Gwen Stefani Update: Still Pregnant!

We’ve heard from many of you recently — through comments and emails — wondering if Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale had welcomed their new baby into the world. Not yet! Gwen, 38, was spotted out in Beverly Hills on Monday afternoon with Gavin, 2-year-old son Kingston, and a nanny.

YES!!!!!! I was so worried about her..wow..can’t be long now!

- lb on

geez, is she pregnant or what?! I hope she’s not far away from the birth! Can’t wait to hear the news, I hope they have a girl but I think it’s a boy, looks like it at that belly! Pointy ;)

- cathylee on

Poor Gwen … I am so glad I am not 9 months pregnant during the summer … She still manages to look good, though! How does she do it?!

- Sarah on

Look at her hands, they’re swollen as can be! You know she is so ready to have that baby! :)

- julie on

I have been checking this site every hour hoping for an update on her! I was beginning to wonder if she was still pregnant or not. Poor Gwen! She looks miserable! I know I was in my last month of pregnancy. Best of luck to them and I can’t WAIT to hear the news of their newest addition!

- Me on

Wow. Poor woman! lol. When was she due anyway?

- Kris on

She looks SO uncomfortable! Hopefully she won’t have to wait much longer.

- Christa on

She definitely looks like she is ready to have that baby! And, I’m sure Kingston is ready to be a big brother!! I’m thinking it’s going to be a girl!!!!

- Jaime on

Awwwwww….. Gwen… I am 7 months and being pregnant in the summer (hot & humid NYC summer in my case) is the worst. She still manages to look stylish though ;-)

- martina on

She’s so lovely. Best wishes to her and her growing family. I hope the birth goes smoothly.

- Amanda on

I’ve been wondering about her! Thanks for the update.

- Lissette on

The baby is due August 12/13. Baby girl IMO!

- Ash on

This week def.

- Silvermouse on

I was in her same position with my 2nd pregnancy, 40 weeks in mid August… and boy, was it uncomfortable… I was constantly sweating and my feet were honestly twice as big as normal.

I feel for her.

- *Lulu* on

Finally an update on Gwen! I’d go online just to check on her and nothing… Oh my God! She must be feeling so uncomfortable now… Her fingers looks swollen… Well, good luck for the Stefani-Rossdale family and, please, keep us updated!

- Luciana Caczan on

Poor Gwen she’s really huge!Can’t wait to hear the baby news!I hope it’s a girl and I’m sure that Kingy will be a perfect big brother.

- SARA on

It doesn’t look to me like the baby has dropped yet. I think she still has a week or so to go unless she is doing a scheduled c-section. I feel for her.

- Shannon on

I’ve been thinking of her since last week, wondering if she’d given birth but managed to keep it private.

I’m sure that right about now that she is absolutely loving the assistance of a nanny.

- Becky's Daughter on

Oh poor Gwen! I’m sure she’s really uncomfortable. I can’t wait for this baby to be born… it seems like she’s been pregnant forever!

- Heather Lynn on

wow, she has been pregnant forever! Hopefully the baby comes soon for both mommy/baby comfort-sake.

I’m thinking another boy, but it would be nice if it were a girl for them. That baby is nice and comfortable in there lol.

- Mia on

Just seems like she has the longest pregancies. It felt this way for me with kingston. Love her, hope its a girl.

- Paula on

Thanks for the update, I’d been wondering about her for the past week.

- Aelys on

I was the same way as my daughter was born Aug. 8 in ’92 so I know how she feels in the summer!

- Marilyn on

Thank you for posting this. I have been getting more and more concerned about Gwen since we hadn’t seen or heard about her in a while.

Glad to know all is still well with the Stefan-Rossdale’s!

- Jennifer on

I heard she said she was due the week before fashion week which starts September 5th!

