coleen rooneyColeen Rooney is reportedly considering giving birth by Caesarean so her husband Wayne Rooney won’t have to choose between the birth of their first child and playing in a World Cup qualifying match.

Coleen confirmed her pregnancy earlier this month and has been given the 10th October as her due date - the same day as England are scheduled to play the Ukraine.

A source close to the couple has told the Sun that Coleen has been talking to doctors about opting for a surgical birth a few days earlier: “Both of them are so excited about the baby.

“But Coleen didn’t want to be worrying about whether Wayne would be there or not - so she is being super-organised and has already pencilled in the date for the operation.”

The source added that the date would be confirmed after Coleen’s 20 week scan at the end of next month.
