How far along do you think Kristin Cavallari is in her pregnancy? The former Laguna Beach star has remained mum (until now) about her due date, so it's basically been a guessing game thus far as to where she is in her pregnancy. Judging by her incredibly svelte figure and fairly small baby bump, I would have surmised that she was about six months pregnant or so, giving her a due date of sometime in July.

But no.

Kristin just revealed her due date, and OMG, she's tiny for how far along she is!

Mila Kunis' Baby's Gender Revealed & It Couldn't Be More Perfect

Mila Kunis' obvious baby bump may have been the talk of the night at the MTV Movie Awards this past weekend, but now we've got even MORE exciting news to fawn all over. Multiple sources confirm exclusively to Us Weekly that while Ashton Kutcher may be used to being one of Two and Half Men, he's going to have to get used to two ladies, because Ashton and Mila are having a baby girl! Awww!

Love it. You can just see these two with a little girl. Maybe it's because, as one of the couple's friends tells Us, Ashton "got plenty of practice with Demi's girls." So quickly we almost forget that the actor's already been a stepdad to Demi Moore and Bruce Willis' daughters 25-year-old Rumer, 22-year-old Scout, and 20-year-old Tallulah ...

Pregnant Women Shouldn't Panic Over Potential Culprit of Autism in Boys

It seems like every month, a new study points to a possible cause of autism. This week, research published in the online issue of Pediatrics out of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health notes that boys with autism were three times more likely to have been exposed to SSRI antidepressants (like Celexa, Lexapro, Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft, etc.) in the womb than typically developing children. The study also found that boys whose mothers took SSRIs during pregnancy were also more likely to have developmental delays.

To hear these conclusions is initally unnerving to say the least, considering how moms who face depression during pregnancy were already feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place.

A company recently put out an ad for a "Director of Operations" and deemed it the #worldstoughestjob. Don't believe it? Check out the requirements.

It requires you to work standing up most or all of the time. It's 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and holidays are even more demanding. There are no breaks. It requires experience in medicine, finance, and the culinary arts, and the constant monitoring of an associate. And most of all, it's completely unpaid.

Understandably, the applicants were a little uneasy when they heard about the details, but watch what happens when they learn that the job is already held by over one billion people:

10 Moms' Worst Fears About Having a Baby After 35

Savannah Guthrie is opening up about her pregnancy for the first time since announcing that she and her husband Michael Feldman are expecting a little one. The Today show host started a baby blog and, right off the bat, touched on one of the most emotional aspects of becoming a mom: The fact that at 42 years old, she "honestly didn’t know if she’d ever get the chance to be one." She goes on to write that she's "never been more thankful," in great part it seems because for a long time, she thinks she was afraid to even let herself think about how much she hoped to one day have a baby.

Any mom who has waited into her early 40s or even mid-30s to start trying can relate to Savannah. There are a slew of worries, concerns, and fears that women who start trying to conceive on the "later" side have. The good news is that they're not alone. Here, 10 "older" moms confess what they grappled with through trying to conceive, pregnancy, and motherhood ...

Pregnant Mom of 3 Dies After Surgeon Removes Her Ovary By Mistake

A pregnant mother of three, who was suffering from appendicitis, died when a surgeon-in-training mistakenly removed one of her ovaries instead of her appendix.

The 32-year-old woman was in her 21st week of pregnancy when she underwent an appendicitis surgery. Unfortunately, the surgeon had to feel for her appendix since she was far along into her second trimester and failed to remove the organ.

Maria De Jesus went home after the surgery, but she continued to have pains and returned to the hospital two weeks after the initial operation in even more discomfort. It was then that doctors discovered the previous surgeon's mistake.

Woman Accidentally Gets Pregnant With Another Couple’s Twins

Picture this. You're having trouble conceiving. You start undergoing fertility treatments. You finally get pregnant! You're happy. You're elated. You're going to be a mom! But then three months into your pregnancy, you find out that you were implanted with the wrong embryos. Oh, and P.S., you're pregnant with twins. You're pregnant with somebody else's twins.

Unfortunately, this isn't a hypothetical situation. It's a sad and confusing reality for one poor woman in Rome. At this point, there isn't a clear answer as to how exactly the mix-up happened, and USA Today reports that it's "unclear whether any other improper pregnancies resulted." The only information available now is that four couples received fertility treatments at the Sandro Pertini Hospital on December 4, and on March 27, Rome's health authorities learned that there was a "genetic incompatibility" between parents and embryos.
