I don't get into conspiracy crap. However, there's a lot about this pregnancy that suggests something is not right- and normally, I couldn't care less, but they are going out of their way to help fuel this, unfortunately. My question is this: In a royal family would this be allowed? Is it possible that they are trying to put on a show because really, eventually it will be known, of course. It wouldn't be a secret forever. If they needed a surrogate, why not just have one? What's the big deal? |

Definitely no surrogate. Her face looks fatter daily |

There hasn't been one in weeks, and, notably, she didn't look swollen anywhere. |

Huh? Her face looks very fat. Nothing else on me ever swelled but my face did look fatter. I still wore the same shoes and the same rings. You can’t fake a fat face. |

Post a pic. Not seeing it. |

Plenty of white AND Black women fetishisize mixed babies, as evidenced by all the obnoxious mixed babies Re cute hashtags on Instat. |

I'm the PPP, and you're right. I'm biracial (black/brown) myself and while I've heard comments more from white women, a few black women do it too, especially in the South where I grew up. |

It’s definitely both. My sister and her dh have made beautiful biracial kids. Both sides of the family really fetishized their looks especially before they were born. It really rubbed me the wrong way. Relatives on both sides of the family wanted the children to be light-skinned babies with white features. (I hope he gets his hair, her lips, his nose, her coloring, his eyes) People also went crazy about the idea of having a biracial child with blue eyes. They got big, beautiful brown eyes. |

PP. That's stuff I don't care for either, but we live in a society that prioritizes European features and exoticizes (is that a word?) biracial people with the "right" look. When I was a teen, one girl told me I could "pass," and said it in a way that was clear that she saw this as a positive. My spouse and I got the same comments when I was pregnant ("They're going to have that really curly hair, I love it!" "will they get your blue eyes?" etc.). I know it's not coming from a place of malice, and people usually aren't self-reflective enough enough to really hear what they're saying, so I just rolled with it. |

| I agree with the PPs regarding people’s reactions to biracial children, but just wanted to add that my spouse and I who are both white have completely opposite looks - picture one of us straight blond haired blue eyed and pale skinned, the other darker skin tone brown eyes and curly dark hair. And people constantly comment to us, oh your kids got mom’s curls or dad’s blue eyes or whatever. So in part I think American society admires certain features and people comment (which is creepy) of a child has those features. |

Yes, it is something that is done across the board, but you have to understand that it is especially prevalent for multiracial children, and is especially stinging in that non-white features are fetishized and spoken about as if they were features of a dog (terms like "exotic", etc). Further, a "pretty" multiracial baby is usually one that looks brown, but not too brown. I am part of a multiracial family, and we have three children. One looks white, one looks black, and one looks like a little of both. Guess which one never gets any fawning attention from strangers? |
