Congrats to them; although this child seems like it was probably more an expectation than a pleasant surprise.

My mother is suspicious that if it turns out it's a girl, she's going to suddenly and mysteriously miscarry since it's all about heir to the throne and that crap, and you do have to wonder if there's any truth to it.

No you don't.
Due to a dramatic change in the rules of succession, the royal couple's first-born will likely be the heir to the throne, regardless of the baby's gender.
Last year, the heads of 16 Commonwealth countries agreed to a change in the rules of succession so that first-born children of either gender can take the throne. Queen Elizabeth II was only eligible to be monarch because her father had no male children. The British Parliament must still amend existing law to make the succession change official.
"Put simply, if the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were to have a little girl, that girl would one day be our queen," British Prime Minister David Cameron told reporters in 2011.

I heard that on the news the other day, the sex does not matter now. I am a bit confused, I thought Charles was next in line and after him his son William?

I thought so too, Tony. If he's not... . I can tell you this. Whomever it is, they're not in line to be King or Queen of England.
