NEWS: Kensington Palace Just Announced Due Date for Prince William and Duchess Kate’s Baby
Prince William and Duchess Kate’s second child, Princess Charlotte, was born in May 2015. It wasn’t long after her birth that Kate already had baby fever again.
According to a US Weekly insider, she “wanted another almost since giving birth.” On Sept. 4, we learned the much-wanted third royal baby was coming along.
The press release stated, “Their royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their third child. The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news.”
There was plenty of delight surrounding the announcement, but it was issued sooner than Kate would have preferred. A US Weekly source said that she would have rather waited until after she was 12 weeks pregnant to announce.
However, Kate had a planned engagement at the Hornsey Road Children’s Centre that she could no longer attend. She couldn’t make it because of the pregnancy complication hyperemesis gravidarum.
They wanted to be transparent about the reason for her absence. Therefore, the third pregnancy was announced along with the cancellation of that engagement.
“She has such a rotten time during these early months but she’s out of the woods now and doing well. I think when you see it referred to as extreme morning sickness you don’t quite understand how debilitating it can be, but it truly is a grueling condition and can make it impossible to do anything else,” E! News reported on a source sharing about Kate.
As Kate had been feeling better, another exciting announcement regarding baby number three was released. We’ve all been wondering when this baby would make his or her arrival!
Kensington Palace tweeted on Oct. 17 the baby’s due date. The statement read, “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to confirm they are expecting a baby in April 2018.”
The due month of April was given without a specific date. Kate doesn’t need the stress of having the whole world countdown to the exact due day or keep track of whether or not the baby is “overdue.”
Prince George has a birthday in July, and Princess Charlotte has a May birthday. As long as this baby is born in April, he or she shall have their own birthday month!

Viral: New Mom Has All 4 Limbs Amputated Days After Giving Birth. Now She’s Suing Hospital
The lives of Lindsey Hubley and her fiancé Mike Sampson changed drastically after the birth of their son. Surely, a baby’s entrance into the world is life-changing for all parents, isn’t it?
On March 2, Hubley gained the life-altering experience of getting to meet baby Myles for the first time. Unfortunately, she also had another life-changing experience day later that would involve much loss than gain.
On March 4, IWK Health Centre discharged the new mom and baby. The bliss of taking a newborn baby home didn’t last long.
Sharp abdominal pain struck Hubley. It became severe enough that Emergency Health Services was called the morning after she was discharged.
Hubley, Sampson, and Myles arrived back at the hospital around 9:00 a.m. No examination to determine the source of the abdominal pain was performed on Hubley.
Doctors told her she had constipation. The family left the hospital and went home with treatment for Hubley’s supposed constipation.
She wouldn’t be at home for long. She ended up at Queen Elizabeth II Emergency with a much graver diagnosis.
A necrotizing soft tissue infection or “flesh-eating bacteria” was the diagnosis. It only grew worse when it was determined that Hubley was in secondary septic shock and required emergency surgery followed by an induced coma.
Days after giving birth, this new mother suffered greatly. One of the most severe outcomes of the infection was the need to amputate all four of her limbs
A press release was issued on Oct. 11 detailed Hubley’s decision to file a lawsuit against IWK Health Centre and the physicians. According to it, Attorney Raymond Wagner spoke on behalf of Hubley by saying, “She is truly a survivor, and remarkably has maintained a positive and determined attitude along her long road to recovery, all while juggling the struggles, and joys, of a newborn.”
In the release, Hubley said she hoped that making her story public might “help prevent even one person from going through what I have” and “improve gaps in health care.” No new mother should have to handle addition new stresses beyond adjusting to her new baby, especially not adjusting to becoming a quadruple amputee.
