Middleton announced her first pregnancy in her fitness column in Waitrose Weekend.

"I've noticed my body change and weight increase, but through effective exercise and sports I feel that it's being strengthened to support a healthy pregnancy, birth, and recovery," she wrote at the time.

Middleton gave birth to Arthur at St. Mary's Hospital in London, which is also where her sister gave birth to all three of her children. Arthur is named after Matthews' late brother, who died climbing Mount Everest in 1999.
