Speaking on behalf of Pippa’s sister, Kate Middleton, and brother in law, Prince William, Kensington Palace said in a statement: “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are thrilled for Pippa and James.” The newest addition to the family makes her older sister, Kate, an aunt for the first time. The royal mom of three likely has plenty of sage advice (and newborn clothes!) to pass on to her younger sister, who was one of Prince Louis’ very first visitors after his birth in April. A source previously told PEOPLE that Pippa and her husband, James, are looking forward to settling down and “having children and leading a quiet life.” And their new baby will have plenty of little playmates. In addition to cousins Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, Matthews’ younger brother, Spencer Matthews, welcomed his first child, a son, with his wife, model Vogue Williams, in early September.

The then-expectant mom revealed that she did not battle severe pregnancy sickness, or Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), unlike Princess Kate. “I was lucky to pass the 12-week scan without suffering from morning sickness. That meant I was able to carry on as normal,” she wrote. She stayed active throughout her pregnancy and documented her fitness regime in her ongoing column.

It’s so good for you that you could swim every day – as long as you don’t overexert yourself – right up until the end of the third trimester.” In her final column, she revealed that she had turned to meditation to help her in the late stages of her pregnancy. “I was skeptical at first, but after practicing this discipline for the past month I have noticed a huge difference in my mental wellbeing and sense of clarity,” she wrote. “It’s a good idea to take some wellbeing time for mummy-to-be now and, most importantly, for the future.”<doc-sep>Simon McCoy announces Pippa Middleton has given birth FREE now and never miss the top Royal stories again.

It has since been confirmed Pippa gave birth at 1.58pm the same day. Pippa's pregnancy was confirmed in June, although speculation started as early as April, around the same time her sister Kate gave birth to her third child, Prince Louis. Pippa and James have been married since May of 2017, and this is their first child together. What is the gender of Pippa Middleton and James Matthews’ baby? Pippa Middleton has given birth to a baby boy. A spokeswoman for Pippa and her husband said the baby was born on Monday, October 15. She said: "James and Pippa have had a baby boy. "He was born Monday 15th October at 1.58pm, weighing 8lb and 9oz. "Everyone is delighted and mother and baby are doing well." Pippa Middleton has welcomed a baby boy Pippa Middleton attended the wedding of Eugenie on Friday looking heavily pregnant What is the name of the baby? Pippa Middleton and James Matthews have named their son Arthur Michael William Matthews. Royal fans were guessing "Michael" would be a part of the name long before it was confirmed. Spencer Matthews knows little about Pippa Middleton's pregnancy They guessed the couple would go for traditional names, like Pippa’s sister Kate did with her children; George, Charlotte and Louis, and Arthur is a very traditional name. Michael was topping the list in the bookies’ guesses, and for two very special reasons. Michael is the name of Pippa and sister Kate's dad, and would be a very sentimental choice. However, the name also carries a lot of significance for Pippa’s husband James. James' eldest brother sadly disappeared in 1999 and was named Michael. Pippa Middleton married James Matthews in May, 2016 He was 22-years-old at the time he vanished when he attempted to be the youngest person to climb Mount Everest. Other names topping the odds before the name was confirmed was Alexander at 3/1, William at 7/2 and Joseph and James at 4/1. The names Thomas, Frederick, Oliver, Peter and Ronald were also on the top ten list of names Pippa and husband James Matthews could have gone for Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "It's no surprise to see Michael head the betting now that the sex has been confirmed and while we wish mother and baby all the best, attention now turns to what name the happy couple will opt for!"

PIPPA Middleton may have given birth to her first child on Monday but she is yet to be visited by her sister, Kate, Duchess of Cambridge. Pippa’s other sibling, James Middleton, was the first to arrive to meet his new nephew following the birth. However, while Kate and Prince William put out a statement saying they are “thrilled” for Pippa and her husband James Matthews, media reports suggest the royals won’t visit the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington where Pippa is staying. Kensington Palace revealed that the Duchess took part in an unannounced charity engagement on Tuesday and therefore could not go to the hospital. The court circular, which documents the engagements of the royal family, explained what the meeting was about. “The Duchess of Cambridge this morning held a meeting of experts convened by the Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex to inform Her Royal Highness’s charitable “Early Years” initiative,” it said. Express reports that Kate is unlikely to visit Pippa at all while she is in hospital because she doesn’t want to cause a media circus. However, Pippa didn’t visit her sister in hospital after she gave birth to any of her three children. While Pippa and Kate both acted as matron’s of honour for each other’s weddings, the pair are rarely seen together. Pippa is often spotted hanging out in public with her brother, James. Pippa became a mother for the first time after giving birth to a baby boy weighing 8lb and 9oz on Monday at 1:58pm after a short three hour labour. The little boy is the cousin of future king, Prince George, five, his brother Prince Louis, five months, and their sister Princess Charlotte, three.
