Twin Prince and Princess for Frederik & Mary: January 8, 2011

[kathl29]

If it had been a C-section, I think the births would have been much closer than 30 minutes apart. Congratulations to Mary and Fred! Their family has suddenly doubled in size.

I agree - the only way I think a c-section would be involved with that gap is if the first was natural and the 2nd was not coming out quickly enough and they did a c-section to remove the 2nd but this would be unlikely.

 

[principessa]

I am wondering how long it will last, to get the announcement at the website.

I am very happy, that the twins are healthy. Good luck to them and their parents and siblings.

 

[Muhler]

Both twins have, unsurprisingly, dark hair.

Isabella and Christian have not yet been told.

Mary, and the twins, were due to Mary's age, been very carefully monitored throughout the pregnancy.

Congrats to the Family!

I wish I could see a video of Fred's press conference, but I'm not finding a link.

 

[Madame Royale]

I do not think they would wait 30 minutes to deliver the second baby if it was a
c-section. They would deliver ASAP.

Quite right dee. Void my comment re a possible c section...lol.

 

[Archduchess Zelia]

Aww. A boy & a girl. It was extremely fast, she came in at 7:00 am & gave birth at 10:30 am that is quite impressive.
I love how Frederik joked about calling the boy Elvis!

Surely a thought though if she had a section. lol

 

[Archduchess Zelia]

Christian & Isabella are with their Granddad John Donaldson

This was very unique to 'experience' this birth via this thread. Unexpected. A happy day - a boy and a girl. Very sweet. A lot of work for Mary - well done!

 

[UserDane]

Just wonderfuld news

Congratulations to the couple. Good for Mary that the births apparently were natural.

Phew... what a Saturday morning. And all their children born on Saturdays. We should have spotted the pattern

 

[Muhler]

The maternity team is talking now.

Boy at 10.30. Girl at 10.56.

Both children are healthy and have a healthy weight.

Both scored fine on the scales.

 

[Lady Claire]

A bot and a girl!
I'm happy for them!

Didn't they once say they wanted a big family, I think it was in an interview before or just as they got married.

 

[PrincessJenni]

Great news, and I guessed boy & girl at this forum, at the same moment they announced the babies were born
Congratulations to Mary and Frederik!
It was very nice to follow the birth live with all of you

It was her third birth, so it doesn't amaze me.

CONGRATS!

And now we have to wait for the baptism to hear their names!

 

[Shelo]

Boy weigh 2.644 grammes and measure 47 cm.

Girl weigh 2.554 grammes and measure 46 cm.

For those of us in North America, here is a translation:

The prince weighs 5 pounds 13 oz and measures 18.5 inches

The princess weighs 5 pounds 10 oz and measures 18.1 inches

Very healthy sizes for twins!

 

[Patra]

As a mother of twin boy/girl, I'm so thrilled for the Royal Family! Their birth was the highlight of my life, as I'm sure it will be too for Frederik & Mary...

Are there any press release video links in English? Would love to view that!
