10 Celeb Babies Due In 2019

Can you believe there are only a few more weeks left in 2018? (Unbelievable!) In some ways, this year flew right by. In other ways *cough* politically *cough* this pregnancy is lasting forever *cough*, the days seem to have dragged on forever. And is it just me, or did it seem like there were a ton of celebrity pregnancy announcements within the past six months or so? So let's take a look at 12 celeb babies due in 2019. Because it looks like there's going to be a Hollywood baby boom after the new year rolls around.

Maybe it's just because I've been pregnant for the majority of 2018, but I swear, every time single time I paid attention to any type of celebrity news, there was yet another baby-on-the-way proclamation. I have to admit, though, that I felt some sort of special connection to each pregnant celebrity as the news came out. Like, "Woo! Meghan Markle and I can both rock our bumps together." (You know, because we know each other and hang out all of the time and all.) Or, "Now I can say I was pregnant the same time as Amy Schumer!" (Spoiler alert: No one cares.) So without further ado, let's take stock of which celebs will be giving birth in 2019. There's ...

As Vogue reported, Amy Schumer broke her pregnancy news on Oct. 22 — with a little help from her friend, Jessica Yellin, of News Not Noise. At the very end of a list of Schumer's political candidate picks ahead of the mid-term election, there was a note that read, “I’m pregnant-Amy Schumer.” LOL. Schumer has recently noted that she's well into her second trimester at this point. So she'll be welcoming a 2019 baby, for sure.
