I just thought you'd all find this as fascinatingly important as I did.

Not sure what she was wearing when she delivered, but I'm sure that should be posted soon, as well as her hair style while pushing the little gem out. No pictures of the baby crowning, but we're hoping for at least a play-by-play re-enactment by some of the on-air correspondents.
You're welcome

(4,238 posts)How do we know if the baby was really delivered vaginally if we don't know the dilation? Obviously, the palace is refusing to release this vital piece of information because they don't want the public to know that Kate actually had a C-section. I'm sure those ace reporters are doing some diligent research trying to get to the bottom of this.

(8,646 posts)then it's implied the dilation was, at one point, 10 cm.
duh.
But all that aside - I find it interesting because it seems very few celebs deliver naturally anymore. Many get a 'mommy tuck' at the same time as their C-section so their tummies can remain nice and flat. I used to be involved in a lot of the 'natural birth' scene and they would like to know this information. Seems weird, but there you have it.

(4,238 posts)A baby that size would have certainly torn through Kate's delicate lady part. The thought of the royal vagina being torn to shreds is simply unthinkable. I'm sure appropriate measures were in place to oh-so-carefully cut her royal vaj to make adequate room for the incoming prince.

Is the little chap to be circumcised? Obviously, I'll be watching for live coverage on CNN.

(4,238 posts)front page. Hence the usage in my title. I really wasn't trying to be provocative, just mocking their complete lack of tact when it comes to this (well, almost all) story.
They've since changed the headline, so just thought I'd clarify.
