BORIS Johnson could be calling a midwife to No10 with fiancée Carrie Symonds keen on a home birth.
Britain’s new First Lady, 31, is understood to be considering having their baby at the PM’s country retreats or even in Downing Street.
Boris Johnson’s fiancée Carrie Symonds could have their baby at No10
A source told HOAR: “Carrie has told Boris that a home birth is one thing she’s very keen on. She likes to do things her way.
“She has a few options where she could have their firstborn.
“It could mean Downing Street, Chequers or even Chevening, Kent.”
Just one in 50 women in England and Wales give birth at home, according to NHS statistics.
On Sunday night Boris, 55, said he was “absolutely delighted” that he is going to be a dad for the sixth time.
The tot is expected in late May or early June.
The couple also announced their engagement in Saturday’s double-whammy of good news — with Carrie posting an Instagram pic of Boris kissing her cheek.
The baby could have been conceived at the Queen’s country estate at Balmoral, where the couple stayed overnight in September.
Ex-PM Tony Blair and his wife Cherie conceived their fourth child Leo while staying in Balmoral in 1999.
Mr Johnson has four children with his estranged wife of 25 years Marina Wheeler, who he split from in 2018.
He has a fifth child from an affair with art consultant Helen Macintyre.
The PM and PR executive Carrie, a former Tory press chief, are expected to slip off aboard to marry once his divorce from Ms Wheeler is finalised.
The future Mr and Mrs Johnson made history as the first unmarried couple to officially live together in Downing Street when they moved in last year.
But they have rarely been seen publicly together, even on the election campaign trail.
BABY TROLLS
On Sunday MPs from all parties continued to congratulate the happy couple.
Labour’s health chief Jonathan Ashworth sent his best wishes.
But the couple were also trolled on social media, with some saying the timing of the announcement was simply to bury bad news concerning Home Office resignations and coronavirus.
Columnist Sarah Vine, wife of Tory Minister Michael Gove, hit back: “Would like to remind everyone this is Carrie’s first baby, regardless of anything else. Let’s be kind to the pregnant lady.”
Boris could be the first PM to take shared parental leave after a 2015 law change gave dads rights to stay at home with a newborn.
The couple are entitled to split up to 50 weeks.
David Cameron took brief leave after daughter Florence was born in 2010.
Winston — in honour of Boris’s hero Sir Winston Churchill — is the 7/1 favourite name if the new No10 baby is a boy.
Charlotte heads the girls names at 8/1.
Carrie’s spokeswoman declined to comment on any home birth.
