Actress Kate Winslet will have to have her baby induced if she does not give birth by this weekend, October 8th.
The Titanic star was due to give birth to her first baby with husband Jim Threapleton on the 25th of September, 2000 but is still sporting her bump.
And a gynaecologist says if the baby doesn't come naturally by
Sunday it will need some encouragement from doctors.
He says, "when a baby is 14 days past its due date it is normal
practice to induce the baby, as this is safest for the baby and the
mother.
"So if Kate is not in hospital giving birth this weekend she will
have to go on Monday, October 9, and be seen by a midwife.
"She certainly looks ready to have the baby and probably can't
wait as things are definitely getting uncomfortable for her with
the weight of the baby and the associated discomfort found in the
later stages of pregnancy."
A friend of Kate's confirms she is eagerly awaiting the baby's
arrival, saying, "she looks ready to burst and can't wait to hold
her first child in her arms. She has loved being pregnant but just
wants the baby to be born now” – Caroline Blight (Wenn, London).
