Mette-Marit in the hospital... for real.

[Siepie]

Finally! MM and Haakon must be so glad that the baby finally choose to come out because I think the last days before the due date are really frustrating.
Now we'll just wait.

[Yennie]

Oh, so exiting! Hope everything goes well!

Why would her mother accompany them? If she's in that region, I expect she's rather spending time with Ingrid and Marius.

wasnt MMs mother with her during her last delivery?
I think´I´ve read that...

Was she? I don't remember that. She might've been. It seems strange, though.

EDIT: http://www.vg.no/pub/vgart.hbs?artid=210947 This article from Ingrid Alexandra's birth and the accompanying picture doesn't mention Marit Tjessem at all.

i just thought she might need a moral supports from her family... i don't mean her mother has to be in the same room when she deliver.
sorry if i offend or caused misinterpretation..

[Larzen]

No she was not, I belive she was with Marius at Skaugum, there were pictures of them skiing together later the same day. It lookes VERY cold outside the hospital and there is a little snow and a decent amount of press.

The experts predicts a fast delivery because it is her 3. child.

No offense taken.

On the other hand, I might not be the right person to talk about grandmothers being moral support in the hospital - my maternal grandmother refused to visit me in the hospital when I was born, citing being afraid of hospitals.

Oh, I'd want my mum with me! I think you need all the help you can get from an older woman who's been through it before, and it helps if the woman is your mum.

But, after two kids I suppose she's used to it by now.

Article about the Press
http://pub.tv2.no/nettavisen/side2/k...icle505643.ece

Big parts of the Norwegian press had a sudden awakening this morning when the Palace put out the press release, but there has been runours in the press since last night. At 10 o Clock, only NRK, TV 2, NTB, VG og TV 2 Nettavisen were there, and Se og Hør ofcourse who according to TV 2 has had people there day and night for atleast a week and therefor probably the only one who might have pictures of them arriving. But now there are comming alot of taxis with press to the hospital. The press are allowed to stand in the arrivla area of the hospital so they dont have to stand outside in the cold. Its expected that Haakon will give a press conference. It is not known if Mette-MArit will stay in the hospital or leave right away like last time.

[Smilla]

I get back online after three days of near-pneumonia, and what do I find? Mette-Marit is actually in hospital? I do with she'll do fine and the birth will be over quickly. Good luck, MM!

[BeccaLynn07]

2 hours later and still no news...Good luck to MM, I hope things are going/went well.
