The baby boom is well and truly here.
Last year a huge amount of celebrities, namely Victoria Beckham and Natalie Portman, gave birth.
However, over the weekend a new yummy mummy joined the baby crew and that’s of course Beyonce who gave birth to a little girl Ivy Blue Carter.
We’ve therefore decided to revise our list of celebrity mums and draw up a new top five.
Victoria Beckham makes the list for her style throughout her pregnancy and after the birth, while Natalie Portman also makes the grade as a result of her fab maternity wear.
See the gallery below for the top five celebrity yummy mummies.

A big congrats to Lily Allen who has given birth to a baby girl.
The Not Fair hitmaker and husband Sam Cooper are believed to have welcomed their first child into the world this weekend, though her spokesperson declined to comment.
However, a friend told the Mail Online website that the birth had been “all good”, while Lily’s former boyfriend Seb Chew tweeted: “sending out love to lily, sam and mini cooper……YES.(sic)”
Earlier today, Lily took to her page on the social networking website to simply write: “Totes amaze (sic)”
The news comes just over a year after the 26-year-old star lost the couple’s baby six months into her pregnancy.
The singer – who also suffered a miscarriage in January 2008 – and Sam married in June, and the pair broke the news they were expecting a baby at the wedding reception.
A source said at the time: “There were tears all around. This is the happiest day of Lily and Sam’s lives and they are so in love. This is the icing on the wedding cake!”

Beyonce Knowles was terrified people would realise she was pregnant before she was ready to announce it.
The ‘(Run the World) Girls’ hitmaker and her rapper husband Jay-Z are expecting their first child together in February and while Beyonce revealed the good news at the end of August, she was sure people would guess her secret when she played a series of concerts in New York earlier that month.
Speaking at the New York screening for her new concert DVD ‘Beyonce Live at Roseland’, she said: “The whole time I definitely was thinking, ‘Everyone knows, everyone can see.’
“When you’re pregnant, it’s a little bit harder to breathe, so it was hard doing all the choreography and singing at the same time.”
Although Beyonce managed to keep her pregnancy a secret until she was ready to reveal it, her Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland recently accidently let it slip that the singer is expecting a little girl.
She said: “I’m so happy for my sister and her husband. They’re so happy in this moment right now, as they should be. They’ve made a little bundle of love, I’m so excited for them.
“I have no idea what I’m going to buy Beyonce at the baby shower because Jay is going to buy that little girl every single thing possible. She won’t be spoilt but she will be very well looked-after.
“I’ll be on hand for babysitting duties and I’m actually very good with messy diapers!”

Beyonce Knowles is not nervous about being a mother.
The 30-year-old singer is expecting her first baby with husband Jay-Z – who she married in April 2008 – and feels “blessed” that everything in her personal life is going well.
In an interview with new! magazine, she said: “It’s going really well, I am so happy with everything right now.
“I am not nervous because I know it’s happening at the right time. I felt I got married at the right time for me, and now we are having the baby at the right time. I feel like we didn’t rush anything, and now we are being blessed with everything naturally.”
Beyonce has also praised Jay-Z – whose real name is Shawn Carter – describing him as her “best friend” and says she can always rely on him for support in every part of her life.
She said: “He is my best friend, and I am so blessed to have him as my husband. We have been together since I was 20, and he is my rock during everything.”

Miranda Kerr says nothing makes her happier than her “little man” Flynn.
The Australian model and her husband Orlando Bloom welcomed their 10-month-old son Flynn into the world in January and she admits nobody has ever had a bigger impact on her life than her baby.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine, she said: “I’d say what makes me happy is having this little man. I’m the happiest when I’m surrounded by those I love and we are in a natural environment … It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Becoming a mother puts everything into perspective. You become more comfortable in your own skin.”
In the publication, Miranda poses naked, showing off her pert butt while lying on a bed and proves she has fully recovered her figure after giving birth.
Although she has to be in great physical condition for her career, the 28-year-old beauty insists she doesn’t deprive herself of culinary treats, she just limits the high calorie foods she eats.
Miranda said: “I always say life is about balance, not about depriving yourself. If you want something then I encourage you to have it. When you deprive yourself, you naturally crave it more.”
The Victoria’s Secret model also revealed she would consider following in the footsteps of her husband Orlando, 34, and try her hand at acting.
She said: “If someone approached me and it sounded interesting, I wouldn’t be opposed to it, but it’s not something I think about.”

Jessica Alba never weighs herself.
The gorgeous actress gave birth to her second child, Haven, six week ago and while she has dropped some of the baby weight quite easily with some exercise, Jessica doesn’t put herself under any pressure to lose the extra pounds.
She said: “I didn’t gain too much time so that made a difference and I started working out as my doctor said it was fine. I try to be healthy and balanced. I have definitely not lost the baby weight but it’s coming off slowly but surely. I don’t weigh myself. I just see what clothes fit.”
However, despite her exercise regime Jessica admitted she often allows herself a calorific treat every so often, especially when her husband Cash Warren – with whom she also has a three-year-old daughter Honor – orders dessert.
She told Britain’s OK! magazine: “I try not to indulge in super-fattening food but I still have desserts as Cash always orders them and they taste so good. It’s just everything in moderation.”

