i have read somewhere about the longest pregnancy - a year long.
In 1945, for example, Beulah Hunter who was 25 at the time gave birth after a pregnancy lasting 375 days, which is slightly over a year and almost 100 days more than the average human gestational period. The length of the pregnancy was confirmed by examining her pregnancy test and menstrual cycle. Doctors feel that the long pregnancy was because the child developed extremely slowly in the womb when compared to the average child but despite this, Hunter’s daughter, named Penny Diana was healthy and normal at birth.
Maybe this baby Cambridge is also a bit slow developer?
I never thought we'd get into May.....but, it would be nice if said baby came on my birthday today, or tomorrow on my son's birthday. We could carry the celebrations on into the weekend!
Seriously though, Catherine has to be miserable at this point. I really hope this is over for her soon. Those of you that remember being 9 months and over and counting.... the sleepless nights trying to get comfortable, huffing and puffing because it's hard to get a good deep breath, the crankiness, having to pee every 5 minutes, and not being able to eat more than a bite every few hours because your tummy has been pushed so far up. I really feel for her, bless her heart.
At this point I predict she wil go into labour on the 4th... (it is full moon). Only in case of problems with the baby doctors are going to induce earlier... So, I guess we all have nothing to see for the next couple of days
Well many women deliver on the full moon day... An the day George was born it was full moon too... So I strongly believe in this "tales"It would really be something if she had her baby on the full moon. I'd have a laugh over that. Imagine, there might be something to the old Scots-Irish tale after all! I'd like to believe so.
Never been pregnant so forgive the potentially Silly question, but depending on how far over her due date she is, can't she request to be induced?
Tomorrow is the start of the Tour de Yorkshire so that would be a fantastic day to be born!

Kate Middleton Labor Update: Duchess Of Cambridge Spotted Leaving Kensington Palace As Royal Baby Wait Continues
Article
Shopping, swimming, visiting, she's very active.If she left Kensington Palace at 9.30 this morning I'm sure we would have been told by now that she was in labour! Probably nipping out to swim again or to visit a friend.
Shopping, swimming, visiting, she's very active.
Is there any chance of Kate being admitted to the hospital without anyone noticing?
Frankly I hope that is exactly how it happens. The DoC is quietly admitted, gives birth and then goes home to recuperate without anyone being the wiser.
The couple then authorizes St. James Palace to make the announcement, releases a set of photos and thanks everyone for their good wishes and support.
I am sorry but I find it borderline cruel to subject a pregnant woman-even a Royal one-to this. Running the gamut of press and curiosity seekers/well-wishers, undergoing the ordeal of labor and childbirth, then being expected to appear agreeable and rested before the eyes of the world as you exit the hospital 24-48 hours later with the infant in your arms ??
Agreed.
There is something to be said for the old days when royal women gave birth in privacy behind palace walls and simply announced the birth afterwards!
Perhaps the date was sometime in May all along? This hullaballoo is just to throw off everyone, so there is "ho-hum" level of interest once the baby is born.
Just a thought
