At 8 months pregnant, The Saturdays singer Rochelle Humes starts her maternity leave as her band mates head off to perform in Dublin.  Whilst Rochelle is busy with moving house, her band mates plan a baby shower for her and are in full swing organising this.

Frankie, Una, Mollie and Vanessa say they want to throw a “memorable” do for their pregnant pal.

A source close to the girls said: “The girls are super excited about becoming aunties again. They have been talking about giving this baby shower an American theme and are getting lots of American sweets flown in specially.”

And falling in tradition with giving gifts for a baby shower, Rochelle receives an Aston martin Buggy from friend and JLS star Aston Merrygold.

An Aston Martin buggy? Rochelle’s child is going to have the coolest wheels in the park.

The 24-year-old star revealed the extravagant gift via Instagram earlier today as celebrations got underway for her baby shower.

She wrote alongside the image: “Aston from Aston. The baby has cooler car than us. Naughty Uncle. X x”

It could be the honest wish of an expectant mother, or it might be an elaborate double bluff.  Either way, the Duchess of Cambridge has apparently let slip the sex she prefers her first baby to be – only two weeks after we all thought that she had revealed what it was anyway.

Kate is reported to have said that she would like to have a boy and William a girl.  Uncertainty?  Possbibly.  But it has come with memories of the Duchess’s visit to Grimsby this month when she accepted a teddy from a well-wisher with the words, “I will take that for my d…”

So who knows.  I guess we will just have to wait and see.

The Duchess of Cambridge has  turned to hypnotherapy to help her boost her appetite after struggling to keep food down because of her hyperemesis gravidarum.

Kate still looks at most food and feels nauseous. She likened it to: “that feeling you get after you’ve had food poisoning and your stomach’s shrunk.”

Sources say Kate finds it difficult to eat a full meal and gets full very quickly. The hypnotherapy takes away any negative thoughts connected with food and replaces them with a desire to eat healthy, nutritious food, working at avocados, berries, broccoli, oatmeal and smoothies. She is also nibbling on figs and lavender shortbread which aid digestion and combat nausea.
