Wilhelmina expects stork

September 9, 1908

Queen Wihelmina of the Netherlands was visited today by an eminent gynecologist as she is expecting a child. The pregnancy was announced two weeks ago. She spends most of her time in her apartments, resting, as she awaits the birth of her first child. She receives few visitors, has given up her carriage rides but does take occasional walks in the park. Recently, she has not felt well, and has been confined to bed.
