kate about the complications she's had with her pregnancy.
