While pregnancy is touted as one of the most beautiful aspects of life, the journey toward the reward of a bouncing baby is not always smooth. Although considered one of the most "natural" things in the world, the act of pregnancy has symptoms that are strange, physically and emotionally draining, and even life-or-death. There's a user on TikTok referred to as "The Girl with the List" who keeps a list of currently over 300 ways pregnancy and childbirth can ravage your body and mind: making you sick, stretching your skin, feeling like sharp pains in your back, swelling your ankles, losing your hair, weakening your nails, and on and on.
There's something very unsettling about a whole other person growing and moving inside you, absorbing your nutrients, changing who you are inside and out, and then being expelled from your body — sometimes in a violent manner. It's no wonder the horror...

"I just thought, 'This cannot be happening to me again,' " says mom Tawanda, who was shocked by going into labor not once, but twice.
In an exclusive clip from Wednesday's TLC special I Still Didn't Know I Was Pregnant, Tawanda has her first brush with baby drama when she leaves a night of partying at the club in agony and hails a cab.
Begging to be taken home, Tawanda realizes with horror en route that there's "something coming out of me." It turns out the birth control she'd been taking consistently wasn't effective – she's having a baby!

It's an immaculate hippo-ception. Well, not really, but it's close. The Los Angeles Zoo has received a real treat for Halloween - the birth of its first hippopotamus in 26 years. It was a bit of a trick, too, because the mother was on birth control, and she wound up starring in an all-ungulate version of I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant. The zoo says the baby was born Friday. It was somewhat of a surprise, but staffers had noticed the mother hippo gained weight, which made them suspect she was pregnant. Vets haven't determined the sex of the new hippo.

Claimant in landmark suit backed by actors' unions told by Us judge to reveal her name in order to take case forward
The actor suing the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) for publishing her real age in a potentially landmark case that unions say has powerful ramifications for the capacity of Hollywood to discriminate against older stars has been revealed as 40-year-old Texan Junie Hoang following a court's ruling.
Hoang had wanted to take the film database to court anonymously in a suit which is being backed by the Us's major acting unions. However, a Us district judge in Seattle said last month that she would need to use her real name to take the case forward.
Hoang received strong support for her position from the Screen Actors Guild (Sag) and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (Aftra) last year. She argues that the site had no right to publish...

Seattle — An actress who filed an anonymous lawsuit against Amazon.com and its Internet Movie Database for revealing her age identified herself in a federal court filing Friday.
Huong Hoang of Texas, may be better known by her stage name, Junie Hoang. She has appeared in such films as "Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver" and "Hoodrats 2: Hoodrat Warriors."
The actress filed a million-dollar claim against Amazon last fall, saying the company mined her IMDb account to learn her age, 40, and then posted it on her profile – causing her offers for roles to dry up.
The lawsuit caused a frenzy of online speculation over who the actress might be – as well as a bit of soul-searching about ageism in youth-obsessed Hollywood.
Women over 40 make up 24.3 percent of the U.S. population, but a casting analysis by the Screen Actors Guild showed actresses over 40 get just 12.5 percent of roles for television and film.
