GAME OF CONES; FRENZY OUTSIDE KATE BABY WARD Hospital traffic alert Extra barriers go up The Sun (London, England). (May 2, 2015): News: p17. Byline: EMILY NASH By EMILY NASH ROYAL baby fever ramped up last night as the world awaited a weekend delivery. Traffic cones and extra barriers were put up outside the Lindo Wing private maternity unit, where Prince William's wife Kate is due to give birth. It sparked a frenzy among waiting royal superfans and media crews. But William was in no rush for the hospital, as he signed a book of condolence for earthquake victims at Nepal's embassy in London. He wrote: "With my deepest condolences to the people of Nepal and my thoughts and prayers to all those affected." Meanwhile, crowds continued to gather outside the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington. They could be kept waiting longer if Kate follows the same pattern as last time when Prince George arrived with the full moon. Many believe the moon's pull affects amniotic fluid in the womb in the same way it affects the tides. The next full moon is on Monday. Maternity wards are said to be busier during a full moon, but medics are divided over the link. Birthing helper Maddie McMahon said: "I did a tot-up last year and I found 40 per cent of my clients go into labour on a full moon or a new moon when the sky is very dark." Kate, believed to be at least a week overdue, has been staying at Kensington Palace, a nine-minute drive from the hospital. The odds of the tot being a princess were slashed again to 4/9 after more than PS5,000 was wagered on a girl with Ladbrokes. [email protected] .
