"I'm having a C-section because I had to have an emergency one last time, and that's OK," Kate admitted of her upcoming birth.
"Last time, I had an emergency C-section, and I had all the way pushing and then it went wrong," she added later.
"I've kind of had both births [already]… I think I know what I'm doing and I'm hopeful that it might be easier."
Today, Kate also showed off her blossoming baby bump in a new Instagram snap, as she donned a tight-fitting dress.
