It's going to be a busy 2016 for Maci Bookout and her partner Taylor McKinney, as the pair are set to welcome a third child into their home later this year.

Teen Mom OG star Maci confirmed the happy news yesterday on Instagram, sharing a Valentine's snap with her bump clearly on show.

"#makingmoremoneys baby boy coming soon!" Maci wrote alongside the sweet photo of herself and Taylor.

The 24-year-old also hinted that her third baby could be the final new arrival for her, adding the hashtag #lastbutnotleast to her post.

And while three might be the magic number for some, Maci told MTV News over the weekend that her latest pregnancy was a total surprise.

"I found out I was pregnant with baby number three right after we got engaged,” she explained.

"It was not expected or a planned pregnancy."

The expectant mum says she has no pregnancy nerves this time around – she already has seven-year-old Bentley from her relationship with Ryan Edwards, and one-year-old Jayde with Taylor – and is excited for what's to come.

"Because it’s the third one, you know what’s going on. You’ve been there, done that a couple times now, so it’s sort of laid back," she says.

We can't wait to see Maci's new arrival!

21 weeks into her term, expectant mother Pippa O' Connor has shared a happy update of her pregnancy in a post to her website.

The blogger, model and mother-of-one revealed that she had her halfway scan today and was accompanied by her 2-year-old son, Ollie. 

The 31-year-old, who is married to television personality Brian Ormond, was relieved to find that everything was going to plan. 

"Everything went well thankfully. Even when you’ve nothing to worry about specifically I think it’s normal for expectant mothers to be a little anxious."

Despite not holding back during the Christmas period, Pippa revealed that she is feeling healthy and happy at less than four months away from her due date. 

"Bump-wise I definitely feel a bit neater this time. (I do not know how after Christmas! My god I was such a piggy!!)."

"I’m still feeling well and have no complaints on that end."

We even got a glimpse of the baba from a snap of scan as seen on Pippa's Snapchat. 

While everything is going to plan, Pippa is starting to feel some discomfort but only has one minor complaint. 

"My only complaint- and it’s not even a complaint as really I’ve been so lucky… But It’s my skin, I’m getting constant break outs around my chin."

Even though she does not yet know the sex of the baby, she is looking for some name inspiration already. 

"Oh and baby names… We haven’t one boy or girl name that I’m set on at the moment. I better get my thinking cap on. Any tips on baby name inspiration?"

She's made no secret of her desire to start a family with her husband Adam Shulman – and now multiple sources are reporting that Anne Hathaway is indeed pregnant.

Most telling of all, however, is the Oscar-winning actress's noticeable baby bump – which was in plain sight as she stepped out with her producer spouse in Beverly Hills earlier this week. 

"Anne is in her second trimester and feeling great!" one friend told E! News [where you can also view her bump].

It is thought that New York native has now begun to joyously spread the word among family and close friends.

Back in September at the London premiere of her forthcoming film The Intern, rumour was already abound that she was expecting – but she refused to confirm or deny the speculation. 

However, another friend earlier today stated: "Anne still felt it was early days in September and was happier waiting another few weeks before spreading the good news.

"That and she really didn't want to have one of those long, drawn-out celebrity pregnancies.

"Both she and Adam are quite private and she made the decision to keep everything under wraps for as long as possible."

It is believed that the 33-year-old is due sometime in March.

Last year, while promoting Rio 2, she said: "I’ve wanted to be a mother since I was 16, but I also just knew I wanted to have a career as well.

"So now I think that I’m getting to an age when I don’t know exactly when that moment will be but I think I’m coming upon it."

She and Adam, 34, married in California in September 2012 – with Anne wearing a striking pink-tinged Valentino gown.

She faced huge difficulties in trying to conceive, and has a full medical team on standby in case of an emergency during labour.

So it's no surprise that Kim Kardashian is doing everything possible to avoid any further complications while giving birth.

The reality star revealed last night that her baby son, who's due in late December, is currently in breech.

As a result, Kim is likely to have to have a C-section, but she's going to some fairly extreme lengths to avoid getting one.

"I've learned that you actually can deliver a breech baby and I feel fortunate that my doctor Paul Crane is one of the few doctors that still does this," Kim said of her unorthodox birthing plan. 

"They just don't even teach it anymore. Paul was my mom's doctor and delivered me! So I know I'm in the best care."

While delivering her baby in breech is indeed on the cards, Kim is trying some oh so bizarre methods to get her little one to turn by himself before the birth, as she revealed last night on her official website.

"I have been doing everything I can to try to turn the baby. I lie practically upside down three times a day for 15 minutes.

"I play music in the right position and ice my belly in certain spots to get him to squirm out of the breech position.

"I even started acupuncture where I burn moxa [mugwort] on my pinky toe every day!"

