Test To Predict Miscarriage
A test to predict a pregnant woman's chances of miscarrying - that can be done at six weeks - has been developed by a Sydney doctor. The Daily Telegraph says: "Associate Professor George Condous designed the test, which is about 80 per cent accurate, to reassure women their pregnancy is progressing well. Professor Condous used data from more...

Week 40: My Water Birth
I'm overjoyed to announce the birth of our daughter Lucinda born on Monday, three days past her due date. She's a whopping 4.33kg and 55cm of pure scrumptiousness, with her daddy's long legs and the chubbiest cheeks since Chubby Checker. As for how she got here? I can thank Anna Wintour. Resigned to being overdue, I made plans to see Vogue do...

Week 39: The Longest Pre-Labour Ever!
As I write this I am having irregular contractions every three-six minutes apart. I'm not getting too excited though — I've had similar symptoms almost every night for the past week. But then they stop and I head to bed, wondering if I'm going to be woken up by a sudden gush of waters at 3am. To say that such a long pre-labour is frustrating i...

Week 38: Ready to Pop
The final last weeks of pregnancy drag by, hour by tedious hour, until you think the baby is never going to come and it's time to attempt a home caesarean. Unlike those women whose waters break spontaneously and kicktstart a fast labour, my body likes to tease me with signs of pre-labour for weeks and weeks: strong braxton hicks 'practice' contr...

Come On Halle, Just Tell Us You’re Pregnant!
Is Halle Berry pregnant? Sure, even if she is, it’s technically none of our business, but that usually doesn’t stop us from asking. That’s the way we roll around here. Some believe she is possibly pregnant again, but I’m not seeing it. And trust me, I’ve done my fair share of ohmigoshlookaththatloosefittingtopshemustbepregnant shri...

Gasp! Kristen Stewart Went To The Doctor
Kristen Stewart added more fuel to the pregnancy rumour fire yesterday. She ran errands with her mum in the L.A. area, but started the day off at a local medical building. They have doctors' offices in those buildings. Doctors that see pregnant girls. They also have other kinds of doctors there too, I know, but it’s not nearly as fun. Real...

Josh And Fergie Have Entered Planning Stages
Is there any truth to the rumours that Fergie and Josh Duhamel are fighting? They’ve been married less than a year so it’s entirely possible. They have to be having some growing pains. I was under the impression from the kajillion articles we’ve written about them, that they were going to wait until Fergie is done with her tour in October....
