UK tabloid the Mirror came up with a memorable headline after rumours of the Duchess of Cambridge having gone into labour proved untrue.
Social networking site Twitter was flooded with suggestions on Thursday afternoon that the royal had gone into labour, Stuff.co.nz reported.
The Mirror wrote in an online headline that 'Kate is not in labour - but Twitter is having Braxton Hicks contractions ahead of royal baby's arrival.'
Braxton Hicks contractions are irregular, usually painless uterine contractions that tend to occur from around the middle of your pregnancy and increase in frequency as your due date nears.
