Jessica added: ““I considered a termination but it was too late to do that by the time it got really bad.”

A source told MailOnline: “The Duchess knew it wasn’t possible for her first baby to be born at home, but she asked for a home birth for the second. Officials and doctors thought it too risky. There was concern and in the end she decided against it.”
