Questions over whether or not Kate Middleton had gone into labor before her Saturday due date sparked Wednesday morning after an emergency ambulance helicopter was seen arriving at the pregnant Duchess' home in Kensington Palace in London.

Middleton is only a few days away, so it wasn't much of a surprise when the ambulance showed up to the Duchess' home.

However, the labor rumors were quickly shot down after it was revealed that the ambulance had not been related to Middleton.

Evening Standard, a London newspaper confirmed the reason for the emergency alert.

"Kensington palace helicopter and ambulance 'categorically' NOT royal baby, say London Ambulance. Woman ill and person broke collar bone," the publication tweeted.

Middleton has been lying low for some time, as she is currently on maternity leave.

Enstars reported earlier that she flaunted her baby bump on her way to the Rossano Ferretti Hair Salon in Mayfair two weeks ago.

According to a source close to the royal has been surrounding herself with loved ones at her and Prince William's home at Kensington Palace, Nottingham Cottage.

Middleton will give birth in the Lindo wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, where Prince William was born. Media outlets have already started camping out in front of the hospital.

Gynecologist Marcus Setchell, who has been the Queen's doctor since 1990 will help deliver the baby.

The official announcement of the baby's birth won't be revealed via Twitter, but will be posted on the gate of Buckingham Palace. Once the bulletin is posted, the news of the baby can then be put on the internet.

Meanwhile, Prince William is planning to break previous tradition to become a modern dad, unlike his father Prince Charles.

"Charles did not understand how to be modern," a source told The Mirror, adding, "He was loving in his own way but he was caught up in the palace system and he couldn't fight it, so Diana was isolated in her pregnancy and as a young mother."