So she’s due in a couple of weeks I think

- Stéph on

Yay! I wondered too if she had pulled off the impossible and given birth without anyone knowing. I’m sure if we feel she has been pregnant forever that she feels it has been twice as long! :) I wouldn’t want to go out in August 9 months pregnant either. Maybe that is why she has been staying in? Best of luck!

- facingdawn on

I want her to have a girl, but it looks like a boy.

- aurora mia on

Oh, Gwen! I keep checking this site 5x a day to see if she’s had her baby! I hope she delivers soon. She has to be soo uncomfortable!

I’m hoping, hoping, hoping for a girl but I think she’s having a boy.

- Stephany on

I’ve been popping in each day too to see if she’s had this baby! Glad there is an update though and everything seems okay. It seems like she’s been pregnant forever!!! She looks ready to pop anyday. I’m saying there will be a baby by this weekend!! And for some reason I have a feeling she’s gone past her duedate hehe! She just has the look of “okay I’m done with pregnancy already!”

- JM on

She’s been on my mind a lot!! We haven’t seen any new pics of her in a few weeks and I starting to wonder what’s going on….lol. She hasn’t dropped yet….hmmmm seems like she’s been preggo forever!! LOL Hope she has a lil girl….;)

- Doreen on

I’m curious as to how her belly can “look like a boy”…? Ladies, don’t believe all of those old wives tales.

I really feel for her… how uncomfortable must it be to be 9 months pregnant in the dead of summer? I think she’ll have another c-section, because she had Kingston that way only two years ago and (correct me if I’m wrong) don’t docs usually like to wait a bit longer than that before trying a VBAC?

And I too think it would be sweet if she had a baby girl, only because she already has a son. But another boy would be just as precious. Can’t wait to see what they name this little one. =]

- Isabel on

I had been wondering about her, thanks for posting this. I was pregnant and huge, due in August, two years in a row and it was not fun. If we have another, I’ll definitely be attempting to have it in the spring! I can’t wait to see if she has a girl or boy! Kingston is the cutest little boy ever, I’m sure whichever it is will be just as beautiful.

- Stephanie on

Wow, what a bump! I reckon it’ll be in the next week or so, my Sis-in-Law is due next week and the same size except my SIL’s bump has dropped a lot more than Gwens! Gwen really does look fab though!

- Chloe on

Thanks for the update, I wasn’t worried, but I have become accustomed to seeing her picture from time to time. Also waiting to see her baby. Glad to see her, I have been asking everywhere LOL Seems like she’s been pregnant a long time, hang in there Gwen. Been there LOL
Hoping you have the baby soon,and that none of your friends are like mine were “you still haven’t had that baby yet?” very annoying LOL

- Loren on

i think it looks like her belly has dropped a little. oh, those poor hands! oh, mama, any day now!

- I-dra on

Bless her heart! You know she has to be hot! she needs to drop some so that baby can come out. hopefully the baby will be born soon.

steph

- steph on

Oh my goodness! I was soooo worried!! Thanks for the update! We hadn’t seen her or heard news for sooo long!! I have been checking this site religiously for news! Best wishes to her and the fam!

(And Marilyn — happy b-day to your daughter 8-8-8 — that’s my 29th!!!)

- mmh on

This pic makes me realize how unusual it is to see her without makeup and with dark roots showing. Usually she is perfectly made up with bright lipstick and her roots must be touched up at least weekly! Great to see her here, looking like all the rest of us!

“I think she’ll have another c-section, because she had Kingston that way only two years ago and (correct me if I’m wrong) don’t docs usually like to wait a bit longer than that before trying a VBAC?”

I’ve always heard if you want to try a vbac you need to wait until 18 months after you gave birth to get pregnant again. If the baby is due in august that means she got pregnant when Kingston was 18 months. It would be cool if she did have a vbac just because I’ve never heard of a celebrity who has had one. Not very many docs will do them.

- Adele on

I may sound like a Gwen stalker here (which I may be a little), but I think she is 40 weeks this week. According to her initial announcement when she was 13 weeks I was 5 weeks. I am now 32 weeks and she is 8 weeks ahead of me.