Of course, if those don't work, Kim may be able to rely on her own mental powers, as she's revealed she's also turned to "hypnosis" to help her along.

Despite her determination to avoid a C-section, Kim says she'd never go so far as to put her new baby's health at risk.

"Obviously, if it's an emergency and for the safety of my son, I will get a C-section – but if I don't need one, I'd rather not," she explained.

It’s always tough for a well-known face or name to keep their pregnancy under wraps – as Pippa O’Connor knows well.

Already a mum to toddler Ollie, yesterday the model and businesswoman announced she was expecting her second child.

Now at the 12-week mark – and previously eager to keep gossip to a minimum – Pippa revealed to SHEmazing! this afternoon that she has been forced to scale back on her social media activity.

"I haven't been using Snapchat or Instagram as much over the past few months because I didn't want people to talk or speculate," said Pippa.

"I found it hard because I've got so many events where I'm on stage. People had seen me going in and out of hospital and were starting to tweet me so I was like I better just say.

"Not that it's a massive deal, but you want to tell people yourself."

We caught up with the 30-year-old, who is now three months pregnant, at the Centra Christmas launch, and she revealed that she even kept her pregnancy a secret from her two-year-old son, Ollie.

"He repeats everything these days so I couldn't risk him saying something to the wrong person," she told us. 

Pippa admitted that the big news has only really hit her today. "It doesn't feel real until everyone knows because no one's saying it, today's the first day that it feels like, 'Oh I'm having a baby!' she laughed. 

The star doesn't know whether she is having a boy or a girl yet and is planning on keeping the sex a surprise until she is due, next May. She added that she will be "thankful as long as the baby is OK."

Ms O'Connor also revealed that she will have a packed house this Christmas as her family are all staying there for the festivities. "There will be about six adults and four children under four-years-old.. so it'll be a bit mental."

And when asked what she will be cooking, Pippa admitted that she will be heading straight to her nearest Centra.

"It have such a good range in store and there's so much to choose from… I will definitely be buying some of that gorgeous Christmas ham and brussel sprouts!"

Stepping out for the first time since announcing that she is expecting her first child, Chrissy Teigen looked predictably gorgeous at a Hollywood event earlier this week.

And while we’ve examined the resulting pictures for even the tiniest hint of a baby bump – alas, we’ve found that one is lacking.

Yup, the 29-year-old model’s tum appears to be totally flat.

Married to singer John Legend for a little over two years, Chrissy wore a stunning, ankle-length dress with strappy silver shoes and a metallic clutch.

She kept her accessories simple, and wore her hair slicked back off her face.

Attending the swish Le Mer Celebration Of An Icon event – Chrissy was joined by the A-lister likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson and Nicole Richie.

Ms Teigen and Mr Legend announced she was pregnant via an adorable social media post earlier this week – delighting their many fans.

She has previously spoke about her struggles to conceive, admitting that she and John had “seen fertility doctors”.

Ms Teigen also explained how painful it was when people questioned her about their plans to start a family.

“I can't imagine being that nosy to be like,” she added. “Who knows what somebody's going through?”

Actress Hayden Panettiere has checked into a treatment facility for postnatal depression, her rep confirmed last night.

The Nashville star is "voluntarily seeking professional help at a treatment center as she is currently battling postpartum depression," according to a statement given to Us Weekly.

"She asks that the media respect her privacy during this time."

The 26-year-old, who is engaged to boxer Wladimir Klitschko, gave birth to her first daughter Kaya in December 2014.

Hayden recently spoke out about her experience with postnatal depression, in an attempt to reassure other women that they were not "alone or crazy." 

She added that there was a lot of fear and confusion surrounding the condition.

"It’s something that’s completely uncontrollable. It’s really painful and it’s really scary and women need a lot of support,” she said during a TV appearance last month.

Hayden also emphasised that the experience of postnatal depression can vary for different people.

"When [you’re told] about postpartum depression you think it’s ‘I feel negative feelings towards my child, I want to injure or hurt my child.' I’ve never, ever had those feelings," she said.

"Some women do. But you don’t realise how broad of a spectrum you can really experience that on."

Just four days ago, Hayden tweeted a positive message to fans, calling her daughter a "blessing" and saying she finally felt like she was "coming back in to my own body."

Wishing Hayden all the best with her treatment.

She enjoyed a remarkably low-key pregnancy – and Claudine Keane has now given birth to her and her husband’s second child.

Congratulations to the entire family!

An announcement on Robbie’s Facebook page confirmed that the little one had arrived safe and sound.

“Robbie and Claudine Keane are delighted to announce the birth of their gorgeous baby boy,” the post read.

The statement added that their son “was born at 7pm on the 5th of October weighing 8lbs at the Cedars Sinai hospital LA.

“Mum and baby are doing great. Robert is already enjoying his new role as big brother.”

