From the Sun:

David Beckham rushed frantic wife Victoria to hospital in a scare over their unborn baby.

Posh Spice Victoria complained she could not feel the tot moving - just two weeks before she is due to give birth.

England captain David drove her to the maternity unit at Macclesfield District General Hospital, Cheshire, on Sunday afternoon.

And Victoria, 28, wept tears of joy after medics listened to the tot's heartbeart with a monitor and pronounced the unborn girl perfectly healthy.

A source said:

"When she arrived she looked very worried and stressed. She couldn't feel the baby moving in the womb.

"When she heard the heart beating she was so relieved she burst into tears. She was very emotional about it.

"All sorts of worries must run though someone's head when they are pregnant.

"Kids were chasing after Beckham's car as it drove through the town."
Posh also confirmed she plans to have the baby by Caesarean at London's Portland Hospital on September 1.

The date was fixed so David, 27, can be at the birth between matches.

It is the hospital where Posh gave birth to son Brooklyn in March 1999.

A friend said: "David is a loving husband and dad and he will be there for Victoria for the arrival of their second child. They are both very excited and happy."

The couple have denied claims they will call the baby girl Paris.
