Baby Watch

Kim Kardashian opened up about a story TMZ broke in December 2015 ... no more pregnancies for her.

Kim says she wants a 3rd kid badly, but surrogacy seems to be her only option.

As we reported, she suffers from placenta accreta -- a potentially life-threatening condition caused when the blood vessels and other parts of the placenta grow too deeply into the uterine wall.

Kim underwent surgery on her uterus to correct the problem, but it was unsuccessful.

Josh Altman gave one of Craig's menu items very high praise, and if his review holds up ... his wife should be giving birth any hour now -- she also might have had an orgasm.

We got the "Million Dollar Listing" star Saturday night heading into Craig's with his super pregnant wife, Heather. Josh had only one thing on his mind -- Heather pushing out that baby, which is now 5 days overdue.

He was hoping a particular dish would push her over the edge ... in more ways than one. Check out what Josh calls the magic meal.

Apologies to April the Giraffe, but Claudia Jordan and all other black people just don't care if she ever gives birth ... at least that's what Claudia thinks.

The former 'Real Housewife' couldn't believe it when we told her what an Internet sensation the knocked up giraffe has become. Seriously, we had to break it down for her outside Catch, and she immediately dropped some serious eye rolls before blaming this on a particular group of people.

And she says this animal obsession thing goes way beyond giraffes.

Juanes -- the insanely popular Colombian singer -- knows what to listen to if you wanna make a baby.

We got the Latin rock star at Catch Wednesday when he gave our photog -- who's in the market for a bambino -- some advice on background noise.

Juanes is pretty excited about his first English-speaking album, "Goodbye For Now," which he recorded with Poo Bear, Justin Bieber's producer.

A friend of Keshia Knight Pulliam's estranged husband says Ed Hartwell's girlfriend made an ominous request about something to "cause a miscarriage" during Keshia's pregnancy.

The friend, Damia Ward-Henley, made the revelation in new court docs filed by Keshia in her divorce case. Damia describes herself as a friend of Ed and Tonya Carroll ... who she says Ed started dating while he was still married to Keshia. According to the docs, Damia says Tonya found out Keshia was pregnant in June 2016, and was very upset because she wanted Ed to leave Keshia.

In the docs, Damia says Tonya told her "she wanted to get something that would cause someone to have a miscarriage." Damia says she shot down the request and told Tonya and Ed to break off their adulterous relationship.

Keshia also filed docs saying she's worried Ed -- an ex-NFL player -- is unfit to care for their 2-month-old daughter because she's seen him take OxyContin. She says Ed testified in a lawsuit with the NFL that he's suffering severe physical and mental problems, and needs to take many drugs to cope.

The One Direction family just got a little bigger ... Liam Payne's a new dad to a healthy baby boy.

Payne's GF Cheryl Cole posted a pic of Payne and son Saturday -- revealing she delivered on Wednesday -- and saying, "We are all madly in love and overwhelmingly happy with our little arrival.

23-year-old Payne is the second member of 1D to become a daddy ... Louis Tomlinson has a one-year-old son.

Big news for J.R. Smith and his family ... their micro-preemie baby Dakota is thiiiis close to crossing the 3-pound mark and her breathing tube is out!

Welcome to the Hollywood game ... where stars go out to be seen ... and then act like they can't be bothered.

Today's episode stars Russell Wilson and Ciara who hit one of the top 3 most paparazzi-packed places in town Wednesday night, Mr Chow ... and it wasn't for the food.

So, what was the endgame? Attention ... without trying to seem to desperate for it.

See ya at Catch.

Colton Haynes is on the fast-track ... a quickie wedding followed real quick by some bambinos.

The "Teen Wolf" star was all smiles at LAX Thursday after getting engaged to Jeff Leatham in Cabo.

He knows at least one song they'll play at the wedding.

Kathy Hilton has some words of regret for falsely impregnating Jennifer Aniston.

Kim Richards and Kathy were out Wednesday night at Craig's with Kyle Richards and Kris Jenner ... along with a sea of paps.

Kathy -- who turned 58 and was out celebrating her birthday -- eats crow after her cake for the Jen tweet.

Kim also gives us her take on Ben's recent rehab stint. You'll recall ... she's completed rehab herself a time or two.

Chad Michael Murray isn't catching any beauty sleep -- not that it shows -- now that baby no. 2 has arrived, but he's getting some relief from work.

We got the "One Tree Hill" star at LAX Wednesday, flying outta town 2 days after he and his wife, Sarah, welcomed a baby girl. They already have a 22-month-old son, so Chad gave us the 411 on juggling work and daddy duty.

Sounds like he's been working night shifts at home, like most new parents, so he was definitely looking forward to a 6 hour flight.

April the Giraffe is about to become a cash cow, for the benefit of the animals.

The long-necked, pregnant creature has had a camera trained on her for more than a month, and millions have watched and waited for what promises to be an awesome delivery.

Now here's the money part. The live stream had a sponsor, but the pregnancy has gone on so long the deal just expired. When that sponsor signed on, the live stream wasn't a thing so all the sponsor promised to do was feed the beast ... literally, by sending food to the Animal Adventure Park in NY.

Now, with 80 million viewers and 2 billion viewed minutes, the sponsorship is worth a bundle, and we've learned the Park is looking for a new sponsor who will pay big money to get its logo on the feed, which will last until the baby giraffe is 5 days old.

The Park is being super charitable ... 1/3 of the profits will go to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation and the rest of the loot will go toward the care of April, her kid and her animal pals.

April the Giraffe's had millions of people waiting -- now impatiently -- for more than a month for her to give birth, but neither she nor her baby are in danger.

The Animal Adventure Park in upstate NY set up a live stream in early February ... anticipating she'd shortly give birth. No dice though, and the long wait has April's loyal viewers wondering what the hell's happening!

A rep for the park says they aren't worried about the lengthy delay ... in fact, it's natural. We're told April's not in full labor yet, but the fetus is active and there are biological signs (we'll spare you the gory details) she's close to popping.

We're told vets won't intervene until they see the positioning of the calf. Ideally, employees hope to see the baby's front hooves, knees, snout and neck first.

If that happens, they'll sit back and let April do her thing, but if there's any sign the calf is breech ... the vet team is ready to go.

Any day now, April.

Ciara showed everyone multiple times Saturday she's ok after her scary car crash the day before.

Ciara and hubby Russell Wilson strolled through WeHo with a tasty treat, then Russell took the wheel in their Rolls, and then they rolled into Catch for some grub.

2:20 PM PT -- Ciara's rep tells TMZ, "The driver was illegally in the bus lane and hit the right side of her car."

1:44 PM PT -- Russell Wilson just let everyone know Ciara is ok, tweeting, "Momma Wilson & Baby Wilson are feeling great! God is good!"

Ciara -- who's pregnant and in her 3rd trimester -- was involved in a car crash in L.A. moments ago ... TMZ has learned.

Witnesses tell us Ciara was driving her white Mercedes SUV and was making a left turn when a grey Volvo SUV slammed into the front passenger side of her vehicle.

Police and Fire Dept. responded to the scene. We're told Ciara was clutching her chest and shoulder, but walking around and talking on her phone.

Law enforcement sources tell us Ciara and the other driver exchanged information, but neither of them was seriously injured.

Ciara's Artsy Pregnancy Photo Checklist:

-- Strip down to undies to show off belly? Check.

-- Nude baby Future? Check.

-- Possibly naked Russell Wilson pressing his face into your back while reaching around to caress belly? Check and mate.
