Your pregnancy: 26 weeks

At about 36 centimetres (14 inches) long and weighing about 770 grams (1.7 pounds), your little guy is now the size of a side of fries (and you’re two-thirds of the way through your pregnancy!). By 26 weeks pregnant, his eyes are forming, and they’ll be able to open soon. (That’s right, he could be batting his baby blues—or browns or greens—at you!) Meanwhile, his immune system is also under construction, soaking up all of your antibodies in anticipation of life on the outside. You’ve probably noticed that he has settled into a sleep-wake pattern, too, with distinct periods where you feel active kicking and punching and other times where he is quiet and likely sleeping (hopefully at night, when you are trying to catch some zzzs!).

Headaches

Stress and hormone fluctuations can contribute to more frequent headaches during pregnancy, as can dehydration and hunger. Be sure to take a water bottle with you for sipping water on the go, and eat every few hours to keep your blood sugar levels in check. Carry an apple and a protein bar in your purse for emergency snacking. If you’re prone to migraines, your usual meds are probably off limits to you now, but be sure to discuss this with your doctor. (It’s safe to take the occasional acetaminophen, but avoid long-term, chronic use.) Acupuncture, massage and meditation are proven, drug-free pain relievers you can try. If you have a headache that just won’t go away, call your practitioner. Combined with blurry vision, sudden swelling and/or upper abdominal pain, it could be a sign of pre-eclampsia, which requires immediate treatment.

If you find yourself slipping and tripping more than usual, you’ve got that big belly to thank. The added weight, shifted centre of gravity and reduced visibility (um, see ya later, toes!) can make you prone to stumbling. Thanks to pregnancy hormones, your loosened joints can also make you less steady on your feet. Be extra-careful in the bathtub, on the pool deck and on other slippery surfaces. Keep the stairs and hallways in your home clear of tripping hazards, watch out for your cat or dog underfoot and proceed with caution. A fall during pregnancy can be a serious matter, so report it to your practitioner if you do take a tumble.

It’s possible that you’ll lose your keys, miss an appointment and find yourself forgetting what you’re doing while you’re doing it. Congratulations, you have pregnancy brain! Absentmindedness is a common physiological symptom of fluctuating hormones and lots on your mind. It’s nothing to worry about, but it can be frustrating. Your forgetfulness will fade postpartum (though perhaps not right away because sleep deprivation with a newborn can have a similar effect). Until you’re thinking clearly again, be kind to yourself: Set appointment reminders in your phone, leave yourself notes around the house and keep a to-do list. As silly as it sounds, you may actually be less forgetful if you’re not stressing over it.

Leafar Von D Reyes

Celeb tattoo artist and makeup guru Kat Von D announced on December 3rd that she had given birth to her first son with her husband Rafael Reyes via home birth. The announcement was accompanied by an adorable photo of baby Leafar and his dad both dressed in their signature all-black attire (and of course standing in front of an old-school all-black pram stroller). Their son's name—which comes from his musician dad's stage name, Leafar Seyer—comes as no surprise as they had announced it a few months back. In her caption, Kat also mentioned how she and her husband will be spending the next 40 days taking a break from social media as a kind of "4th trimester to focus on the baby and our amazing relationship transitioning into amazing parenthood."

Gabrielle Union and her husband, Dwyane Wade, had not previously announced that they were expecting, but they welcomed their new daughter (and first child together!) via surrogate on November 7, 2018. Surprise! Union posted some adorable pictures on her Instagram of them getting some sweet skin-to-skin time in. Union had revealed in her 2017 memoir that she struggled with eight or nine miscarriages within the span of three years, so we’re glad to see her dream of motherhood finally coming true! Union captioned the photos with “Welcome to the party sweet girl!” and it’s totally appropriate seeing as she’s joining an already large family (Union and Wade’s family already includes two children from Wade’s previous relationship and his nephew). Congrats to the happy couple!

In an Instagram post on October 29, Hilary Duff announced the birth of her daughter with an adorable picture of her and her boyfriend Matthew Koma—birth name Matther Bair—looking down at their newborn baby. “This little bit has fully stolen our hearts!” Duff writes in her caption. “She joined our world at home on Thursday afternoon and is absolute magic.” This is the actor’s first daughter with her musician boyfriend. Back in August, she revealed that they had figured out the baby’s name, Banks, pretty early on in her pregnancy, saying that the name was “unique but it’s not too weird.” While her description is spot on, we can’t wait to hear the story behind their choice. Banks joins older brother Luca, 6, from Duff’s previous marriage to retired NHL player Mike Comrie.

