For the record, found this on reddit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20645838
Apparently lots of other media outlets (Fox, per the link above and Huffingtonpost, in another story I saw) are not being very clear. The nurse that was found dead is not the nurse who revealed the info. From the article:
"Mrs Saldanha, a duty nurse who was married with two children, answered the telephone because it was 05:30 GMT and there was no receptionist on duty... In the call, another nurse was tricked into revealing specific confidential information about the duchess's medical condition."

No. I honestly wish everybody would leave them alone. It would be one thing if it was the first child of the King, but we are talking about the Heir of the Heir having a child.

It is possible -- theoretically, at least -- to give them their privacy and still be interested and have some anticipation. I don't know how things are on the ground in Britain, but the coverage hasn't seemed nearly as overboard as what's sometimes been seen in the past.

My husband could care less, but I'm really excited for the royal birth.
I was hoping it would be on our dog's birthday (July 13), since he is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with English bloodlines and a fabulous pedigree. That would have been fitting.
My husband rolled his eyes at that.

Any bets on the name?
I'm on record for James (if it's a boy) or Alexandra (if it's a boy), but hoping that Diana & Elizabeth are included in a girl's name.

I'm doubting James, only because of Hewitt, and the fact that the Earl of Wessex's son is also named James. I think Alexandra would be lovely, the DoK's sister is one of my favourite royals!

There's a story on Yahoo! that The DoC is being helicoptered to London, supposedly to go the hospital!

Well I am very excited about it! I think it is so romantic! I think it's going to be a girl and her name will be Victoria Diana.

One can only hope.

I would only assume that if it's a girl Diana will be in there somewhere. And possibly Elizabeth. I am sure it will be traditional. Boys could be less traditional, if they want to honor his mother the son could always be named Spencer (her maiden name).

In a weird way, I think it's kind of endearing how the Duchess continues to be pregnant past her due date (although that my change by the time I finish typing this). Every mom, whether rich, poor, royal or commoner, who saw her due date come and go with the baby staying put knows how the poor thing must feel!

I read once that Princesses Beatrice, Eugenie, and Louise were all denied the use of the name Elizabeth, as that would be reserved for a daughter in direct line to the throne. So, maybe Princess Elizabeth Diana Victoria?
And I, too, like the use of Andrew, especially since that's where they met! I'm so excited!
As an aside, when I know a woman is pregnant, I pray for her & the baby until the baby's born. I've been praying for this baby a LOT! That doesn't mean that I wouldn't pray for any of y'all who are (or become) pregnant - it's my honor to do so!

DH & I were just discussing a royal daughter, and we think that the best would be Princess Diana Olivia Victoria Elizabeth. England could use a DOVE!
Who am I kidding, as long as the baby's healthy, they can name it Prince Felix!
