But then again even if she looks huge now for her given due date, each pregnancy is different so who knows.

Most doctors and airlines allow women to fly until their 35th week, unless they have had complications in which they would advise against it earlier. Since there hasn't been any cause to think that the pregnancy has been complicated, I was predicting Victoria was already near her 33rd-34th week. I'll amend my prediction to mid-January

Princess Marie's baby is due on January, two months sooner than Victoria and her baby bump is nowhere big as Victoria's. but well, each pregnancy is diferent as depends on genes, etc... Victoria and Daniel are tall and big people, i bet this baby is gonna be huge one. like with Maxima had with Amalia.
thinner princesses as Letizia and Marie, the baby adjusts to their mother body. (im talking about first kids)

Tall and big? Victoria is 168 cm and very slender. Daniel is 180 cm (very normal to a man) and he isn´t big in anyway..

for me "big" is not the same as "fat", i said big to refer to their body struture. Victoria is not a type of women who is thin, delicate and petite. (in my personal opinion)
and Victoria is taller than 168cm, at least is what the Height of royals topic says.

According to SvenskDam, Victoria is 168 cm, Daniel 180 cm, Madeleine 170 cm, Queen Silvia 165 cm and king Carl Gustaf 179 cm.
Yes, Victoria isn´t petite, but her body structure, or Daniel´s, isn´t heavy to me.

[kathia_sophia]

oh sorry, i thought she was taller^^

[LadyFinn]

Finnish Iltasanomat quotes Aftonbladet:
Daniel told to Aftonbladet, that they don´t know the gender of their baby, that everything has gone well and that it is very exciting for him to be a dad.

SvenskDam writes that even during her pregnancy Victoria is a real health princess who practices pregnancy yoga and right now very much sticks to water and freshly squeezed juice. Victoria prefers tea to coffee in "normal" life also, so she hardly evers drinks coffee.

Right on spot! Everybody thought I was due when I was only on week 25, I was that huge! Nevertheless, I gave a birth to a mediumsized Finnish baby, which means 3,5kg, so even though I was huge the baby was not. I just had so much of amniotic fluid, according to the midwife.

I don't actually care when Victoria is due, whether it's in January or March, the baby will come when it comes and it is a nice surprise to us all!

i do wonder when there will be time for a baby watch thread.

[iceflower]

Such a thread can be created when we get the information about the admission to hospital,
that's how it's been handled so far. Prior to that all other topics are perfectly covered in the
already existing threads.

[Josefine]

I am not sure she will deliver at a hospital i think all children of silvia were homebirths.
i did not mean when a thread will be open i more were thinking how it will be, how swedish media will handle it.
i should have said it in a other way.

[JessRulz]

Victoria was born at Karolinska Hospital, while Carl Philip and Madeleine were born at the Royal Palace and Drottningholm.

Victoria was born in Karolinska Hospital. CP and Madeleine were homebirths.

I look forward to a baby watch thread and the birth of the royal baby. I have been a big British royal watcher and now I add Sweden to my royal watching.

[LadyFinn]

The royal ecstasy and happiness, cute baby pictures and vengeange for the royal family are predicted when Victoria´s and Daniel´s son or daughter will be born sometime in early 2012.
- People are tired of negative writings about the royal family. Instead, they want to follow the sequel of Victoria's and Daniel's love story, says PR expert Martin Lundberg.

I wonder if they the SRF prefers a hospital birth for the Heir to the throne, just in case anything (god forbid) might go array with the birth. Perhaps that could explain why Victoria was born in a hospital, whereas her siblings were home births...Just a thought~

Well, at the day of his (home) birth, Carl-Philipp was the CROWN Prince - and not Victoria. The equal primogeniture law in Sweden officially was changed around nine months after CPs birth, where Victoria finally became Crown Princess.
