Baby Watch

Kate Middleton has finally been discharged from the hospital ... after several days of treatment for "acute morning sickness" ... and now the Duchess says she's headed back to her palace to rest.

Kate was all smiles on her way out of the King Edward VII Hospital in Central London ... clutching some flowers ... and getting some assistance from her hubby Prince William.

Afterward, Kate's team of Royal statement writers released the following royal statement, "The Duchess of Cambridge has been discharged from the King Edward VII Hospital and will now head to Kensington Palace for a period of rest."

“Their Royal Highnesses would like to thank the staff at the hospital for the care and treatment the Duchess has received.”

God save the fetus.

Kate Middleton is only a few weeks pregnant ... but already being SHOWERED with lavish gifts from tons of baby product companies ... all gunning for what could be the HOLY GRAIL of preggo publicity.

TMZ has learned ... Kate has already received swanky goodie-baskets from at least 4 U.S.-based baby product companies ... and presumably dozens, if not hundreds, more from around the globe.

The logic is simple ... Kate likes the goods ... uses goods ... is photographed with goods ... goods get WORLDWIDE publicity ... company makes a bloody fortune.

So far, we know Kate been sent kiddy learning programs from MyTalkingToddler.com ... morning sickness relief from a company called One Step Ahead ... and clothes and products from 2 high end L.A. baby boutiques.

We spoke to a rep for Bel Bambini in Beverly Hills ... who told us they sent Kate a $2,300 gift basket which included a new Bugaboo Cameleon 3 stroller (worth $978), a Fendi layette set ($265), Dior Booties ($275) and much much more.

Kate also got more than $1,000 in free baby swag from Flicka -- a high-end baby store owned by "General Hospital" star John Reilly. Management tells us they shipped over their "hot selling Choo Choo blankies" which have been worn by a whole bunch of celeb babies.

Looking like your average suburban father heading to the mall on a Saturday, the 30-year-old Duke of Cambridge rocked a comfortable baggy sweater, worn in easy fit khakis, dark dress socks and a pair of sensible walking shoes as he made his way to King George VII hospital in London today -- where Kate is being treated for severe morning sickness.

Prince William officially put a baby inside Kate Middleton's belly -- which is great news ... unless you're Prince Harry. Sorry royal dude, the queue for the throne just got longer.

Soon-to-be dad Prince William just took a big breather today in London, finally exiting the hospital where his preggo wife Kate Middleton is being treated for severe morning sickness.

William left the King Edward VII hospital moments ago with his royal entourage. The guy's been there since Kate was admitted earlier today.

As we reported, the Royal Palace made the big announcement this morning -- Kate is in the "very early stages" of pregnancy.

Kate Middleton just announced ... she's got a CRUMPET IN THE OVEN!!!

The Royal Palace has released a statement ... confirming Middleton is preggo with Prince William's royal fetus.

The Palace did not say exactly how far along Middleton is ... but noted she was in the "very early stages" of the pregnancy.

According to Middleton's reps, Kate was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital in Central London with severe morning sickness ... and will remain in the hospital for several days.

Kate and William were married back in April 2011. This is their first child together.

If the child is born while Elizabeth II is still alive, it instantly jumps Prince Harry and becomes 3rd in line for the throne.

... which means more time for naked billiards!

From the front, 32-year-old super model Gisele Bundchen is pregnant with hubby Tom Brady's baby.

From the back, you'd never know.

"90210" star Shannen Doherty HAS A BUN IN THE OVEN -- but it's not the baby kind ... it's the burger kind.

Rumors have been swirling today after a photo of Shannen emerged ... in which her stomach was a little more accentuated than usual.

But the actress says there's DEFINITELY NOT a baby in her belly ... just lunch.

She wrote, "I'm a size 2, not sporting a baby bump. That's simply the hamburger I wolfed down 2 minutes prior."

Shannen's little bundle of joy is expected to be delivered in the next couple of hours.

