So we are sure that this is for real? I mean if she is about 2-3 weeks early, is there no change of a false alarm like last time with Christian? Can't wait to find out if it's anothre boy

I hope they have a healthy baby without any complications!

Can we really consider Christian early? I mean all the time mothers are told to expect their child on one specific day and then sometimes as the pregnancy develops the due date moves up just a little. I'm just saying that none of us really know everything about Mary's pregnancy so I think it's hard to say she's early she could be right on time.

This is really exciting!

I hope for a healthy baby(girl)!

No, because the press officer of the Court said she was giving birth!

Really? There was a false alarm with Christian I don't remember that for some reason. Or was that when there was some complication reported and then Mary was seen out shopping and everyone then thought it was just a false alarm instead of a complication. I do remember reading about how they weren't sure if she was suffering from a complication or not.

Well, I don't think it's raining in Madrid at the moment, so I doubt the infanta is on her way Still it would be nice though, especially if they are both girls

TV2 has changed their info rapidly the last hour but they started by saying that Mary was admitted and then recaptured data around Christian's birth.
He was born 2 weeks before the official date and I think they said that the labour had taken about 10 hours (quick for a first time). Also that he was born on a Saturday just as this one will probably be.
They have quoted midwives for saying that it is perfectly normal to give birth a few weeks before the official date.

Yay something in English I can read. thanks!

[dbarn67]

Two royal births! how exciting!

[Paty]

OH Great news! All my best wishes for Mary

[Scanorama]

This is a a great news! Hopefully everything will go well for Mary and hopefully a baby girl!

[Aurora810]

I wonder if Fred and Mary know what the baby is or are they going to be surprised like the rest of us.

[LadyK]

OMG Mary's in labor!!!!!! AAAHhhhh! (LadyK cheers, jawdropping) I was expecting to come on here for news on the new infanta!

Well, Mary and Letizia have had a thousand similarities- their engagements, weddings, first pregnancy announcements, birth of their first children, and now, their babies being born. Looks like Mary will beat Leti to this one too!

I just hope that the baby is healthy- isn't it a little premature? Then again, Christian was a premie too, and he's healthy as a horse.

And for the record, I too am hoping for a girl- I can just imagine how adorably Mary would dress her!

They have said they do not know and do not want to know, so it is a surprise. :)
