Exciting news! In anticipation of their royal bundle of joy due later this month, reports are surfacing that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have set a birthing game plan to avoid a media frenzy!  

According to the Daily Mail, friends of Meghan revealed that the 37-year-old former Suits actress has plans to birth her first child via midwife in the comfort and privacy of their new home, Frogmore Cottage at Windsor Castle.

"When it comes to giving birth, every woman has to decide what's best for her and what's best for her baby. The Queen's team will be involved, but it has not been decided how much yet," a source revealed. 

With her husband right by her side “every step of the way,” it is possible that Meghan could give birth without any pain relief at all, although she can benefit from numerous relaxation options including a warm bath, a birth pool, TENS (a machine the uses low voltage electric current to relieve pain) or hypnobirthing.

Unlike the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who welcomed their three children at St. Mary's hospital, Meghan decided to follow the footsteps of the Queen, who gave birth to each of her four children at either Buckingham Palace or Clarence House.

Although the plan is a home birth, according to sources, the soon-to-be mom and dad have not entirely ruled out a hospital delivery for precaution sake due to Meghan’s age. 

“It is her favored choice, but it obviously depends on how things are nearer the time,” a source said about the couple’s choice to opt for home birth.

The good news is, there is not too much to worry about, according to Meghan’s friend, who said the Duchess is in “extremely good health,” while another friend (in America) said that Meghan has “sailed” through her pregnancy.

Without a doubt, excitement builds for the welcoming of new royalty!
