Meghan Markle is getting butterflies in her stomach — or wait, maybe that’s just the Royal baby kicking like crazy again?
LOLz, what we mean is she’s nervous!
As she and Prince Harry are getting closer to becoming first time parents, we’re hearing the anticipation is really building — and not just among fans.

Royal reporter Omid Scobie gave America the scoop on GMA Wednesday, spilling:
“Sources close to Meghan say that, like any new mom-to-be, she’s feeling somewhat nervous as the due date approaches.”
However, unlike any new mom-to-be, she has both a literal AND figurative Prince in her court. Scobie reassured:
“But Harry is there by her side. He’s decreased a lot of his work to be there for his wife.”
Soon he’ll be decreasing that workload even more.
No, we don’t mean because it turns out he won’t have to be the leader of an independent court like he and the Duchess of Sussex wanted.
We’re talking about the reports the progressive Prince is planning to take paternity leave to help take care of the Royal baby!
Royal expert and former Queen Elizabeth II spokesperson Dickie Arbiter told UsWeekly:
“It’s a modern thing. Prince William did it for his children [with Duchess Kate] and Harry’s going to do it for his, when his child is born. I mean, the older generation didn’t do it. The older generation just got on with it. But it’s a new thing. People do it, William did it and Harry is going to do it. [The length] depends on him. I would have thought no more than about two or three weeks.”
Sounds like a reasonable amount of time to get to know the newborn — and give mom a break!
Meghan has already begun planning for her maternity leave, which we expect will be a bit longer.
Unfortunately still adding to the stress? The move to Frogmore Cottage, which seems to always be impending and never actually happening.

The Duke and Duchess were meant to have moved into their new home, already but there’s been yet another delay.
According to a palace aide speaking to Vanity Fair this week, the extensive renovations are taking longer than expected. The home won’t be ready for at least two more weeks, meaning it likely won’t be ready by the time Meghan gives birth.
We guess the little… is it marquess? Baron? Anyway, the Royal Baby will have to make do without that white and gray non-color scheme nursery Meghan picked out.
We want to hear from all our Perezcious moms out there! How were YOU feeling during your final weeks??
