When the baby you're expecting dies just a few days before he or she is due it's devastating for the parents. You mourn. You wonder how to go on with your life. And then -- there's something I'd never thought about before: There's all the beautiful baby gifts and gear that will never be used by the child who just died.

A Dad told a story about the stuff left behind when his daughter died. His wife was staying a few days in the hospital, and he wanted to quickly clear their apartment of the baby gear. It would only make her heartbreak worse. There was the big, expensive stroller he had just bought at Babies 'R' Us. It was still in its box. He would have to return it. It symbolized so much to him.

There were many beautiful women walking the red carpet last night at the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards, but one lady I couldn't keep my eyes off of was the very adorable, very pregnant Cougar Town star, Busy Philipps. The 33-year-old mama looked absolutely perfect in her all-black, long-sleeved gown, which had a small train trailing behind. Yes, I thought. That is exactly how you do super pregnant on the red carpet.

In last night's episode of Downton Abbey (SPOILER ALERT! Oh what the hell, you've all seen it by now, right?), a certain very pregnant character dies from eclampsia. It was a gruesome, heartbreaking death, too. I'm still not over it. Julian Fellows, you sadist! But anyway, through the whole episode, I kept wondering ... what exactly is eclampsia?

I remember during my pregnancy hearing a lot of talk about watching for the signs of preeclampsia. And then pretty much five seconds after my son was born, I forgot all about what preeclampsia and eclampsia are. So just to refresh my memory, I looked into what exactly these dangerous conditions are, the warning signs, and what doctors can do about them.

I'm not Barney ... thank goodness.I'm totally loving this idea. A woman in Bristol, England was allowed to bring her therapy dog into the hospital with her -- who then stayed by her side as she gave birth. The dog, a Labrador named Barney, was allowed inside the room where the unnamed woman gave birth to a baby. Barney is a certified therapy dog and the woman got permission from higher-ups at the hospital. But some cranky non-pet-loving types are complaining about it, natch. Way to ruin everyone's fun.

Everyone, please meet Holly Madison's adorable baby girl! Well, actually she hasn't been born, yet. But the former Playboy playmate and Girl Next Door star painted a big smiley face on her pregnant belly so we can just imagine. "Hey guys! I took this pic of the baby bump this morning -- smiling just for you!" she posted in her blog. "Hope you're having a great weekend."

Is someone getting a little punchy during her last trimester? Waiting for that baby to finally arrive can make you a little batty. We start talking to our bellies. And it looks like not only is Holly darn proud of her baby-to-be, she's maybe also a little anxious to have that girl already. I'm just guessing here.

I'm just gonna come out and say it here: The end of pregnancy. Not the most fun of times. You're huge. You're tired. And finding a comfortable sleeping position is pretty much impossible. So any nice, thoughtful thing someone may do for you during that time is a god send -- especially when it comes from a stranger. And especially when it's in the form of free food. Some extremely kind soul who works at a Red Robin did just this recently. He or she (identity still remains under wraps) comped a very pregnant woman's meal, citing a "manager's promo", writing on the receipt: "MOM 2 BEE GOOD LUC!" How touched would you be if you were on the receiving end of such a sweet act if you were thisclose to giving birth? It isn't every day this kind of thing happens.

Residents of one Southern California suburb are mad as hell about "anchor babies" and they are not going to take any more. They are standing united in protest against a hilltop home that they believe is serving as a maternity center for Chinese mothers who are paying thousands of dollars, to give birth to their babies here in the United States.

An "anchor baby" is a baby born to non-American citizens in the United States in order to gain American citizenship. It is a practice that infuriates many, including the residents of this California town where many of these mothers live until they give birth.

Big news for those of you who wonder about pregnant nookie. You've heard that semen contains prostaglandin, right? Or that an orgasm can release it? Well, I guess they don't muster quite enough prostaglandin to trigger labor. Apparently, sex doesn't induce labor after all.

Researchers in Malaysia invited 1,100 women who were 35 to 38 weeks pregnant to, well, have at it with their baby-daddies. They told half to "have sex frequently." They gave no directions to the other half, only told them that while sex during pregnancy is safe the effects are unknown. And after all that whoopie, none of it seemed to make a difference.