Kate Hudson and her boyfriend, Danny Fujikawa, welcomed their baby girl on October 2nd and announced her unique name—pronounced like “Ronnie”—via Instagram post the next day. The post also explained the meaning behind the name: Rani is named after her late paternal grandfather, Ron Fujikawa. This is Kate’s first daughter and first child with Danny, and her third child overall. She’s also a mom to Bingham, 7, and Ryder, 14.

On October 1st, former Bachelorette Jillian Harris shared news of the birth of her second child with her fiancé, Justin Pasutto. According to her Instagram caption, little Annie made an appearance during a date night on the golf course followed by a trip to the delviery room.

Michael Bublé and Luisana Lopilato announced the birth of their third child (and only daughter!) on July 26 with an adorable Instagram post featuring the newborn’s teeny tiny hand. They have yet to announce a name for their daughter, but Lopilato captioned her photo in her native Spanish beginning with “How to explain that our heart explodes with love?” How sweet is that? The new baby joins older siblings Noah, 4, and Elias, 2.

25-year-old rapper Cardi B announced the birth of her daughter, Kulture, on July 10. Kulture is her first daughter with her husband, fellow rapper Offset (whose legal name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus) and his fourth child. Cardi B announced the birth on her Instagram by posting three photos of herself looking stunning in the buff (and very pregnant). In one caption she defended her unique choice of name, writing: “Kulture ! Anything else woulda been basic. Okrrrrrrruuu!”

On June 29, House of Cards star Neve Campbell shared this sweet family photo on Instagram to announce that she and her husband, JJ Feild, had adopted a baby boy earlier this year. We don’t know exactly when little Raynor was born, but the post says he was adopted sometime in January. Campbell also wrote in her caption how their older son, Caspian is dealing with the change: “Our 6 year old son Caspian is over the moon and asks every morning ‘Can I hold my baby? Can I feed my baby? Can I play with my baby’. It’s the most incredible thing we’ve experienced.” Enjoy that sibling love now, Neve! Who knows how long it’ll last.

The happy Fixer Upper couple Chip and Joanna Gaines welcomed their fifth child on June 21. They gave him the name Crew, which is totally adorable but also a complete depature from their naming conventions for their older kids—the boys have ‘D’ names (Drake, 13, and Duke, 9) and the girls have ‘E’ names (Ella, 11, and Emmie Kay, 8). Joanna announced the birth on Instagram with this sweet photo from inside the hospital room, but we also love the other pic she posted of Crew’s older siblings waiting outside the door for his arrival. So cute!

Eva Longoria welcomed her first child with husband José “Pepe” Bastón on June 19, and we absolutely love his name: Santiago Enrique Bastón. So adorable!

This is Eva’s first child, but Santiago will have three older half-siblings from Bastón’s previous marriage.

Fifty-seven-year-old actor, Stanley Tucci, is a dad for the fifth time!

Looks like this little family of three just became four. Actress Haylie Duff and her fiancé, Matt Rosenberg, welcomed a second daughter on June 5, and big sister, Ryan, looks extremely excited about her little sister’s arrival.

And baby boy Baldwinito makes six! Actor, Alec Baldwin, and his wife, Hilaria, welcomed a baby boy on May 17. Hilaria announced his arrival with this adorable photo, captioned “He’s here!

In an exclusive interview with People, Jordin told them she was overjoyed when DJ finally arrived. “It was miraculously beautiful. Dana caught him with my midwife, Simona, and when he handed him to me, I was absolutely overwhelmed with joy. He was and is everything we imagined.” The singer also said she’s looking forward to motherhood. “I’ve always loved kids and knew that if given the blessing, that I would love and embrace it more than I realized.

Actress Kirsten Dunst and her fiancée, Jesse Plemons, welcomed Ennis (which means ‘Island’) on May 3. The couple is super private and haven’t confirmed any details yet—we only found out about Kirsten’s pregnancy a few months ago! The couple met on set in 2016 while playing husband and wife on FX’s Fargo—can you say ‘foreshadowing’? The pair are planning a private wedding in Austin this year.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have welcomed their third child—a boy!—who is fifth in line to the throne. Prince Louis of Cambridge was named after his Dad and brother—so sweet! The couple appeared in front of the press for the little Prince’s debut only seven hours after he was born, before going back home to Kensington Palace. Prince George, 4, and Princess Charlotte, 2, arrived at the hospital earlier that day to visit their new baby brother. There are too many adorable photos of the new Prince, but we think he looks just like George!

