The whole world is waiting (not so) patiently for the birth of Prince William and wife Kate Middleton’s second child, and it seems that even the Duchess herself is getting impatient about her baby’s arrival.
After reportedly passing her due date, the Duchess of Cambridge will allegedly be induced if the baby is not born within the next couple of days.
Consultant obstetrician and spokesman for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Pat O’Brien told The Mirror: “It’s down to the individual consultant as to when it’s appropriate to induce labour.
"But because it’s such a safe procedure, particularly with women who have given birth before, they tend to be pretty relaxed about inducing any time after the due date if the mother is getting fed up."
After being induced, it could take the Duchess up to two more weeks to go into labour. Most women, however, give birth within a few days of being induced.
The due date of the baby has been kept secret by the royal family, but it was widely reported that the new prince or princess was due to be born on Saturday 25th.
Bookies are reportedly favouring April 29th as the new royal baby’s birthdate.
