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:

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.

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.

Anna Kournikova. We’re also the same age.

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!

Angelina Jolie with the twins.

Angelina Jolie with the twins for the first, Ivanka and Natalie Portman with the second.
