Princess Máxima has been Admitted to Hospital!

[Princess Maxima]

I have to go to class, and I won't be home for another four hours! I'm guessing I'll be missing the birth. It's too bad. I waited around for both Amalia and Alexia.

Yes.. I'm going too(to Dutch lessons).. so for sure I'll miss the birth

 

[Aurora810]

Faster, Maxie, faster!!! God, I hope the baby will arrive before midnight...

Well if baby doesn't come before midnight then he or she will have a birthdate not shared with Prince Floris. Isn't it Floris' b-day today.

The two previous deliveries went via natural way and without sedation. It is very unusual to use sedation in the Netherlands.
There is a belief, or tradition or 'wisdom' that women 'should' endure the pain to create a deep bond with the baby.

Deliveries with a smile on your face thanks to sedation (USA) is very uncommon in here. Doctors will advize against it.

Brave Dutch women! Máxima is a real Dutch!

I heard that it is very commen to have home-births in the netherlands, is that true?

Henri is more the expert than I but yes I've heard an overwhelming amount of home deliveries happen in the Netherlands.

this has been posted in Maxima's current events thread.doesnt she look great, a picture of her just a few day before going into labour

 

[ladybelline]

I came back after 2 hours and still no baby! I hope everything is all right!

I had thought about that too. Surely a false alarm would not last more than 7 hours

I didnt know Marilene had home births?

 

[catango]

How many hours of labour did Maxima have with her two little girls?

sorry I figured that it was probably covered already but I just recently joined the babywatch so I'm still catching up.

She is so close to her due date (I am sure they cheated a bit when they said end of April) that I doubt, they'll be sending her home on a false alarm after so many hours.
Usually a false alarm (gas, mild contractions without labour, or digestion problems, hihihi) are diagnosed pretty quickly and the mom-to-be is out of the hospital quicker than her hubby can park the car. Of course this might be a trifle different with the CP but I doubt, they'll have them stay over night ot late in the night without indication that the birth is imminent.

 

[crm2317]

SHe was in hospital for about 9 hours with Amalia and 4 or 5 with Alexia I think

 

[magnik]

Nothing happen
This is very exciting and stressful day...

 

[MissSaga]

Oh good this is soo exciting !!

I wish Maxima a safe delivery, and the entire family a healthy and sound baby !

I'm hoping for a little boy.

 

[BOBBIE]

Generally, it is going faster at each children but .....

 

[BOBBIE]

The baby will decide and choose the best moment to come

 

[crm2317]

. . .not this time lol

 

[magnik]

. . .not this time lol

Right.
But maybe it's going to the end right now? Who knows what happen there...

 

[catango]

Ok thanks, but it is last a little bit, and I become ansious, I can't wait for the news, even I don't care for the baby sex, all this is just exciting.

 

[morhange]

Do you guys think they will announce the birth right away, or wait until tomorrow morning? I hope that the baby arrives soon, I don't want to be up at 5am EST waiting for news! But hopefully the labor won't take that long.

 

[Alisa]

Maybe it's a sign that it is a boy, they generally take longer to find their way out of the birth canal.

 

[magnik]

Nothing and no news on English section of The Dutch Royal House while on Dutch version ... Het Koninklijk Huis

 

[crm2317]

In other baby news it has been announced that Larry Birkhead is the father of Anna Nicole Smyth's baby girl not Howard K Stern (whose name was on the certificate)

Willem should wave from a window to let us know everything is ok for all the anxious minds on the site

 

[Leonie]

for all we know she might have already had the baby its been quite long

 

[Avalon]

As we now know the latest addition to the family is a girl, we close this babywatch thread and can post our Congratulations and Best wishes in the It's a girl for Maxima and Willem! thread.

Thanks to all our babywatchers!