Stalkerish, I know:)

- MMM on

I am going out on a limb… with her hands, her age, and Kingston being breech I think she is either on bed rest or very limited restrictions from her dr.

- Allison on

Oh poor Gwen, I truly feel for her, I went throught the very same last year with my son. Hope she has that baby SOON :)

- Bee on

Kingston was born on my sisters birthday and I jokingly said this one would come on my birthday – which is the 12th so only next week. maybe I should have put a £5 on it ;-)

poor her. My son was born August 06 and it was horrible being pregnant in that heat. She looks far better than I ever did!!

- Natt on

Has anyone else been told they are huge during a pregnancy and felt like they were going to cry? I have and I would never say it about someone else because I know how it feels and it’s awful. I love how all these posts comment on how Huge she is. She’s pregnant. And how do you all know she’s miserable? Because of One photograph where she may have been caught off guard and isn’t smiling for the camera? I hope you all who posted about how big she is know better than to ever say that to a pregnant woman’s face because it is RUDE.

- kristin17 on

We have all been worried about her, but at least we know as of Monday she is ok and still pregnant. She looks great for being 9 months pregnant. The last month is the worst and it takes the longest.

I too was pregnant in the summer of 2005 and it is no picnic!

- kris on

wow. I would have expected her to have dropped by now….Maybe the due date is a little farther out than speculated. I would so not want to be at that stage of pregnancy in the hot sticky summer!

- carie on

People told me all the time how huge I was and I never took offense to that. I WAS huge. I always agreed with them. It’s not like they were calling me fat, because they weren’t. I was all belly. A BIG belly. I know women’s emotions are all over the place when they are preggers and some can take offense to that, but not all do, because I knew it was about the belly, not me personally.

- Becky on

Wow! I think she is having a girl. I know what it’s like, I had twins on September 3 and the heat was horrible!

- M on

Wow She’s getting big! It’s not gonna be to long now! I hope it’s a girl! but im thinkin a boy!

- Shirelle on

I thought she had dropped off the end of the earth! I have been google news-ing her everyday to see if she’s gone into hospital yet, and nothing. I thought her due date was mid-July, I remember people saying she was due around the same times as Nicole, Camilla, Angelina etc. I genuinely believed she’d given birth and managed to keep in a secret! I hope she does soon. Still look gorgeous though.

- Sydney on

Her belly has dropped!! Hopefully soon! I hope they have a girl!

- Sheila on

Wow, she must be dying to get that extra fluid off her extremities! She still looks gorgeous though, gotta give her props for that.

And on the whole “boy/girl belly” thing, I had two friends who were preggo at the same time. One carried all over, had a fuller face, and everyone said she was having a girl (she wasn’t finding out the sex). My other friend knew she was having a boy and she carried the “boy” way…only a belly, very little weight gain elsewhere. Guess what? The one with the “girl belly” had a BOY. :) It was an even bigger surprise for everyone, though!

- Chana on

Poor gwen she looks so swollen and uncomfortable. The summer is uncomfortable to regular because because of the heat, but imagine when you are carrying around say 40lbs more and are swollen. Summer pregnancies are hard, my friend had her daughter august 24th and she hated being pregnant during the summer. I think gwen will have a girl, looking forward to hearing an annoucement soon, and she still looks good to be so far along.

- brooke on

i was just thinking about her! & wondering when we would hear the announcment! she looks soo ready to be done with pregnancy lol

- Kelly on

hahaha, Chana! That’s so funny! I think everyone who says it’s a boy, it’s a girl before the angel is born needs to hear that. It drives me insane because I want to be able to guess to myself. Or I wish people would say that *I HOPE* its a boy or a girl. . . don’t spoil the surprise.

- Silvermouse on

I can relate–I’m 33 weeks myself. Being this pregnant in the summer is NOT fun. But, hey, the reward is worth it, right? I hope Gwen has the baby soon.