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson welcomed his third daughter yesterday with the most swoon-worthy photo ever of him and his new baby girl enjoying some skin-to-skin. Though she may share the same birthday as the Royal Baby, he didn’t let that outshine his new bundle of joy with longtime girlfriend, Lauren Hashian—whom he praised in his Instagram post. “Blessed and proud to bring another strong girl into this world. Tiana Gia Johnson came into this world like a force of nature and Mama @laurenhashianofficial labored and delivered like a true rockstar. I was raised and surrounded by strong, loving women all my life, but after participating in baby Tia’s delivery, it’s hard to express the new level of love, respect and admiration I have for @laurenhashianofficial and all mamas and women out there,” he gushed. “If you really want to understand the single most powerful and primal moment life will ever offer – watch your child being born. Its a life changer and the respect and admiration you have for a woman, will forever be boundless.” Can you say AWWW? The Rock is surrounded by women whom he loves and respects dearly—he and Lauren share a two-year-old daughter named Jasmine, and Dwayne has a 16-year-old daughter named Simone from a previous relationship.

Looks like How to Get Away with Murder star, Karla Souza, knows how to get away with a secret pregnancy, too! On April 19, the actress announced her pregnancy and daughter’s birth all in one day, shocking fans everywhere. She shared an adorable maternity shoot photo, holding her bump while wearing a blue Adidas tracksuit, captioned, “So I have something to share with you guys.” Shortly after, she posted this photo, announcing Gianna’s arrival, captioned simply, “God blessed us.” This is the first child for Karla and her husband, Marshall Trenkmann, whom she married in 2014. Maybe Laurel’s HTGAWM pregnancy was a cover for the real thing?

What an entrance! The Late Night with Seth Meyers host and his wife, Alexi Ashe, welcomed their second son together and he arrived very quickly. Axel couldn’t wait until the hospital to arrive, and Alexi delivered him on the lobby floor of their apartment building. Seth excitedly told the story on his show, with an image of his wife holding Axel, a firefighter holding an oxygen mask for Alexi while Seth grins proudly. He had apparently called an uber when Alexi started feeling contractions, but Axel was in a rush. “The only way I can describe how my wife looked was like someone who was trying to hide a baby in a pair of sweatpants,” he explained. “I called 911 and over the course of a minute conversation, I said, ‘We’re about to have a baby—we’re having a baby—we had a baby.” The two are also parents to Ashe Olsen, who was born March 2016.

Like the umbilical cord…I drank a lot of coffee today, but we have not slept in a few days, but we’re gettin’ there.” This being their third time around, Ike says it’s pretty much routine by now. “This is my third, so there’s no more surprises. There’s only breast milk and poop, that’s all there is.” TRUTH.  No word on the gender or name yet, but we do know he and Erica share two daughters together already—Foster, 4, and Payton June, 2.

And a baby boy makes four! Bethany posted this super sweet portrait of her new family of four, captioned, “We are overjoyed to welcome our son Wesley Phillip Dirks into the world!

Jane the Virgin actress, Bridget Regan, and her husband, Eamon O’Sullivan, welcomed baby #2—a son!—on February 28, weighing 8 lbs. 8 oz. She posted this photo with the simple caption: “Barney Moon.

She shocked fans with an Instagram post, apologizing for keeping everyone in the dark, but explaining she stayed out of the public eye to better the health of her baby girl and her own. The lipstick mogul shared a link to a 12-minute tribute video titled, “To Our Daughter,” which documents her nine month journey. She shared this photo, revealing Stormi’s name, and it quickly became the most liked Instagram photo ever with over 14 milllion likes. Their healthy baby girl was born on February 1, weighing 8lbs 9oz, and apparently won’t have Scott or Jenner as a surname.

Thank you to everyone who prayed and prayed for these little ladies, and thank you Lord for healthy babies. #twins” We wonder if those are the babies’ actual initials or temporary “Baby A” and “Baby B” because they haven’t chosen names for them yet? The happy news of twins was announced in August 2017, which came two years after she went through a pregnancy loss. Congratulations to the happy family!
