One busy mom is about to get a lot busier, as she has just given birth to quintuplets, making her brood of 16 children one of the largest families in the Australian state of Victoria. The 48-year-old mother of 12, welcomed five new additions to her family to the tune of two boys and three girls (one of which, sadly, died just before birth)...

When I happened upon this story, the comments made by Representative Todd Akin of Missouri were still fresh in my mind:  "legitimate rape". I make a living by saying things on the radio, usually in the form of an advertisement, and there are times when what I said went horribly wrong.

New Orleans Saints Quarterback Drew Brees announced via Twitter last night that "Brittany and I are proud to say that Callen Christian Brees was born yesterday evening in New Orleans. Mama and baby boy are happy & healthy."

One of our beloved Account Executives, Bree, is expecting. It looks like she should be due any day now, but she's not due until October. (Click through to see the bottom half of the photo.) We've decided to help her out by suggesting names for the baby...

Despite being eight months pregnant, Nur Suryani Mohammed Taibi of Maylasia finished 34th among the competitors in the women’s 10-meter air rifle event at the Summer Olympics in London on Saturday. Taibi, 29, entered the London Games ranked 47th in the world in the 10-meter air rifle.

Some women have to undergo fertility treatments to get pregnant, but according to a new study by the CDC, about a third of the babies born in the past 30 years weren’t planned — and it should come as no surprise that more than half of those pregnancies are tied to a lack of contraception use.

Cute alert! A new photo of Beyonce, with a major and massive knotted bun perched atop her pretty little head, and her bundle of joy Blue Ivy has surfaced online.

With her pregnancy now public knowledge, Adele has set about attending to some very important, pre-birth duties and that’s decorating the nursery. Rumor has it that the ‘Rumor Has It’ singer is renovating her swanky digs in order to create a nursery that is situated next to her bedroom.

In years past, parents would often quiet a crying child by giving him a toy or popping a pacifier in his mouth. But these days, it’s more likely that fussy kid will wind up with mom’s cell phone instead.

Most people are aware by now that there are some everyday health and hygiene products on the market that can cause a positive result on a drug screen in adults — but in newborns?

Lindy Chamberlain, the Australian mother who spent three years in jail for the murder of her two-month-old daughter Azaria, has been officially cleared of the crime 32-years after Azaria disappeared.

Adorable identical twins Lillian and Diana Bajorek wage war over a single pacifier by forcibly removing it from each other’s mouths. Babies are undeniably cute, but as this video shows, sharing just isn’t part of their vocabulary yet.

The benefits of breastfeeding to both mother and child have been well-documented. Among other things, it can boost a child’s immunity and help protect moms from several different types of cancer.

Anyone who’s ever taken a long flight and tried to relax while children screamed or ran around may put Malaysia Airlines on a list of favorite companies after the carrier announced it’s now offering child-free spaces on some of its planes.

Two-year-old stuck in a well? There’s an app for that. Rescue workers in Mengzi City, China had the daunting task of freeing a toddler who had fallen into a 40-foot well. While they could hear the boy’s cries, they couldn’t really see him. This posed a problem when he kept slipping out of the adult-sized harness they had sent down the shaft.

While Jessica Simpson may not be giving her baby girl a truly unconventional, Hollywood-style name (Apple and Moses, anyone?), she is thinking outside the box. Reports surfaced that may reveal the name of imminent pink bundle of joy. So what’s the lovely little lady’s moniker going to be?

Back in January, the news of a 14-pound baby‘s birth gave nightmares to every expectant mother in the country — and now it’s happened again.

They say kids learn by example, and now we have further proof — little ones who’ve watched their moms and dads order coffee are now able to do the same thing with a new concoction called a “babyccino.” And baristas are none too happy about it.

A precocious little girl explains where babies come from in this hysterical video. And, lest we continue being uninformed, she also describes in great (but adorably inaccurate) detail how babies are actually delivered.

After weeks of anticipation, Beyonce and Jay-Z have finally unveiled the first pictures of their daughter Blue Ivy.
