    You have more in common with British royalty than you think. As the world is well aware, Duchess Kate and Prince William are expecting their first heir to arrive this July. She has fame, fortune and access to everything under the sun, but that means little when you are a first-time mom. Kate is worried about the exact same things as every other mom-to-be -- baby weight, staying healthy, and trying to figure out how the hell to care for a newborn. Definitive proof that having a baby is the great equalizer among women, don't you think? And you won't believe the simple (and low cost!) tools and tricks Kate is using to get through her pregnancy and prep for life as a new mom.

    As thrilling as pregnancy is, it also comes with a lot of worrisome symptoms. Extreme morning sickness, painfully swollen breasts and feet, and sciatica are all par for the course. Though, one of the scariest things some moms-to-be experience is unexpected bleeding. It's a frightening moment. However, doctors say there are many reasons this can happen and, while it can be gravely serious, it doesn't always lead to losing a baby. Take a look at the 11 causes of bleeding during pregnancy and what it means for you and your baby.

    Some of us get pregnant and we think everything is going to be beautiful and natural and wonderful and perhaps we'll even birth in a beautiful field while butterflies flutter overhead. And it is that lovely for some, and I do wish it was that easy for all. But it's not. Complications are rare (we hope) but if they do arise we need to do something about them ... and it's why I praise modern medicine. It saved my life because I had HELLP syndrome, the evil cousin of preeclampsia, both of which can be life-threatening and terribly frightening.

    More needs to be done on why women get preeclampsia because a few women I know, myself included, didn't fit the model of why pregnant moms get it. But a new study could shed some light on the issue and it's the air. Yes, the air we breathe can increase your risk of getting a potentially life-threatening pregnancy condition.

    Well, finally, someone has said what we're all thinking: I hope to god Kim Kardashian doesn't have a girl! Can you imagine what Kris Jenner will do with her?! And that person is (reportedly allegedly rumoredly) none other than Kim's baby's daddy, Kanye West. One of those trusty sources told Celeb Dirty Laundry:

    He’s got his heart set on having a son. He’s always wanted a little boy. He wants to spoil him rotten but also teach him a lot. He wants his son to be great so hopefully he’ll be able to have a little guy.

    Oh wait. That said nothing about Kris Jenner. But let's just act like it did, shall we? Because who could blame the guy if he really WAS thinking that.

    Jenelle Evans' pregnancy is over. The Teen Mom hinted earlier this week that husband Courtland Rogers had taken off while she was suffering a possible miscarriage, and now it's happened.

    An unnamed friend confirmed to Radar that Jenelle lost the baby this morning while former fiance Gary Head -- who popped back up in Jenelle's life just this past week -- has been tweeting from her hospital bedside. It's the worst news to come out of what's been a record bad week for the Teen Mom 2 star. Her marriage is ending, and now she has to deal with the aftermath of losing a baby while the public watches.

    Kim Kardashian is only about three months along in her pregnancy, but already the judgy types are out in full force, saying what a terrible mother she'll make. Of course, she doesn't really help her own cause.

    On the last episode of Kourtney and Kim Take Miami, Kim blasted her sister Kourtney for being boring, wearing yoga pants in the afternoon, and being overly devoted to her two kids to the exclusion of everything else. She then thanked god she wasn't a mother. Bad timing, Kim. Baaaad timing. But does every mom have to be the all-hands-on-deck-give-up-everything-else mom that Kourtney is?

    Long before the world knew The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, was pregnant -- in fact, long before even most of the Royal Family knew -- her beautician had a clue. A major clue. A clue so damn she's gotta be preggo that I'm surprise the beautician didn't sell her scoop for one beeellyun dollars. There's a few things that a lot of women stop as soon as they find out they're with child. Drinking alcohol. Smoking. But how could a beautician know? The naturally brunette Kate doesn't dye her hair. But she does get a little work done -- a little beauty prep that I think most of us will be shocked to find out she gets.

    Poor Kim Kardashian. She's just now finding out that pregnancy is, like, hard and stuff. She says it's going fine so far. "I've felt no morning sickness but it isn't the easiest. People always say pregnancy is so easy and fun. It's definitely an adjustment. It's learning about your body, but I've felt really good."

    Okay, who are these "people" who are always saying pregnancy is so easy and fun? I would like to meet these people, because as far as my own personal circle of friends and family is concerned, pregnancy has been easy and fun for exactly zero women. Ladies, who has been giving Kim this bogus information? Who does she know who's actually been preg -- OH! Kourtney!
