The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge just celebrated their fifth anniversary as a married couple, but the rumors continue to persist regarding a supposed third pregnancy of Kate Middleton.
Rumors about the Duchess's pregnancy began last year, shortly after she gave birth to her second child Princess Charlotte, in May 2015. But the claims proved to be false, as the Duchess continues to go through all her official duties as part of the British royal family.
Ecumenical News revealed that Middleton was last seen at a charity sailing event during the America's Cup in England last week. She even rode the waves with pro sailor Ben Ainslie. This simply means that it would be impossible for the Duchess to do any active sport if she is indeed currently pregnant with her third child.
But while the highly anticipated third pregnancy is still far from happening, the medical team who took charge of delivering Prince George and Princess Charlotte revealed how they handled the high-profile childbirth of the royal babies.
Consultant obstetrician and gynecologist Professor Tiong Ghee Teoh and anesthesiologist Dr. Johanna Bray both talked to People to discuss how they helped the Duchess give birth.
According to Professor Teoh, a medical team was on call for three months prior to the Duchess's expected birth so they could easily attend to her in case of emergency. But he also revealed that he was not the primary physician who delivered the babies.
"I was back-up to Guy Thorpe-Beeston," the professor said.
Dr. Bray also expounded on their roles in Middleton's large medical team.
"We weren't actually at the birth but were behind the scenes. We were all on call for three months – my husband did the childcare for three months! You never know when you need to be called. You need to be in town and available. If you are at a party you need to have your car keys at the ready. No drinking!" the anesthesiologist said.
