Vogue Williams has revealed that her old anxiety trouble has been rearing it's head again since becoming pregnant. 

She and her fiancé, Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews are expecting their first child together. 

The 32-year-old model and TV presenter admitted in and interview that her pregnancy has aggravated her battle with anxiety. 

"I get quite bad anxiety and it's come back a bit while I've been pregnant," she told Closer magazine.  "I don't know why I have it – it's just general life anxiety. If I knew what it was about, that would be the first step in getting rid of it. But exercise keeps that in check and makes you feel better about yourself. It's more under control now than it has been in the past.''

But there are other side-affects of her pregnancy that she's happier to indulge in- cravings: 

''I'm having a lot of cravings – I can't get enough of dairy. Ice cream, milk, yoghurt, cheese – I want it all. Orange juice is also a big one – and, weirdly, my mum said she craved orange juice when she was pregnant with me.''

Williams, who was previously married to former Westlife member Brain McFadden, is already planning a family-filled future with Matthews. 

''We always wanted to have a baby before a wedding and obviously right now the baby is the priority. But I'm excited about getting married. It will probably be next year and we want a big party.

''In five years' time, I want to have had baby number two with Spencer. I want a family and I just want us to be happy, which I'm sure we will be.''

We have officially reached 'believing in conspiracy theories' section of Kylie Jenner's phantom pregnancy. 

On the one hand, we have all those grainy photos which appear to show the 20-year-old lip kit mogul heavily with child, that covered up Calvin Klein ad and the numerous 'quotes' from 'sources close to the family, and on the other we have approximately nothing from the Kardashian clan themselves. 

However, if we know Kris Jenner like we wish we did, we would think that the momager wouldn't let a little thing like a pregnancy announcement go buy without a sufficient amount of monetisation. 

So, if it was to be announced on KUWTK like Kim's, we wouldn't be surprised. 

Well, this nifty little hypothesis is backed up by some information about the episode titles of the new season of Keeping up with the Kardashians. 

Wikipedia shows that the season finale could be called We're Expecting. 

 

A post shared by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

Seeing as both Kim and Khloe have already announced their pregnancy news in the season, this led one Twitter account, Tabloid Art Culture, to point out that the season finale could be Kylie's time to shine. 

Obviously Wikipedia is not the most reliable source for information, but the site has been right about the season's episode titles so far. 

However, the account also speculates that the episode could actually be about big sister Khloe's pregnancy. 

With an updated synopsis being added for episode 18 which details the fact that Khloe is trying to keep her pregnancy secret from the public, it would be that episode 19 focuses on the Good American designer's Instagram announcement. 

The episode doesn't air on E! until February 25, so we still have a few weeks until we find out for sure. 

Seriously, we're cracking up here Kylie, we NEED to know.

IKEA's latest advert might just be its most creative, albeit completely bonkers, marketing strategy to date.

In a bizarre yet oddly clever attempt to promote the sale of baby cribs, the Swedish furniture retailer is asking its female customers to pee on its latest print ad.

Sounds pretty disgusting, we know – but hear us out.

The flyer, designed by advertising agency Åkestam Holst, actually contains chemicals similar to those found in home pregnancy tests.

The idea is that when a pregnant women urinates on the ad, the positive result will reveal a discount code for the advertised crib.

The unique ad was published in the latest edition of Amelia – one of Sweden's most influential female-focused magazines.

Speaking to AdWeek, the agency behind the campaign said: “In order to make the interactive functions of this ad work in reality, we had to make several technical advancements.”

“The pregnancy test strip was used as a starting point… Careful selection of materials, together with a controlled capillary flow have been crucial for the success of this project. Technical advancements made during the work with this campaign have the potential to improve medical diagnostics.”

So, what do you reckon? Absolutely gross or utterly genius?

Discovering you're pregnant can be one of the most exciting moments in a person's life. 

Khloé Kardashian appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to share how that special event played out.

'Tristan kept saying 'You're pregnant' and I was like: 'Be quiet. I'm not pregnant,'the 33-year-old told the talk show host.

 

A post shared by Khloé (@khloekardashian) on

'I was nauseous, not feeling well and then he had to leave the country and I took a pregnancy test… I was like, screaming. It's so weird and surreal,' she said excitedly.

Khloé can hardly walk down a street without being photographed, so getting her hands on a pregnancy test was a task in and of itself.

The mum-to-be sent out her 'trusty assistant' Alexa to get the test. For weeks on end, only Alexa and Tristan knew the good news.

 

A post shared by Khloé (@khloekardashian) on

The couple refrained from telling the rest of the Kardashian clan until Tristan was back in the States, as they wanted to spill the beans together.

The happy moment was captured Keeping Up With The Kardashians, of course. 

The show's crew actually knew that Khloé was pregnant before her own family. In a way, though, the crew are family as well.

'I've known the crew since 2007. We've had pretty much, essentially, the same crew. And they've been involved in so much of the best and the worst of our lives. And they keep quiet," the reality star shared.

Jimmy asked the TV personality if she's received any advice from her sisters or mum since they found out she's pregnant. Khloé said yes, but that 'a lot of it is, you know, unwanted'.

'Kourtney gives a lot of advice, and I think it's so sweet, but I don't want to do some of that stuff…It's either her way or no way,' she admitted.

Khloé said she and Kourtney been fighting a lot lately as a result, and that usually they 'never fight'. One point of contention was Khloé's desire to have a TV in her nursery.