The couple’s elder son is now six-and-a-half and attends school in Los Angeles, where the Keane family has lived since Robbie signed with LA Galaxy in 2011.

Robbie, 35, and Claudine, 32, both hail from Dublin and married there in the summer of 2008.

They were spotted on the red-carpet at the ESPYs in July – a few weeks before she confirmed she was expecting.

“It’s a good lifestyle,” Ms Keane has previously said of living in California.

“It’s very relaxed for the family. Lots to do outdoors, especially with my son. He likes going to the beach.”

Having only confirmed her pregnancy a month ago, it seems Sam Faiers won't be stopping anytime soon. 

The soon-to-be mum has been promoting the latest of her cosmetics from her burgeoning beauty empire – and looks smoking hot in a new campaign. 

Sam, who already has an eye lash range and two fragrances, has now unveiled a new tan line, called Glow

The former TOWIE star said she wanted her tan to stand out from the rest and has designed her product with rose gold packaging, which she says is "perfect for any beauty lover's bathroom."

The reality star has certainly sky rocketed her career since leaving the show behind. As well as launching a fitness site, Sam has also been busy shooting her latest fashion collection for Very's Christmas campaign. 

And if that wasn't enough, she has also only been getting to grips with her new pregnancy. 

"Maternity jeans are a godsend… They're comfy and thanks to the elasticated waist, I am wearing mine everyday."

Kate Middleton definitely nabbed the title for tiniest celeb baby bump during both her 2013 and 2015 pregnancies.

However, it seems there is now a new contender for her crown: namely, Coco Austin. 

The model was attending one of her 57-year-old husband's gigs yesterday when she posted a snap to Twitter.

Donning skin-tight white jeans, towering shoes and a blue chiffon shirt, Coco looked FAR from anything near her third trimester.

Using the hashtag #28weeks and an emoji of a baby's bottle, the 36-year-old wrote: Chilling baby… I'm just chillin… Backstage at BC concert supporting my man… Thats how I roll."

And her streamlined appearance didn't go unnoticed by fans. 

"How in the HELL are u wearing those heels at 28 weeks?? You look great though," said one, while another stated: "wow, you don't look like ur even showing."

A third fan offered: "Coco you are so blessed to have such a little baby bump. The less stretching the better. You are flawlessly rocking mommyhood." 

Married for 13 years, she and rapper Ice T are expecting their first child together, a girl whom they have said they will name Chanel, before the end of the year.

Muttering that she is expecting her second child – a sibling for three-year-old Blue Ivy – never seem far away.

Indeed, earlier this week when bikini snaps emerged of the star on a family holiday in Italy, Beyonce was hit with a fresh round of pregnancy gossip.

However, she has now answered the rumours in rather spectacular fashion: holding aloof a chilled glass of champagne.

Significantly, she has left the snap captionless, allowing the image itself to do all the talking.

The 34-year-old and her rapper husband, Jay Z, are currently on the Almafi coast (a favourite spot of theirs), enjoying time on a luxurious yacht.

Ms Knowles has been particularly candid with her holiday album too – sharing numerous snaps of her and her family during their well-earned break abroad.

As well as pictures capturing their stunning surroundings, the multi Grammy Award-winner can be seen lounging around with a floral head-dress.

Meanwhile, one black-and-white snap shows Jay gazing out at the Mediterranean Sea. And in a more recent video, she and her gorgeous family can been seen dancing around their villa while eating fruit.

With 45.7million, Beyonce remains some half a million Instagram followers behind first placed Kim Kardashian – who now boasts 46.3million fans on the social media platform.

The news broke back in July: Louis Tomlinson was expecting his first child.

The mother-to-be is 23-year-old LA-based stylist Briana Jungwirth – and although the duo are no longer in a relationship, both were said to be overjoyed as the prospect of impending parenthood.

Still, since the pregnancy was made public, countless fans have argued that the whole thing is entirely FAKE – construed to cover-up Louis's relationship with bandmate Harry Styles. 

And while One Direction must have to take daily gossip in their stride – it seems this particular rumour has proved rather more unsettling. 

In fact, Liam Payne has now publicly spoken of his anger relating to the matter.

“He’s very happy about becoming a dad.

"But the funny thing is, there are some people out there who think that Louis getting Briana pregnant is fake,” the One Directioner acknowledged to Attitude magazine during a recent interview. 

"And that’s the sort of sh** that gets to me.

"But you have to hold your tongue and that’s fine. I mean, it’s not really any of my business anyway.”

The baby will arrive early next year, and Louis is said to be looking for houses in the Kardashian-approved neighbourhood of Calabasas, where Briana's family live.

Although Louis and Briana were never officially a couple, they did enjoy several dates in May, just weeks after the singer broke up with his girlfriend of four years, Eleanor Calder.
