PIPPA Middleton has confirmed the worst kept secret — she’s having a baby. But things are different from her sister Kate Middleton’s pregnancies.

BRITAIN’S most famous little sister, Pippa Middleton, confirmed what’s been rumoured for weeks: She’s pregnant.

The 34-year-old socialite officially spilt the beans about her coming bundle of joy in an article for British supermarket publication Waitrose Kitchen, writing that all has gone well in her first trimester and she hasn’t suffered any morning sickness.

Pippa’s older sister Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, suffered from extreme morning sickness, otherwise known as hyperemesis gravidarum while pregnant.

The condition was so severe for the royal that she has had to be hospitalised for all three of her pregnancies.

“I was lucky to pass the 12-week scan without suffering from morning sickness,” wrote Pippa. “That meant I was able to carry on as normal.”

British tabs have reporting for weeks that she’s expecting her first child with hubby James Matthews.

Pippa said she’s doing her best to have the healthiest pregnancy possible.

“I’m fanatical about sport and have looked at loads of books and websites on exercise during pregnancy but have been disappointed by the limited technical information on what you can and can’t do,” she penned. “And this being my first pregnancy, I had so many questions I felt were still unanswered.”
