It was bad enough being in labour knowing my mother was sitting by her phone waiting for news.

Must be horrible knowing that the world's press are camped on the hospital doorstep speculation how many centimeters dilated you are...

That's history for you, can't change it but you can make it.
By the time the baby arrives, Kate won't care if there is a BBC camera on the midwife's shoulder!!!
That thought did cross my mind. Still at least she doesn't have to suffer the indignity of historical Royal mothers who had to have WITNESSES there!!!

That is true BM.

In ye olde days did Royal newlyweds not have witnesses on the wedding night to prove that a) the bride was a virgin and b) the marriage was consummated?
I really can't help myself, is that what Di meant when she said there were 3 people in her marriage?

Anyhoo, if Cate has gone to hospital in the EARLY stages of labour, then everyone is in for a very long wait.

She's not the first woman to have given birth anyway.
Must be horrible knowing that the world's press are camped on the hospital doorstep speculation how many centimeters dilated you are

rather than sitting in the coffee room, wondering how many cm dilated you are,
or the relatives waiting room ?.......
.

Yeah just to up the standard,

Joynson Hicks apparently was the last to witness (int he next room) the last Royal Birth.... of her maj....

the hacks are saying the last case was 1936 but I cant think who that would have been.
Camping out?
It was Princess Alexandra, Peter.
Princess Alexandra christmas day 1936.
2sp I think the need for witnesses was more to ensure the baby wasn't smuggled in. James II was suspected of smuggling in a baby in a warming pan to ensure he had a Catholic child. He probably hadn't, but he was thrown out of the country anyway.
