If you believe in old wives’ tales, they you may agree that the shape of a bump determines whether you’re carrying a girl or a boy. If the bump is higher and sticks out in front, you’re apparently having a son, whereas if it’s lower and spread more widely around the woman’s middle, it’s a girl. While there is no scientific evidence behind this theory, it’s always fun trying to guess a baby’s gender.
When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were pregnant with their first child Archie in 2018 and 2019, they revealed they were keeping the sex a surprise, despite royal biography Finding Freedom claiming that they already knew their son’s gender before the birth.
Fast forward two years and Meghan is pregnant again, this time with a baby girl! The couple revealed they were having a daughter back in March during their CBS interview with Oprah Winfrey.
As Meghan’s summer due date looms, let’s take a look at how her bump changed during her two pregnancies…

Around three months pregnant
Harry and Meghan announced the Duchess’ pregnancy just as they embarked on their 16-day autumn tour of Australasia. On the left, Meghan is pictured just after the three-month mark in October 2019 as she attended a reception in Melbourne. Finding Freedom claimed she was due at the end of April, but was late with Archie eventually arriving on 6 May 2019.
On the right, the Duchess is pictured at roughly the same stage of her pregnancy with her daughter, in December 2020 when she made a surprise appearance on Sunday’s CNN Heroes special and delivered remarks in a pre-taped segment to celebrate those who have supported others amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Harry and Meghan hadn’t announced their pregnancy, but the Duchess’ solo appearance came shortly after she sadly revealed she had suffered a miscarriage earlier in the year.

Around five months pregnant
Meghan showed off her growing bump as she visited the Royal Variety Charity’s residential nursing and care home in Twickenham, London in December 2018. She got stuck in and helped make Christmas decorations with the elderly residents.
In 2021, Harry and Meghan announced they were pregnant again and included their son Archie in their sweet photo announcement taken by Misan Harriman. The Duchess appeared to be around four or five months pregnant.