- Pencils on

tá grande demais a barriga da gwen,acho que ela só está esperando o momento ;)

I was 40 weeks plus NINE days in the middle of July with my first (and no A/C at home). (I had an induction scheduled when I went into labor.) I was pretty big – strangers on the street would ask me if I was having twins. I wasn’t offended but I was too tired to say much in response. Nothing fit at all by that time except one pair of XXL track pants. Boy was I ready for that baby to arrive!

- paula on

what do u mean by dropped?..i hope it a girl!

- blackrose on

Gosh! It seems like she’s been pregnant forever. I’m hoping for a girl this time but I have a feeling it’s going to be another boy.

- Kelly on

I thought for sure that she had been fortunate enough to have had her baby during the Jolie-Pitt craze and slipped under the radar! I was just waiting to hear some announcement in the “better late than never news”….”late” being a relative term in this case! She looks great though.

It’s always amazing to me, and I’ve been studying obstetrics for many years now, when I see a woman in the final week or so of pregnancy. Suddenly you realize how amazing it is that women’s bodies can do this. EVERY time I see it I think “Goodness the body cannot possibly stretch any more!” But it always does and out comes such an amazing little human being. Even though women look their most miserable and tired during this part of pregnancy I always think they’re the most beautiful because it’s the epitome of how amazing women’s bodies are and what women can do for their children (though labor and delivery is probably a category all to its own!). Can’t wait till hear the happy news!

Side Note: I have to agree with the posts about her dropping though. She still looks a little high. But I-dra’s comment made me look back at the picture and it does look like it might be starting to drop a bit! Good Luck, Gwen! We’re all sending thoughts of strength and a happy delivery!

- Betty on

i’m 35 weeks pregnant and i don’t feel offended at all when people tell me i’m huge. it’s normal, i’m pregnant! and in reality i’ve gained what is considered an average amount for a healthy pregnancy. and of course pregnant women are “huge” – in comparison to their unpregnant selves – it’s beautiful! and gwen looks like a real-life pregnant woman – wonderful!!

- julie on

Blackrose

“Dropped” refers to when the baby descends into the pelvic area in preparation for birth. The baby is still completely inside the uterus and many times dilation hasn’t even started but it’s normally a sign that the baby is starting to get ready to make its big debut. Although not all babies will “drop” before labor starts, many do, especially if it is the first baby of the mother. I remember when Bridget Moynahan was in her last month of pregnancy I thought her belly dropped dramatically. Hope that helps!

- answer on

Wow! I check this site almost every day because of Gwen! I feel so bad for her! I hope she has him/her soon. I hope it’s a girl, but I have a feeling it will be a boy. I just love her, and she still looks good!

- Sharon on

Please Gwennie Gwen Gwen, (from Bubble Pop Electric! lol) give birth sometime this week or weekend so I can be in total elation after my stats exam haha

- Silvermouse on

Thanks for the update! I’m glad that she’s doing well and we haven’t missed the birth of the new addition.

- Bancie1031 on

could be twins? I could picture two babies in that belly…..angilina jolie look alot like this in the last pregnat pic I saw of her with her twins…justa thought..

- thinker on

SO WHO IS THIS J Bella lady with GWEN? I saw her at http://www.myspace.com/JanetMiranda01
and rumors say that she may be doing a song for converse sneakerss. I hear they wanted Gwen but she busy havin her baby, so they may go with J.

- Ariel on

Well with the Twins craze happening, you never know .But I’m pretty sure its one. Angelina Jolie was much bigger than that, and only at 5-6 months along.

Maybe the baby will be born tomorrow-It would be 08/08/08.

- Mia on

I was shooting for yesterday since that was my birthday! Any little Leo baby will be awesome!

- Sarahdukes on

- sarhadukes on

Ohh poor Gwen, i have been wondering about her. I wish her every luck in the world with the new baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