Lindsay Lohan and her dad might be in the middle of a nuclear flight, but LiLo's still gotta start her sisterly duties in three months ... and TMZ has learned the new baby is gonna be a BOY (phew).

Sources close to Michael Lohan tell TMZ he and his future baby mama, Kate Major, found out the good news just days before LiLo said she was cutting all ties with her father and vowed to never speak to him again ... (again).

We're told the couple is still brainstorming ideas for names ...

Awkward news for Kim Kardashian -- her ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush just announced his current GF Lilit Avagyan is pregnant with his first child ... and it BETTER not be a girl ... or else.

Reggie called in to the Paul and Young Ron Morning Show to make the announcement -- saying, "I have a little one on the way. We're pretty excited ... It's an opportunity to bring in new life and raise a child."

Win or lose, UFC badass Stephan Bonnar is hauling ass back to the U.S. following his bout against Anderson Silva at UFC 153 -- and TMZ has learned, it's all because his pregnant wife's on the verge of a baby-splosion.

Stephan's wife Andrea tells TMZ, she's due to give birth at the end of the month -- but on the off chance she pops early, Stephan wants to be by her side.

UFC 153 is taking place this weekend in Rio de Janeiro -- so Andrea tells us, Stephan plans to hop a plane as soon as he can after his fight against Silva ... and fly straight back to his wife in Vegas.

But Stephan's not just taking any old plane -- we're told UFC honcho Dana White has offered Stephan the use of his private jet to get him back to Sin City as soon as humanly possible.

We're told Stephan immediately took Dana up on his offer -- but he still has a contingency plan if all else fails ... Skype.

New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez is simply not reproducing ... TMZ has learned.

Despite reports that he knocked up his GF Eva Longoria, the actress' rep tells us, "Rumors of the couple being pregnant are false and absolutely not true."

Still, sources close to the couple tell us Mark is "truly serious" about his relationship with Eva ... with one person telling us it already seems like "true love."

The same day she revealed she's pregnant with her first child, Shakira was spotted out wearing a loose fitting black top with her hunky Spanish futbol player boyfriend Gerard Piqué in Barcelona on Wednesday.

While her baby news caused the 35-year-old Colombian pop star to cancel her performance in this weekend's iHeartRadio Music festival, Shakira is all set to replace Christina Aguilera as a coach on "The Voice" next spring.

Tori Spelling is currently in the hospital after undergoing emergency surgery this weekend ... to fix a dangerous complication from her recent childbirth -- TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Tori tell us, the actress was rushed to the hospital on Saturday. Details surrounding the complication are unclear, but we're told it stems from the c-section procedure she underwent on August 30th while giving birth to her son Finn.

Finn Davey McDermott is Tori's 4th child. Tori is still in the hospital recovering.

Interestingly, Tori experienced postpartum complications last year after giving birth to her 3rd child Hattie. Just weeks after the birth, she was hospitalized for migraines.

Levi Johnston's newborn daughter is already an expert napper -- at least judging by the hospital photos snapped after the girl was born yesterday ... and TMZ has the pics.

Levi and his girlfriend Sunny Oglesby looked like a big, happy, unmarried family at Matsu Regional Hospital in Wasilla, Alaska -- smiling and posing with their new baby Breeze Beretta moments after the parturition.

As we first reported, Breeze was born yesterday morning at 6 pounds 15 ounces.

She's Levi's second child -- after his 3-year-old son Tripp, whom he fathered with Bristol Palin.

Levi Johnston's new girlfriend just popped ... we found out she just gave birth to a healthy baby girl in Wasilla, Alaska ... and the kid's name -- Breeze Beretta Johnston.

As we first reported, Levi and his girl Sunny Oglesby did NOT plan the pregnancy -- but they're both down with it now.

Breeze Beretta was born at 5:28 AM at Matsu Regional Hospital. She's 6 pounds 15 ounces and, at 19 inches, considerably longer than the standard-issue Beretta.

Breeze is Levi's second child. His ex Bristol Palin gave birth to their son Tripp in 2008.

All hail the new Team Breezy.
