Yea, I think anything starting at 36 weeks is pretty normal and expected. And according to this math, she’s already at 38 weeks.

38 weeks is term. 36 weeks is still a little on the early side.

I think between 38 and 42 weeks is optimal. So not too much longer, though I’m sure Meghan is getting to the point where she’s just ready to have that baby.

Depends on the country. In my country 40 weeks is full term, as the medics start counting from the first day of the last menstruation. In countries that start counting from the (supposed) day of ovulation, it is 38 weeks.
I don't know how they count in the UK.

Kate went on maternity leave with Louis on the 22nd of March. He was born 23rd of April.

Meghan didn't go on maternity leave per sae but last event was 14th of March at ehuchbthey said there would be no more ergo given they waited till after the wedding to announce pregnancy which was good grace. I would say she is actually due next week. When baby comes is another matter though.

Wasn't George late? I seem to remember William saying something about G keeping them waiting.

Nobody knows. Because really they never say. She went on maternity 13th of June. He was born 23rd of July. With Charlotte she went on leave 27th of March and she was born 2nd of May.

I think it is fair to say they go on leave about a month, five weeks before.

I think Meghan is in her 38th week as well based off her late Apr/early May timeframe. So really at this point she can give birth at any time but I still think likely after the 20th.

If she gives birth on the 21st, I’m gonna need to burn some sage.

HA...that was my prediction jacqui! The 21st!

HA! The "pearl clutching" that would occur? Selfishly, I hope she gives birth in the next two weeks, before the 29th. I have a 2 week Spring Break/Vacation, and I would be thrilled to talk nothing but Royal Baby during that time.

I'm still on either the 19th or 23rd.

Meghan only said January 14th she was six months pregnant. That and she announced when Eugenie got married, is all we have to go by.

A due date of April 22 would have had her 12 1/2 weeks pregnant or so when Eugenie married (would have hit 14 weeks October 22). I lean to think she is due 20-22 April, and may go few days late.

Well the back end of this month is pretty cluttered as far as dates go. HM's bday is the 21st, Louis is the 23rd, Cambridge's anniversary is the 29th, and Charlotte is May 2.

Also the London Maraton is the 28th and William will be travelling to NZ at the end of the month as well.

So yeah. LOL

An interesting connection that no one has brought up:

We know Meghan and the Queen's mum share the same birthday. But is it also known that William was baptised/christened the very same day that Meghan was born?

Just thought I would insert a bit of trivia here.

I might need that sage now regardless of what day the baby is born on.

HAha...I know. Maybe I shouldn't have brought it up. Just thought it was a great trivia question.

Maybe the baby will be born on its great-great-grandparents wedding anniversary! This would also be my birthday.

Refresh my memory, what date is this? Are you referring to George V and Mary Teck?

[SLV]

George VI and Queen Mothers' I think.

Aha..., thank you. Because I thought George V and Mary Teck were married in July.
