Article by VG about it: http://www.vg.no/pub/vgart.hbs?artid=110424

There won't be any information from the Palace during the birth - after the birth. When a child is born - it will be reported on the webpage.

Mediehåndtering ved H.K.H. Kronprinsessens opphold på Rikshospitalet

Det Kongelige Hoff har informasjonsansvaret ved Hennes Kongelige Høyhet Kronprinsessens opphold på Rikshospitalet, og vil forestå mediehåndteringen. Sykehuset bistår med den praktiske tilretteleggingen av mediehåndteringen, men henviser alle spørsmål som kan knyttes til fødselen til Det Kongelige Hoff.

Det vil bli satt av et eget område på Rikshospitalet for pressen i sykehusets hovedvestibyle. Under fødselen vil det ikke bli gitt noe informasjon fra Hoffets side.

Så raskt som mulig etter Kronprinsessens nedkomst, varsles den nærmeste familie, Stortingets President og Statsminister, om at det er født en arving til Kronen. Deretter varsles Høyesterettsjustitiarius, Forsvaret og Kongelige i Europa.

Når Deres Majesteter Kongen og Dronningen, Stortingets President, Statsminister og Hennes Kongelige Høyhet Kronprinsessens nærmeste familie er varslet, sendes det ut en offisiell kunngjøring fra Det Kongelige Hoff på Kongehusets hjemmeside www.kongehuset.no

Happy to have the pregnancy over with but not too sure about being happy about the labor!

Finally the baby will arrive! Well, if the last one took 4 hrs, this labor should be half over since it's 10am Norway time.

How the media will be handled while HRH the Crown Princess stays at the National Hospital.


The Royal Court has the responsibility of information during HRH the Crown Princess' stay at the national hospital and will take care of the Media. The hospital will help with the practical arrangements, but all questions about the birth are directed to the royal court.

The press will get an area of their own in the lobby. No information will be given from the court during the birth.

As quickly as possible after the baby is born, the closest family, President of the Storting and the Prime Minister will be told. After that the Supreme justice, the Military and royals in Europe.

When TM the King and Queen, the presiden of the Storting, the PM and HRH the Crown Princess' closest family have been told, an official statement will be sent out from The Royal Court at the Palace's home page. www.kongehuset.no

i don't know how accurate this photo, but it looks like Haakon's car outside rikshospitalet



and an overview of Skaugum at this time



both from NRK

 

[BeccaLynn07]

Ohh...this is exciting! Hope she's ok. (Probably/hopefully in labor and no problems)

Hehee...I'm gonna be up a little longer now.

 

[hippiesheep]

It's a good thing that tomorrow is saturday and I don't have to get up early

 

[BeccaLynn07]

Isn't it past 10:30 in Norway? I'm curious to hear what the extra news transmission on TV2 had to say.

Nothing new. Mette-Marit is in the hospital. We'll be told after something has happened, and Crown Prince Haakon will call a press conference to give his view on it all.

 

[purple_platinum]

i hope it will be a quick one... is Haakon the only one accompanying MM in the hospital? no MM's mother?

 

[norwegianne]

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

Thanks for the information, norwegianne.

Well, at least it's actually confirmed she's finally in the hospital.

 

[Siepie]

Finally!

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!

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.

 

[purple_platinum]

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.

 

[Layla1971]

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.

That's what I was thinking too...

Article about the Press
http://pub.tv2.no/nettavisen/side2/kongelig/article505643.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.
