The Duchess of Cambridge plans to give birth naturally and may even have her mother and sister at her side when she goes into labour, it emerged last night.
Kate, 31, who is expecting her first baby in a month's time, will give birth in the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington West London, where Prince William was born in 1982.
Kate is particularly keen to have the support of her family around her because father-to-be William, also 31, may be on duty in North Wales, where he is still working as a Search and Rescue pilot at RAF Valley on Anglesey, when the baby arrives.

William is said to be determined to make it to the delivery suite 'by hook or by crook', following in the footsteps of his own father who broke royal tradition to be with his wife Princess Diana for the birth of both their children.
It is understood that contingency plans have been put in place with other hospitals, such as the Royal Berkshire in Reading, in case the duchess goes into labour when visiting her parents.
Palace sources have made it clear that the birth will not be made public until the Queen and senior royals have been informed. Sources insisted that, contrary to much speculation, the couple had chosen not to find out the sex of their baby beforehand.
It is also hoped that William will make a short statement on the steps of the hospital. A royal spokesman said: 'While it is a deeply personal and private event, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge realise this is a time of national celebration and that there will be vast interest in the baby.'

【新闻快讯】
英国王室官员日前表示，王妃并没有选择剖腹产，而是将于7月中旬在伦敦圣玛丽医院以顺产的方式分娩。据悉，威廉夫妇至今仍不知道胎儿的性别。据英国媒体6月20日报道，凯特将在圣玛丽医院生产，她计划住在林多（Lindo）院区的私人病房。1982年6月21日，威廉王子就是在这里出生的。
有消息人士透露，凯特生产时威廉王子可能在北威尔士执行任务，因此凯特希望自己的母亲和妹妹能陪在身边。现年31岁的威廉王子是英国皇家空军基地的营救飞行员。不过威廉表示，他决定无论如何都会回来陪妻子生产，就像自己的父亲当年陪伴戴安娜王妃生产一样。
此外，王室工作人员还披露，威廉夫妇并没有提前想办法获知胎儿的性别。威廉王子将在凯特生产后安排两周的育婴假，之后返回工作岗位，凯特出院的时间将视她的身体状况决定，目前尚未决定凯特与婴儿出院后将在哪里休养。
白金汉宫一名官员表示：“威廉夫妇意识到那将是一个举国欢庆的时刻，很多人都想共同分享这份喜悦。王位继承人的诞生是非常重要的时刻，因此欢庆这一历史性的重大时刻是非常值得的！” |
