I have heard...

...for what it's worth, from an electrician who was working at Windsor Castle, that MM had her baby yesterday and it's a boy.
I pooh-poohed the news but he said that he overheard a footman being told by a woman in the room next to one where he was working.
He said Harry being at the Marathon must have been to put people off the scent as the couple said publicly that they would not make any announcement until several days after the birth.
It remains to be seen whether he's telling the truth...hmm

In my first pregnancy I went from a size 12 to a 14 and weighed 9stone 10 lbs when I went in to hospital to give bith.
" If you could see me now" as the song goes.

No one could tell i was pregnant in my first pregnancy until i got to 8 months,, don;t know where the baby was hiding ,he weighed 7lbs 13 oz

blondenana Fri 03-May-19 16:13:55

Just read that a private ambukance was seen going into windsor with police escort, and pink baby things seen in car

blondenana Fri 03-May-19 16:15:31

My last pregnancy was twins, and i weighed under 9 stone, all bump, at the front, went down to 6stone after the birth

With my first daughter the doctor did the usual tummy pressing and said ‘ you haven’t got a baby there you have a rabbit, but you have another month to go. She was born two days later , a month early 7lbs 4ozs.

Harry has cancelled his Amsterdam trip.

I went zooming up from 8 stone to 11 stone when expecting DD1. I too was compared to a double decker bus, or a house end, and rude things about expecting triplets were shouted out in the street. grin She was a perfectly normal 7lb 13oz, but I nearly flooded out the delivery suite when my waters broke.

Nowhere near as dramatic a weight gain with the others.

Callistemon Fri 03-May-19 17:33:49

I zoomed up to 11.75 stone shock with DC1 - but nowhere near as much as that with the others.
In fact, I put on the least with the last one.

annodomini Fri 03-May-19 17:36:02

I went up to over 13 stone with DS2, but came rapidly down to 11 stone while he was in SCBU for nine days.

There has been such a hoo ha about the supposed secrecy etc. I think they will announce it more or less as soon as it's born. If she has a planned caeserian I think it will be in the middle of the night, they will get her home and then announce.

Urmstongran Fri 03-May-19 21:32:38

There is something odd going on here, that much is apparent. The Queen seems to be letting these shenanigans continue whilst every other royal baby was born following safety precautions and traditions. Baby arrived, was seen in due course, and named.

It's fifty days since Meghan holed up in Toad Hall during which we've had every possible rumour going: the baby's born, it's well overdue, there's a surrogate involved, it's twins, the baby is unwell, the surrogate has changed her mind...on and on.

I hope the baby is healthy but the Sussexes are deliberately playing games. I am fed up with it all and hope they don't have any more children - we don't need a repeat of this.

Update ,in the Independants .on the royal birth, says bookies have suspended bets among rumours that the baby has been born,

Gonegirl Fri 03-May-19 22:22:50

That's a bit unfair Urmstrongran. grin If they want to do it quietly at home, away from the press and the public, why shouldn't they? Not as if the baby will be next in line or anything.

Gonegirl Fri 03-May-19 22:24:19

Not their fault social meedja has had a ball with it.

Anniebach Fri 03-May-19 22:54:33

The press and public are not present at a royal birth so they have no cause to hid from them. The press cannot get into
Windsor Castle grounds .

I think they are enjoying the attention , they are getting far more than William and Kate, it was announced Kate was in labour, she went into the hospital through a back entrance,
They came out with their babies, stood for a few minutes then drive off. Megan and Harry are playing the press and the public

kittylester Fri 03-May-19 23:01:04

I'm with you annie.

mcem Fri 03-May-19 23:06:06

Precisely annie.
Teasers, trailers, hype. Much like ramping up interest in a new film ahead of its release.
Or almost like an actress taking part in the publicity in the run-up to a Hollywood release??

maryeliza54 Fri 03-May-19 23:10:51

And I’m with ab, kl and mcem on this as well. Utterly childish and pathetic attention seeking. This is all going to end in tears one day??

gillybob Fri 03-May-19 23:14:53

Maybe their bestie George is directing the whole thing ?

Do I even care ?

annodomini Fri 03-May-19 23:16:40

In a few weeks you can probably see it all in Hello Magazine.

blondenana Fri 03-May-19 23:28:49

I am sure if Harry had married anyone else this wouldn;t be going on, i think he is besotted and will do whatever Meghan wants,and i agree withmaryeliza54,i think it will all end in tears one day,sad to say
Now there is discussions apparently about should the baby be allowed dual nationality!

maryeliza54 Fri 03-May-19 23:42:06

They better be careful re dual nationality - BJ gave his up in 2016 (it is said) to avoid the problem of double taxation.

I agree with you Maryelizea54!

Beckett Sat 04-May-19 06:54:09

and if there were daily bulletins about her condition everyone would be accusing her of attention seeking and saying she isn't the only one to have a baby

Anniebach Sat 04-May-19 08:34:00

Why should there be daily bulletins ?

Bets on that they are avidly reading the papers every day and enjoying all the publicity,

Catty I know but I was amused watching Kate and Harry attending the Westminster Abbey Anzac Day service, they didn’t arrive together , Kate walked into the Abbey and Harry walked past her to get to the usual line up first,
Then the line up to walk down the Abbey, Kate accompanied by the Bishops and Harry walking behind her.

It was so obvious, - know you place in the pecking order Harry.
