Sophie, Countess of Wessex, gave birth to a healthy boy yesterday.

It was reported that HRH would deliver her second child via caesarian this Friday, but it occurred Monday instead.

The life of the Countess and first child Louise hung in the balance in 2003, when the baby was delivered via emergency C-section. Two years prior to the birth of Louise, Sophie  had to be airlifted to hospital after suffering an ectopic pregnancy.

So this successful pregnancy has Sophie and her husband, HRH Prince Edward, “absolutely thrilled!” His mother The Queen and the entire Royal Family couldn’t agree more!

Sophie, Countess of Wessex, had been due to give birth on Christmas Day but will now have her baby delivered by a scheduled caesarean section this Friday.

This is the second child for Sophie and her husband, HRH Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. Their first child, Lady Louise, is four years old.

No chances are being taken this time around after what happened with Louise’s dramatic entrance into the world. Sophie had to be rushed to the hospital for an emergency “C section” after having severe pain and a considerable loss of blood. Louise was four weeks premature, and mother and daughter had to remain in hospital for some time before they were allowed to go home.
