[Ariel]

There is a great expectation! I hope everything goes well. Best wishes for Letizia and the new prince/ss

The press is hysterical. Yesterday they chased the gynaecologist for the street. Some journalists go from last week in front of the clinic. Another day a journalist commented that the Infanta Pilar had come to the doctor, and the whole press was revolutionized on having seen her there.
It of the safety it is normal, every day there is more pressure on the clinic and they have to have it controlled.

Approximately half of the ground floor, reformed recently, and that counts on deprived garden of the surroundings of the own clinic, already is reserved for the real family. Although in the clinic the habitual clients continue being attended with all normality, the maternity patients have been moved in the last hours to other plants, fundamentally first, to be able to attend Doña Letizia at any time. In spite of the evident safety measures normality in the clinic is absolute except for the clear measures of control.

[xicamaluca]

Everything seems to say that yes I also anxious and can't wait so see Felipe´s happy face talking with the press

But if this is only romours and if the baby wait a few more days to born, the spanish reports will have a breakdown because all the waiting They´re completly crazy right now!

It's funny to read the speculations and all the hysteric of the press. But anywhere it's understandably, this is an unique event for all Spaniards and all others, too We surely have to wait only a few days, maybe a week or 1 1/2.
The longer the baby is in the belly the better, for this reason I think she might not the baby have for the beginning of next week... But nobody can say for sure.

The only problem is that I won't be online at all this weekend... (Can the baby wait until Monday??? )

Well, acording to the press, few days ago, the birth was programed for Oct 31, by c section So, who knows

 

[kbowlin]

I don't think she will go much longer because she is so small and they probably don't want the baby to get to big if she is going to have it naturally.

Me too! We have in Poland All Saints Day on Monday and Tuesday so I will probably go somewhere with parents for 4 days! And do you remember this pool to vote for the baby's date of birth? I matched 1th november! Hello, little boy/girl, could you PLEASE stay a bit longer in your mummy's bumb?

 

[ladybelline]

I have the same "presence" problems.... I'm leaving tomorrow and won't be back until Tuesday evening!!!!
If it could be tonight...

 

[lula]

The journalists also have the same problem with the bridge of All the Saints, they do not know if they will have to work or no.

From Hola: http://www.hola.com/abonados/casasreales/2005/10/27/letizia-novedades1/

We're all on the edge of our seats. Attentive to Doña Letizia's state and impacientes to rip off the calendar the number of hours left to meet the firstborn of the Princess of Asturias, that spends his last weeks or days - maybe hours, inside its mother's womb. Thus, while the capricious moment of the birth doesn't arrive, we're living in a sea of bets, voting and predictions of all kind regarding the date of birth, the gender and the name of the baby.

"Not even the doctors know it"

In the final line of the pregnancy of the Princess, the news about the arrival of the new member of the royal family and everything related to it has invaded the the media, which have given motives to the popular curiosity with a great range of versions. And, since the false alarm of the past 18th, that forced the Princess to Rúber Clinic in an emergency because of contractions, at the request of her gynecologist, doctor Recasens, to control her state by means of the monitorization procedure, has deeply set the sensation that the birth is near. Just around the corner.

According to the official version, the nature is the one on command and, although the Princess' due date is set to the middle of November, the birth could take place at any time. Thus, using his sense of humor, prince Felipe commented to the journalists during the reception offered in the Real Palace in the occasion of the National Day that the birth could be on the first week of November, or second, perhaps third and why not in the fourth. "Not even the doctors know it", the King said this past Tuesday, in a conversation with the journalists at the end of the exercise of maneuvers of the Unit of Defense of Antiaircraft artillery.

The speculations on the matter have been varied. Some rumors say that, unless nature doesn't advance the process, the birth can be induced on October 31st; others say that the Princess could be receiving intravenous medication to delay the birth. Hypothesis, the latter, that various publications have rejected, because this kind of treatment only applies to pregnancies below the 33 weeks. And, since Doña Letizia, who has gained around the ten kilos until this moment, has entered 37ª week of pregnancy and, therefore it wouldn't be possible to speak about a premature birth, because the baby already is "upon maturity". Be sooner or later, is the same. Everything is ready and prepared at this point in the Rúber clinic.

As far as the sex of the baby is concerned, although Zarzuela has insisted on the statement "the Princes didn't want to know the sex of their child until it is born", and in this case doctor Recasens is the only person who could reveal the secret, there's a general feeling that firstborn of the Princes of Asturias will be a boy. At the moment, what is clear is that, if it's a boy, it will not be called like the King: "Definitely, no. It will not be called Juan Carlos", although His Majesty insinuated afterwards that its parents will have the last word. What is to be, will be, but meanwhile to all it continues to play with our curiosity.

MADRID, Spain: A security guard walks by the entrance to the private clinic in Madrid where Spain's Princess Letizia will give birth to her first child, 27 October 2005. Tight security measures are in place at the clinic, whose personnel have signed a confidentiality agreement. Guards with dogs are patrolling the grounds of the clinic, some of them inside the building -- although not in operating theatres.

We dont' know if will be today The only thing that's certain it's that security was reforced around Ruber Clinic, as pics show. Let´s what happens

 

[xicamaluca]

I belive that they are on stand by, there weren't any reports about she already be in hospital, only that security was reforeced and patients were moved in teh Ruber clinic.

 

[lula]

is she in the hospital now or are they on stand by

At the moment nothing is known, this only is a rumor of a digital newspaper.
The Royal House has not said any newspaper or serious television at all and either.

Doubtlessly you're being kept awake by a deeply ingrained female instinct that makes you liable to get nuts about royal babies in general.
