Another ROYAL FIRST! Inside Meghan Markle's water birth

"Meghan's a new-age woman!" - by Penelope Kilby
  • 14 Apr 2019

Forget the Royal Family's strict protocol, Meghan Markle is doing motherhood on her own terms!

Another ROYAL FIRST! Inside Meghan Markle's water birth

Palace insiders can reveal that Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex will welcome her and Prince Harry's first child via a water birth.

And no, it won't be happening in a maternity ward!

According to the source, Megs and Harry's bub will be born at their new home, Frogmore Cottage.

"Obviously Meg's into all the homeopathy, so none of us was shocked when we found out she'd been talking about a water birthday," the source told Daily Star.

What an incredibly special surprise the grassroots led #globalsussexbabyshower was last Sunday! The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are immensely grateful for the outpouring of love and support in anticipation of the birth of their first child. In lieu of sending gifts, the couple have long planned to encourage members of the public to make donations to select charities for children and parents in need. If you already made a donation, the couple send you their greatest thanks. If you are thinking about it, they ask that you kindly consider the following organisations they've selected, which we will highlight here over the next few days: @thelunchboxfund @littlevillagehq @wellchild @baby2baby The Duke and Duchess remain appreciative for your warm wishes and kindness during this especially happy time in their lives! Thank you for sharing the love ❤️

"Apparently, she wants it to be as natural as possible: no drugs, no caesareans and so on," the source explained.

"It’s the next logical step from all her yoga, meditation and so on."

The Palace insider added that naturally, the Meghan and Harry's birth plan could change. "Obviously when she goes into labour she might end up, medically speaking, having to go the more conventional route.

"But for now a water birth is absolutely her plan, is what they’re saying."

At 37, the source added that Meghan's age could hinder her at-home birth dreams, but she's determined to create new traditions for the Sussex family. 

"Meghan is a new-age woman, so obviously the birth will reflect everything about that, and the new generation her and Harry are bringing up."
