This royal is getting candid about parenthood. Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, opened up about her pregnancies and motherhood journey in a new episode on the "Happy Mum, Happy Baby" podcast, which dropped on Saturday, Feb. 15.In the nearly 35-minute conversation, the former Kate Middleton spoke to host Giovanna Fletcher about a range of topics, including parenting guilt, difficulties during pregnancy, why she did hypnobirthing and more.While Middleton has come to realize, "it's not totally my responsibility to do everything," she admitted that she "absolutely" experiences mom guilt "all the time." "I think anyone who doesn't, as a mother, is actually lying," she said with a laugh.Through talking to other mothers, midwives, and even scientists, Middleton — who's the mother to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis — has learned a ton, including how a mother's emotional well-being, not just her physical health, can impact a baby's development."What I've learned over the last few years, it's so fascinating," the 38-year-old said. "And I definitely would have done things differently, even during my pregnancy, than I would've done now knowing the importance of the early years."That emphasis on the early years is the focus of Middleton's U.K.-wide survey called "5 Big Questions on the Under Fives," which she promoted on the podcast. It's an anonymous survey which she hopes will start a larger conversation about parenting challenges to find solutions and ensure a better future for the next generation.
