Celebrities and Pregnancy

Pregnant | posts

very pregnant Cate Blanchett on the red carpet
A very pregnant Cate Blanchett in 2008 — not pregnant during the same time as me, but she’s fabulous so let’s go with her picture…

Do you remember which celebrities were pregnant at the same time as you? There was a recent tweet from the NYT’s Jessica Grose that I thought was interesting:

Rihanna’s happy news reminds me of a theory that I have about how you always remember the celebs pregnant at the same time as you. Mine were Snooki and Gisele Bundchen, jealous of those of you who get Rihanna

— Jessica Grose (@JessGrose) February 1, 2022

I am racking my brain and cannot remember which celebrities were pregnant at the same time as me. Which is weird, since it’s normally the kind of thing I feel like I would remember. With my first son, two of my closest friends and I were pregnant at the same time (due dates in July, July, and August) — so maybe that filled the void for celebrity pregnancies.

With my second son, I think I was maybe just so tired? My first son was in daycare by that point, so the whole house was catching a ton of colds (I still blame daycare), and I just remember feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by everything — perhaps too much to scroll social media for pregnant celebrities.

I just Googled celebrity babies born in 2011 — I vaguely remember Rachel Zoe being pregnant at the same time, along with a lot of other celebrities who seemed to take great pride in barely looking pregnant. (And Ivanka!)

How about you, readers — do you remember which celebrities were pregnant at the same time you were?

    Ha, Duchess Kate for my first two, but she waited a little bit longer before her third.

      Yep! Duchess Kate’s first two for my two, which was also Kim Kardashian’s first two. 2013 was the year Kim Kardashian was compared to a literal whale and Duchess Kate was “apparently so small because of her abs” and I will never forget either of those comments.

    Yes! Kristin Cavelarri (sp?). She also got married around the same time I did so I felt really bad when they split up!

    A whole bunch of Kardashians (I think Kim, Khloe and Kylie?) had babies around the same time I did, but otherwise I wasn’t really aware of any celebrities who were pregnant while I was pregnant.

    Mine was Beyonce! Ivy Blue was born a few days before my first kid.

      She named her kid Blue Ivy. Ivy Blue would have been way better (I can get on board with weird middle names if the first name is normal).

    A fairly low level celebrity, but Kate Beaton — she’s a cartoonist and she was doing a whole bunch of comics about pregnancy and having a newborn around the time when I had my son. It was fun to follow along and feel like there was a whole community of folks who understood the ups and downs!
