This summer alone, a ton of new celebrity baby announcements have rolled in. With that, its only right that we celebrate the beautiful Black women bringing new life into the world. In the midst of swollen feet, cravings and every other body change that comes with pregnancy, these ladies are making the ultimate labor of love (creating life) look like a walk in the park.
Danielle Brooks is steady working, Eva Marcille is steady slaying and Keyshia Cole is steady teasing her new projects (which, appropriately, including the expansion of her family.)
Take a scroll through the gallery as we big up the celebrity mothers making pregnancy look like a walk in the park.
