Jamie Lynn Spears will give birth to a baby girl later today, say reports.

According to the National Enquirer, Jamie Lynn has scheduled a cesarean section with doctors because the baby is apparently in the breach position.

Britney Spears sparked rumours that the baby was due by flying home to Kentwood, Louisiana earlier this week.

Britney's father Jamie and brother Bryan were also on the flight from Los Angeles.

It is rumoured that Jamie Lynn's baby will be named Cailynn or Cassie.
