Isn't pregnancy supposed to be the one time in your life when you really don't have to worry about being all emotional and moody? I mean, I totally used the whole "Leave me alone, I'm pregnant!" excuse whenever I lashed out at my husband for no good reason got a little bit snippy with people to justify the fact that I sounded like a complete nutcase. Was that wrong?

Pregnancy brings many forms of stress and worry, and now there is a chance that all of that stress and worry will only give you one more thing to stress and worry about. Gah!

And now a new study shows that your overall mood during pregnancy can have an effect on your baby's development!

Cancer during pregnancy: three little words that probably strike fear into every mother's heart. None of us expect to receive a cancer diagnosis when we're expecting a child, but it happens: about 1 in 1,000 women face this terrifying situation during their pregnancy—and doctors believe these numbers will grow, since the risk of cancer rises with age and more women are delaying having children.

For pregnant women, cancer treatment options have often seemed like a horrible gamble. Start treatment right away, exposing the unborn baby to toxic drugs? Delay treatment until after birth, and potentially compromise the mother's health? In the past, some doctors have chosen to deliver the baby early—and some may even recommend termination.

A recent study seems to offer some encouraging news for pregnant cancer patients, and one researcher says he hopes the study changes how doctors approach treatment.

Khloe Kardashian is the favorite sister of many for a lot of reasons, but primarily because she's so honest and so relatable. She may a Kardashian, but she doesn't live in a fairytale, and she doesn't try to make us believe she does ... until it comes to her struggles with infertility.

She recently made some comments that sound so positive and just like what any good friend would tell her to boost her spirits. But they also don't ring especially true. She told People recently that she's relieved she's hasn't gotten pregnant yet.

It used to drive me nuts when women told me their pregnancy horror stories when I was pregnant. I wanted to plug my ears and instead hear the whislting of birds and envision a beautifully serene labor that resulted in my adorable twins popping out in a rainbow of light. Still, it does help to be informed but just not in a freak-out kind of way. Which leads me to preeclampsia.

Nearly 100,000 women die each year from this deadly pregnancy disease, with up to 20 percent of pregnant women getting it. Yet the only cure is to 'terminate' the pregnancy, which means women who are diagnosed early often have to deliver very premature babies.

More needs to be done, and apparently researchers in Australia have made some new discoveries that could lead to better treatment or a cure so moms can have healthy pregnancies that go to term. 

While some say a little in moderation is okay, most in the medical profession agree that by and large drinking alcohol while pregnant is potentially dangerous to a baby's health. So we might as well just go ahead and ban pregnant women from even buying alcohol, right?

That's what lawmakers in South Africa want to do. According to IOL News, draft legislation of the Gauteng Liquor Bill would include a ban on selling alcohol to "minors, anyone wearing a school uniform, anyone who 'reasonably appears to be intoxicated', or pregnant women."

It's outrageous in so many ways, it's hard to know where to begin.

It was go, granny, go, as an Ohio woman attempted to rush her daughter, who was in labor, to the hospital. Around 4 a.m. Tuesday morning, Donna Richmond was clocked going 90 miles per hour in her mission to make sure her grandchild was born safely in the hospital as planned.

Only her plan was thwarted, as a police officer stopped her for speeding. “I knew I was going fast, I didn’t know I was going that fast,” Donna Richmond told WBNS-TV. When the officer approached the car, Debbie Richmond called out from the backseat, "I'm in labor!"

Thankfully, the officer let them off with a warning. But it was too late.

When it comes to pregnancy, the Internet can be a vast source of helpful knowledge, but it can also be a tricky terrain laden with landmines of myths, misinformation, and anxiety-inducing anecdotes that will just cause you to freak out for no reason. That's why it's concerning that almost 20 percent of pregnant women use the Internet as their primary source of information about their pregnancy.

That doesn't mean 20 percent surf the web here and there, but a small study from the University of Cartuja in Spain rather found that this large percentage of women get MOST of their information from the web. Knowing what's out there, that's kind of scary.

"Is that really a good idea?" The first line of this Mail Online piece on Chris Hemsworth's wife Elsa Pataky seems to answer its own question, since the article goes on to excitedly describe how Pataky "plummeted" down a steep waterslide "just hours after announcing pregnancy."

My god, watersliding during pregnancy. Next thing you know she'll be exercising, taking baths, going outside during a full moon, or raising her hands above her head. OH, THE HUMANITY.