 

A post shared by Khloé (@khloekardashian) on

She said her big sister thinks Khloé is 'the worst person ever for wanting a TV'.

Hopefully, though, they'll patch things up, as Kourtney and the rest of the fam are expected to be in the delivery room in Cleveland with Tristan and Khloé on the big day.

'I've been in the delivery room for all of their babies…I even witnessed Kylie being born from my mom,' the expecting mum shares.

She was only 13 years old at the time, and she said the experience was 'horrifying'.

If you're anything like us, the mystery of Kylie Jenner' pregnancy has been driving you up the walls for weeks. 

We felt sure that Kylie would reveal her baby news in the wake of big sister Khloe's amazing baby news, but alas, the wait for Kylie confirmation continues.

As Kylie has taken a side step out of the spotlight, and has refrained from sharing any snaps of herself on social media, it's boyfriend Travis Scott who has been fending off many of the pregnancy queries. 

 

A post shared by flame (@travisscott) on

The rapper has refused to comment on the matter and has remained seriously tight-lipped, but said more than usual in a recent interview with Billboard. 

When discussing family, Scott was asked if he had spoken to his father about becoming a father.

His elusive response? 'Uh… for what?'

 

A post shared by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

Now, that's not exactly the response we were looking for, but much like his gf, he's clearly playing hard-to-get on the baby revelation front. 

'There are these rumours that you’re dating Kylie and having a child with her…' the Billboard interviewer then asked. 

'I don’t want to talk about that,' responded Scott.

'They’re just guesses. Let them keep fishing.'

From Travis Scott's answers it would seem that the rumours arent true, but we've all seen those baby bump pictures…

Another day, another Kardashian / Jenner rumour.

With Kylie Jenner disappointing countless fans and followers by failing to confirm her reported pregnancy over Christmas, it seems social media users have turned their attention to her older sister, Kendall.

Following her decision to share a fairly low-key selfie on Instagram in recent days, Kendall has found herself the subject of intense speculation as Instagrammers debate the existence of a baby bump.

No, seriously.

Focussing on Kendall's midriff, fans of the 22-year-old suggested that she may follow in her older sister Khloe's footsteps by becoming the latest member of the reality TV family to announce a pregnancy.

And Kendall isn't having it.

Taking to Twitter to dismiss the rumours, Kendall insisted that the speculation surrounding her frankly non-existent tum was born of a food baby, writing: "I just like bagels OK!"

The tweet, which has amassed more than 130,000 likes, was inundated with responses from fans praising the speed with which Kendall responded to the speculation.

"It’s like they’ve never heard of a “food baby”. People need to calm down," wrote one.

"If you’re pregnant than I’m having twins…." added another.

We're with them on that.

New research from scientists at McGill University in Quebec, Canada shows that a large number of childless women tend to have been born to older mothers.

The data analysed came from 43,000 women. 

Strangely enough, the Human Reproduction-published study found fathers' ages had no significant effect on whether or not their daughters had children.

One important point to note, though, is the fact that scientists cannot prove if this correlation is due to whether these women struggled to conceive or if they consciously chose not to start a family.

"We had no knowledge of whether childlessness was intentional," the researchers noted, though they said that this link between childlessness and being born to an older mother was 'consistent'. 

However, the authors of the study still noted that 'evaluating the influence of maternal age at birth on offspring fertility is a public health priority'.

Peter Nagy, from the Reproductive Biology Associates in Atlanta, told the Guardian that age is something women planning to conceive should keep in mind, saying: "A mother’s reproductive age is important not only for herself but it will determine to a certain extent the chances of her daughter or daughters being infertile.

"When we are treating patients close to the age of 40, we are helping them get babies but, at the same time, these children will have a higher risk of becoming infertility patients."

The idea that a woman's fertility is related to her mother's health is not new.

Past studies have suggested that a woman's fertility can be predicted by the age at which her mother went through menopause. 

A 2012 study published in Human Reproduction found that levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and antral follicle count (AFC), both positive predictors for ovarian reserves, dropped faster in women whose mums experienced menopause earlier. 

This means that women whose mothers had menopause at an earlier age may struggle to conceive.

At this stage, KUWTK fans have reached a peak of desperation in their thirst for knowledge regarding Kylie Jenner's alleged pregnancy. 

The only person who can put us out of our misery is the woman herself (or Kris) and it doesn't seem like we'll be getting any answers any time soon. 

Fans have taken to analysing every detail of Ky's social media posts, searching for meaning and symbolism like we're back in Leaving Cert English Paper 1. 

 

A post shared by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

The reality TV star hosted Thanksgiving dinner for her family last week, and over the weekend, theories regarding one particular Snapchat post began to circulate. 

Kourtney Kardashian uploaded a snap of Kylie's Thanksgiving cookies to her Snapchat that had fans in a frenzy. 

The rice krispy treats were made to resemble turkeys, but one turkey in particular caught our eye (thanks to Kourt's handy arrow). 

One turkey seems to have a pregnancy belly, unlike the rest. 

Fans are seeing this an a sign that Kylie really is with child. 

However, others think that perhaps the pregnant turkey is in homage to big sister Kim, who is expecting a baby via surrogate early next year. 

 

A post shared by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

Another theory is that Kylie has been consistently hinting at the sex of her imminent arrival thought the prolific use of pink on her social media.

Thanksgiving was no different, with a pink theme for the decorations. 

Could they just tell us already?
