For a woman 5 months + into her pregnancy Maxima's belly does not look to big IMO !
 
All women are different. She looks bigger then most women I've seen pregnant at that time, but she also was slender pre-pregnancy. Perhaps that's why she looks so much bigger now?
 
maybe they are expecting twins..SOme pregnant women have big bellys for maybe they sleep or eat a lot. I don't know on the case of Maxima. I would really hope she would rest because its like she always attend functions which can be dangerous to her health..

Yes, his grandfather is a real power house. He must be in his 90s now.

Ahhh, memories. That's what fathers-to-be do is plant tulips to bloom for the birth of their first child. A nice tradition practiced in my family.

Kriselt es in der jungen Ehe?
Schöne Máxima, warum
lachst du nicht mehr?

Den Haag – Arme, schöne Máxima! Kriselt es in der Ehe des holländischen Kronprinzenpaares?

Die schwangere Prinzessin wirkt seit Wochen furchtbar unglücklich...

Máximas sonst so strahlende Augen sind müde, ihr Mund verkniffen, die
Stirn in Falten gelegt.

Auch ihr Mann, Kronprinz Willem-Alexander (36), wirkt bedrückt. Sieht so ein junges Paar aus, das in Kürze ihr erstes Baby erwartet?
Prinzessin Máxima (32) ist im 7. Monat schwanger, und ihr scheint es nicht gut zu gehen. Die geplante Russlandreise zur 300-Jahr-Feier nach St. Petersburg musste Hals über Kopf abgesagt werden. Alexander reiste allein.

Offizielle Erklärung des Königshauses: „Mutter und Kind geht es gut, aber die Prinzessin hat sich in den letzten Tagen etwas übernommen.”

Máxima wurde strikte Bettruhe verordnet.
Das soll nur die halbe Wahrheit sein. Angeblich kriselt es in der jungen Ehe. Grund: Prinzessin Máxima fühlt sich einsam in ihrer Villa „De Eikenhorst“, hat schreckliches Heimweh. Täglich telefoniert sie stundenlang auf Spanisch mit Familie und Freunden – und Willem-Alexander ist stinksauer, weil er kein Wort versteht.

Andere Vorwürfe lauten, der Prinzessin sei ihre Beliebtheit beim Volk zu Kopf gestiegen. Insider beschreiben sie als immer arroganter, sagen, sie würde sich schon so zickig benehmen wie Prinzessin Diana († 36)

Does anyone have video or sound clips of Princess Maxima giving a speech in dutch?
 
De baby van Prins Willem-Alexander en Prinses Máxima komt eerder dan verwacht!! Prinses Máxima is verkeerd uitgerekend en de geboorte word dus niet in januari maar nog voor de jaarwisseling verwacht. Dat maakte de RVD vandaag rond 18.00 uur bekend!!
Dit was niet het enigste nieuws, want ook maakten zij bekend dat het beter gaat met de Prinses. Máxima hoeft geen tabletten te slikken en ook niet naar het ziekenhuis omdat zij zich goed aan haar rust houd!!

COMMUNIQUE VAN DE RIJKSVOORLICHTINGSDIENST

De Rijksvoorlichtingsdienst deelt mede:

Bij een recente reguliere zwangerschapscontrole van Hare Koninklijke
Hoogheid Prinses Máxima der Nederlanden is opnieuw vastgesteld dat moeder
en kind het goed maken. De voorgeschreven rust, waarover op 20 september
jongstleden mededeling werd gedaan, werkt goed. Opname in het ziekenhuis
bleek niet nodig en medicijnen behoefden niet te worden voorgeschreven.
Werd, uitgaande van de gebruikelijke maximale duur van de zwangerschap
van 40 plus 2 weken, bij de officiële aankondiging van de zwangerschap
meegedeeld dat de geboorte zou plaatsvinden vóór medio januari 2004,
thans verwachten de behandelende artsen van de Prinses dat de geboorte
van het kind nog voor de jaarwisseling zal plaatsvinden.

RVD, 27.10.2003, 17.30 uur.

I'm sorry- translation, please? I'm guessing it's about a baby..wow..whee...look at Maxima go!-? I'm confused. What happened? Did she have the baby already? I don't speak Dutch. :blush:

Wasn't Maxima's baby due in February?

Moosey ... I just learned that Maxima's baby is due between Christmas and New Year's.
 
Wow, that's around the time Sophie's baby's due. Cool. A Christmas baby...neat. I was kinda' wondering why she looked so big compared to Mette-Marit, who was supposedly due before her.
