It was only a few days ago that the world got its hopes up that Beyonce might be pregnant with baby number two. C'mon, we all want a little bro or sis for Blue Ivy! But, alas, Beyonce's hubby, Jay-Z, is putting the rumors to rest. For now. Jay-Z reportedly emailed the program director for a New York radio station with a succinct, "It's not true." Guess you told us, Jay! (Hey, next time just call us personally.)

Mom Delivers Triplets After 3 Tragic Pregnancy Losses & Offers Hope to Women Struggling to Conceive

There is no pain greater than the devastation of losing a child, which is something one mom from the U.K. knows all too well. Gemma Schollick, a mother of three, was beyond heartbroken in 2010 when her baby girl, who she had carried full-term, died in utero and was stillborn.

Gemma and the baby's father had planned on calling her Amelia, and you can only imagine their horror upon finding out she did not have a heartbeat and had lost her life in the womb.

And even though the loss of the baby was almost too much to bear, Gemma and her (now) husband decided to start trying for another child as soon as possible.

Woman's Unexpected Home Birth Should Take All Fears Out of Having a Baby

posted by Michele Zipp Tuesday at 3:52 PM in Pregnancy

Often it's fear that separates those who want birth at home or in the hospital. The fear that hospitals and some doctors seem to perpetuate. There are other factors, of course. For some birthing at home just isn't an option. But for others, it's an option they didn't even realize possible. That's what happened to Erica Bovino. She was home with her 3-year-old son Jack asleep in his bedroom and she was having contractions. Her husband, Paul Sulzicki, was on his way home from work. Erica called him after her water broke and she realized there wasn't time for her to get to Yale-New Haven Hospital.

The baby was ready to be born. She was going to have to do this alone -- she was going to have an unassisted, unexpected home birth in her bathroom.

ALL Co-sleeping Increases Risk of SIDS No Matter How Careful You Think You're Being

posted by Julie Ryan Evans Tuesday at 11:26 AM in Pregnancy

When it comes to co-sleeping and the dangers associated with it, many parents believe the benefits outweigh the risks of SIDS, especially because they're doing it the right way. They don't smoke, or drink alcohol, and or take drugs, so their babies shouldn't be at a higher risk ... or so they thought.

A new study, however, found that the risk of SIDS increases five-fold when parents share a bed with an infant, even if the parents don't smoke, drink alcohol, or take drugs -- even if the baby was breastfed. According to MedPage Today, the study found that 9 out of 10 SIDS births that involve co-sleeping would not have occurred if the parents weren't sharing a bed with their children. That's pretty sobering information.

Kim Kardashian's Pregnancy Is Finally Giving Her What She Deserves

Aww! Check out how stunning Kim Kardashian's baby bump looks in this precious little black dress she wore after Kanye West's Saturday Night Live performance in New York last weekend.

It's taken some time, but Kim has really gotten into a good groove with her pregnancy style, to the point where it's going to be pretty tough for anyone to give her a hard time about her growing body from this point forward. (And if they do, well -- that's just mean.)

OMG. How great is this dress? It hugs her curves in all the right places and really accentuates her bump perfectly. And I commend her for being brave enough to wear pantyhose. (Those can't be too comfy for a pregnant chick.)

Woman Pregnant for 7th Time Never Saw That Baby Coming

When a woman delivers her first child somewhere unexpected, we get how that could happen. When it happens with a second child we wonder why she didn't realize the symptoms of labor sooner. But when it's someone's seventh child, we assume that she's been there and done that so many times that she could probably predict her delivery time to the nearest minute.

Not so in the case of mom Teresa Moyer, whose baby girl just couldn't wait to come out. According to Fox 59, Moyer -- who already had six children at home -- was on her way to the hospital in Indiana, and thought she had plenty of time. The baby girl had ideas of her own, however, and gave her parents and an unlikely member of the hospital's staff quite a surprise.

New Simple Test Lets Women Figure Out Their Chances of Having a Baby

Making a baby isn't always easy. For some couples, they have sex and it just happens. For others, it takes time and even medical help. One of my friends has three beautiful kids that she was able to have through in vitro fertilization. The triplets are 6 years old now and fantastic little beings none of us can imagine our lives without. I remember the stress and pain she experienced when going through the process. But it was worth every second. Any couple who wants to have a baby and are having a hard time getting pregnant can attest to the pain and stress -- more than seven million people face some form of infertility, so that's a lot of people potentially considering IVF.

What if a new test can take some of that stress away? A personalized test to give you your chances of success with IVF has been invented.

6 Ways to Make Sure Your Baby Is the Gender You Want (PHOTOS)

Admitting that you have a gender preference when you are going for a baby is one of those crazy taboos that few people are willing to cop to. After all, some people say you ought to be grateful just to have ANY healthy baby. Of course we will, but some of us can't help but have SOME preference. Perhaps we already have two of one and are going for the third to get that other sex. Or maybe we want our kid to have a same (or opposite) sex sibling.

Whatever the reason, we have every right to wish and hope, and there is science that backs up the idea that we can actually have our way. Here are 6 different methods of choosing which sex you get during conception. Let us know if they work for you! See below:
