Here’s what Kate has in her hospital bag for baby number three

Kate Middleton is nearing her due date and is likely making her last preparations for giving birth.

The duchess has reportedly packed her hospital bag ahead of the birth and we have to say, her must-haves sound like things that lots of mamas-to-be would bring with them. Kate has a CD with calming music to help soothe her, as well as her favourite aromatherapy candle and moisturiser, reports OK! Magazine. Also among her hospital bag essentials are special family heirlooms from both the Middletons and the royal family to have with her when she gives birth.

She'll also be bringing an alabaster cameo pendant that Queen Elizabeth gave her as a good luck token before she had her first baby. Adorably, it's thought that George and Charlotte helped their mum pack the bag and gave her some of their own toys to welcome their new brother and sister. Meanwhile, Kate isn't the only one preparing for occasion. Last week, the road outside the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London where she'll give birth was closed to the public.

While the restrictions will be in place until the end of the month, they're a sure sign that there isn't long to go.
