It's a girl. Peculiarly I was anticipating it would be a boy.... but what do I know. Hope Mum and baby are doing well, must say Mum in that photo looks stunning considering she has recently given birth.

I'm feeling a bit paranoid about the whole story, I'm sorry to say!

It's almost nine months since Corrie went missing. How could April have known a few days earlier about her pregnancy?

It's not paranoid, Freedom: it's questioning ...

Thank you, Chatelaine.

I don't know if I would be so sceptical about everything if the McCann case had never happened!

Questioning every detail in/of life, is very important.
It's education and survival mode in "one" ...

According to a reverse pregnancy calculator, a baby born on 14 June would have been conceived on 21 Sep. Now if April was late in giving birth it would be no more than 2 weeks so even if you say she fell pregnant on 7 Sep she must have done a test very quickly afterwards to have told Corrie she was expecting on the 18th, which is the date Martin says she told Corrie.
If the baby was born on time then Martin is mistaken and if she was born early then Corrie isn`t the father. Blimey.

But what the heck are those stupid plastic flowers doing in her hair - its a wonder the baby isn`t wearing them as well - give it time

I agree with everything you`ve said there chirpy.

We don`t know the circumstances of why she was taken into hospital early, or if she was induced or anything. However the majority of births are correctly worked out to 38 weeks from the date of conception.

According to this link, the baby was born "a week ago" and April knew of the pregnancy a fortnight after Corrie went missing.

... So who is lying here?

Girlfriend for saying she found out she was pregnant after Corrie went missing?

Or Corrie's father for saying he (Corrie) knew about the pregnancy before he went missing?

One of them is.

I can only say that, in my opinion, Corrie's father is the truthful one in the family; he certainly comes over as a nice person whereas his ex-wife doesn't.

Of course I don't know any of them so I might be wrong.

It was said initially by April in January that she found out 2 weeks after she got back from the States. Then Martin said April told Corrie on 18 Sep. He says that was relayed to him by Nicola 2 days after Corrie disappeared at a meeting at N's house. A friend took notes for him and the police have those notes.
Martin said this in an interview today.

"I can only suppose that she waited 4 days until Fathers' Day to announce the news because she was recuperating." ( a thinly veiled dig)

This can only mean baby arrived on 14th June. There are rumours this was 6 days late but only rumours. If so conception must have taken place on around 15 Sep, but could be up to a week before that. Fast work.

I'm with you on this one Freedom,absolutely bizarre and totally unbelievable.Just my opinion as ever.

Here is a link to BBC Look East where the newsreader states the baby was born on 11th June. If this is correct then whatever Martin was told is wrong as he states April kept it quiet for 4 days until yesterday, meaning he thinks the baby was born on Wednesday.
I just don't get the confusion. The truth will have to be told for the birth certificate. And babies don't come exactly on time always so why fudge the date for the sake of 3 days?

That agrees with the earlier BBC report which said a week ago.

April's story is just about believable - maybe Corrie's father is mistaken rather than deliberately lying.

I can't see him being mistaken somehow other than perhaps getting the wrong date for Corrie knowing about baby. The main thrust of his outburst is that Corrie knew before he disappeared. Does nobody else find it strange that there is a blanket put over the actual birthdate? Normally the happy relatives can't wait to splash the news by giving the sex, exact moment of birth, weight and often other details all over social media. Not one relative that I can see on FB has mentioned her birth date.

I find it extremely strange, Chirps.

It's a massive contradiction that one side of Corrie's family says he knew about the pregnacy and the other side says he didn't.

Surely the Police have ironed out this little inconsistency even if they've not said anything publicly?

You'd think anyway.

Yes, I agree that it's very weird - to add to all the other things which are weird about this case.

Am I being totally paranoid or affected by the heat worse than usual? Does anyone else think that there is a possibility that April wasn't pregnant and has not had a baby?

I don't believe she was pregnant when Corrie disappeared, whether she was afterwards and with whom? is another question. I'm more inclined to think Martin knows the truth.

Fiona Smith Congratulations to you all. Was she born on Fathers Day?

Nicola Urquhart No. She was born on the 11th. April was able to enjoy a little peace and yesterday felt like the perfect day to share the news x

How then do we reconcile Martin's assertion that April told Corrie on the 18th Sep? I don't disbelieve this for one moment btw. He has no reason to lie and says his notes, taken down by someone else, are now with the police. Did N invent a pregnancy story or did April? It's a bit hard to hide a non pregnancy. My head is all over the place with this one but let's just say nothing would surprise me now.

That's a pretty big lie that should be easily proven if it was the case.

I do agree that it sounds too bonkers to be true - but so do a lot of other things that are supposed to be true!

If she wasn't pregnant she could have had a convenient "miscarriage", blaming it on the stress of Corrie being missing.

It does seem too far-fetched to believe that she is pretending that someone else's baby is hers.

Okay, I'll put this one down to me being heat affected!

I think they were both seeing other people (which I believe was admitted). She says to Corrie that she's pregnant but doesn't know who the father is. Corrie relays that back to his father then with something along the lines of I think I've got someone pregnant. He then goes missing.

Mum and GF try and flush out Corrie in the early days with the 'going to be a father' stuff incase he did go AWOL. Then stick to the Corrie is the father script without concrete proof that he actually is and can't really go back on the little white lie that they've told.

So yes pregnant, yes she had the baby but a strong possibility that Corrie isn't the father.

Imo etc.
