I'm think I'm gonna be wrong in every aspect of every sweepstake I've entered for this!

The Duchess of Cambridge has given birth to a baby boy, Kensington Palace has announced.]

 

The baby was delivered at 16:24 BST at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, west London, weighing 8lb 6oz.

The palace said in a statement that the duchess and the baby were "doing well" and would stay in hospital overnight.

The news has been displayed on an ornate easel in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace in line with tradition.

 

A bulletin - signed by the Queen's gynaecologist Marcus Setchell, who led the medical team that delivered the baby - was taken by a royal aide from St Mary's to the palace under police escort.

 

The document said: "Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son at 4.24pm today.

"Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well."

 

The Kensington Palace press release said the Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth.

 

 

Just checking for the winners now :)

So ... names?

[Turin Turambar]

 

I had already guessed Edward. Could also be Phillip I think.

[Turin Turambar]

Thank you Ithi

 

And the world is safe as the royal line continues. Leaving the Doctor to protect against other threats to the planet.

[ed2funy]

Huzzah for Prince Edward.

Chubby baby.

[wheeloftime13]

i think Philip will be a likely choice since the prince is old and has been in the hospital a few times recently... i'm so happy for them!!! i'm going to say that that's a big first baby, though...

 

can't believe we have to wait 10 days for a name...

[Basel Gill]

Where are you getting the 10 days from, Time?

[wheeloftime13]

On the news it said we have to wait 10 days to see what the baby will be called...

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

8lb6oz is big?

[Ithillian Turambar]

Well, mine were 7lb 1 and 6lb 11oz respectively

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I was 9 lb 8 and 23 inches long... mom was not pleased . sis was 7.14 at 3 wks early. 21 inches long but she stayed tall.

[Ithillian Turambar]

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge name their son George Alexander Louis, Kensington Palace says.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

is that who they are?

 

George. interesting.

[lolguy26]

[suchmadness]

Mine is exactly six pounds and took three days to arrive.

 

I was not happy. I wanted to have natural birth but at the end I was so exhausted that I was screaming for drugs. They gave epidural...expertly.

 

It was bliss after that.

 

Dolphin breathing does not work!

[suchmadness]

Well I was wrong...

 

stupid mags where did they get their sources. Obviously not at the right places.

[Turin Turambar]

Yikes. Three days?

[Niniel]

Oh, three days... That must have been really tough.

[Ithillian Turambar]

I was induced with my 1st as he was 12 days late. Slammed straight into contractions every minute - but no dilating. So ... they told me I was NOT in labour ('cos you need 3cm for it to count) and offered me a paracetamol.

 

That suggestion went down really well lol.

[ineedfourberfs]

I am crossing my legs with quite some gusto after reading that.
