"As the pregnancy is in its very early stages, Her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period of rest thereafter."
St James's Palace would not say when the royal couple became aware of the pregnancy only saying "recently".
It is understood that the pregnancy has not passed the 12-week point and the announcement was prompted by the Duchess's medical condition.
For women with hyperemesis gravidarum their vomiting can be so severe they cannot keep food or liquid down.
Reacting on Twitter, Prime Minister David Cameron wrote: "I'm delighted by the news that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting a baby. They will make wonderful parents."
