Baby for Zara and Mike

[scooter]

Which is perfectly fine. I rode through my seventh month. I had to tell people I was pregnant because she didnt pop until I stood down from riding. One of my best friends won the big Grand Prix at Dublin in her 5th month. She said the baby was kicking for home the whole jump off!

During Baby Cambridge christening, Zara will be heavily pregnant by then, I'm really excited to see her progress during this months until the actual birth.

I agree with you that it is perfectly OK for a healthy woman to continue to ride well into her pregnancy. I am sure her doctors have advised her on this. I was shocked to read on another board the shaming that is going on against Zara. Posters were actually saying she was being irresponsible and that by continuing to ride she was showing that she was not happy about being pregnant and was hoping for a miscarriage. One male poster said if she were his wife he would forbid her to get on a horse!

Did I read this correctly:

"Zara Phillips, an Olympic silver medallist in eventing, is expected to keep riding until closer to her due date next year. Her mother Princess Anne rode right up until six weeks before the birth of her daughter."

Wow, I didn't know Princess Anne continued to ride up until 6 weeks before Zara's birth.

god luck trying to keep these gals out of the saddle for any length of time...this kid's is going to ride before it walks!

I know a pregnant woman who rode horse (and not a nice little walk) the last day before she gave birth to a healthy baby.
Pregnancy is not a sickness when everything goes fine.

Zara could get into a car accident or fall down the stairs, or do any number of things over the next few months that would potentially be as harmful to the pregnancy as falling from a horse. And, for an experienced rider like she is, the odds of a car accident or a fall down the stairs are probably much greater.

I'm sure at some point people will start to suggest pregnant women not be allowed in cars or in multi level houses.

Yeah even years and years ago doctors said if it was something you already did prior to pregnancy it was ok to continue doing it while pregnant. Just not the time to take up a new higher risk sport etc.

She's due around New Year, it's unlikely we'll get any kind of "update".

[Lumutqueen]

I'm wondering if she's being induced or they know something we don't;

Royal Central ‏@RoyalCentral 43m
Interest is mounting in the imminent birth of Zara Phillips’ first child. @Daybreak are outside the Gloucester hospital where she’ll be soon

Royal Central ‏@RoyalCentral 40m
Whilst the child will have no royal title, it will be 16th in the line of succession to the throne & become The Queen’s 4th great-grandchild

So is she in labour? I knew that the baby would have come these days

[marine2109]

You're right Marty91charmed this is a small translation error!

[Marty91charmed]

How do we know she's in labour? No one is talking about it :-(

[Lumutqueen]

We don't know she is in labour, the english twitter comments just mentioned a television "news" report was waiting at the hospital for Zara to arrive.

Apparently according to daybreak, the show that referred to Zara as one of Diana's children, she's due to give birth today at Gloucester hospital.

[Marty91charmed]

Ah ok! :-(
