Meghan Markle could go into early labor because of a unique physical characteristic, according to medical and birth experts.
The Duchess of Sussex is reportedly due to welcome her second child 'any day now', with some experts suggesting she is predisposed to having an early labor.
Meghan and Harry announced that they are expecting a baby girl this summer during their interview with Oprah in March, but chose to refrain from disclosing further details on the family matter. The couple has stayed quiet about the pregnancy since its confirmation, investing their energy in Covid-19 vaccine equity and mental health awareness projects instead. The name of Meghan and Harry's daughter, as well as the delivery date, remains top-secret, with many fans desperate for some info on the beloved royal duo. The curiosity has prompted widespread speculation, with some folks now wondering if Meghan Markle’s real name could be a clue to what she will call her daughter.
However, as we approach the end of May, it looks like the agonizing wait is almost up. Royal insiders predict we may be hearing baby news sooner rather than later, all because of an unusual anatomical condition.

Meghan "could have an earlier or quicker labor" thanks to her unique physical features, explained birth coach Alexandra Kremer. The duchess's fingers are double-jointed, which surprisingly makes her a candidate for an early due date. This condition is known as joint hypermobility or joint laxity and affects up to 20% of people. It may mean the abdominal muscles are looser, which can make for a speedier delivery.
"Due to how fragile the connective tissue can be, hypermobility has shown that there can be a connection with early labor," she said.
According to the Hypermobility Syndromes Association, pregnant women who are double-jointed may experience "early dilation of the cervix." This can result in the "premature rupture of the membranes and hence premature labor and delivery."
Dr. Adam Taylor, an anatomy specialist, agrees that Meghan's double-jointed fingers could indicate the possibility of an earlier birth.
"The ligaments of the pelvis, which help hold the pelvis together, are believed to loosen over pregnancy," he said. "So any more mobility within these from having hypermobility may help make delivery easier too."
Luckily, the duchess will almost certainly be in good hands when she does go into labor. Meghan's luxurious maternity hospital choices include high-end clinics and holistic birth centers, meaning she's likely to receive state-of-the-art medical care during the delivery of her second baby.