At the CFDA Fashion Awards Jessica wore a bump-skimming maxi dress in lilac and peach. We're obsessed with this maxi - answers on a postcard for where we can find it, please
Earlier today we reported that one of our favourite celebrity mummas, Jessica Alba, had finally given birth to her second daughter – congrats to her etc etc – and in tribute to one of our most beautiful and stylish heroes, we’re taking a look over her mum-to-be style over the past few months.
Jessica has taken on the challenge of fashionably dressing a bump with determination, and we think she totally succeeded. Pregnant ladies, take note of how the actress teamed floaty, comfortable maxi dresses with costume jewellery and hippy-inspired hair for a beautifully effortless look. We particularly loved her outfit at the 2011 Costume Institute Benefit Gala (a place where we can imagine baby bumps aren’t exactly en vogue), where she teamed a gorgeous floor-skimming silver chiffon gown with romantic, soft hair for a look that was pure Midsummer Night’s Dream.
We’ve put together a gallery of Jessica’s best maternity outfits, which you can see above. The best dressed mum in Hollywood? Oh, we think so.

Get ready to say “Awwww”, readers, because the supermodel Miranda Kerr has admitted she thinks that love is the reason behind her beauty. Awwww!
She told Australia’s Daily Telegraph newspaper: “If you have love, first of all love and appreciation for yourself, then you are going to eat healthily and you are going to take care of yourself and exercise. When you do that, you can give so much love to other people because you have the energy to give… That’s what gives me a healthy body and a healthy soul.”
Miranda must have a lot of love in her life at the moment, as she’s recently had her first baby, seven-month old boy Flynn, with the actor and heartthrob Orlando Bloom.
Come on everyone, let’s start loving each other more – if Miranda’s right then perhaps we’ll all start getting modclling jobs with Victoria’s Secret.

The super-beauty Jessica Alba, who is currently 8 months pregnant with her second baby, is already running up a plan of action for an exercise regime once the baby is born.
The new body-blitz regime will include a daily 45 minute workout session combined with a calorie limit of 1,200 calories daily. It’s times like this we don’t envy the stars – after having a baby us normal people can stay as fat as we like.
Poor Jessica has admitted that working out is not her idea of fun at all, saying, “Getting dressed and actually doing it is the worst. It’s hard to get motivated. In the gym, I have like five things to distract me: TV, iPod, magazines. Working partners are good, too, so you can chat and not just drown in your own misery. Sorry, does that sound bad? I just hate working out.” So do we, Jess, so do we!
So it’s good to know that she is planning to make the most of the end of her pregnancy before the gruelling workout and diet plan begins. If I was her, I’d be eating from Dominos in the meanwhile at least once a day.

Rachel Zoe, one of Hollywood’s most famous fashion stylists, has surprised us all with the news that she has banned herself from wearing heels while carrying her new four-month old son Skyler. (Yes, we know… Skyler.)
The diminutive fashion power-house is well-known for her passion for ankle-breaking high heels, but has decided to forgo them for now as she adjusts to being a new mummy, with the reasoning that it’s far safer to carry your baby in flats.
Zoe said about the new heel ban: “”I had better balance pregnant than not pregnant. My rule is I do not hold my child in heels.”
Quite right, and good for her, though I bet she’s already itching to get back into her Louboutins.

Kristen Stewart was horrified by the robotic baby she had to work with in ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′.
The actress – who plays Bella Swann in the vampire film series – was looking forward to her alter-ego having a child with her on-screen blood-sucking lover Edward Cullen but admits the reality was somewhat different because they used an animatronic child, which was operated by a member of the crew.
Speaking of the moment Bella meets her half-vampire, half-human child, Kristen said: “In the book that was one of my favourite parts.
“But filming it, this guy’s sweating under your eye line, they get the hand up to touch your face and then it sticks to your hair and pulls a little bit.
“You’re like, ‘Ugh! Get that thing off me. Get me a baby, this is ridiculous.’ It had hair and it’s a newborn baby.”
Robert Pattinson – who plays the baby’s vampire father Edward – was also repulsed by the artificial baby as it looked like something from a horror movie.
He is quoted by the Daily Record newspaper: “It’s Chucky from ‘Child’s Play’!”
Bella and Edward’s daughter, who they name Renesmee Carlie Cullen, grows much faster than other children and Kristen admits filming with some of the child stars was tough because they were bigger than her.
The 5ft 6in beauty said: “Occasionally I couldn’t pick up the kid.”

David and Victoria Beckham’s new daughter is believed to have been named after a Disney character.
The naming of Harper Seven, who was born in Los Angeles on Sunday, is thought to have been largely influenced by her three brothers – Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and six-year-old Cruz – who wanted to call their sister Harper Finkle, a character played by Jennifer Stone in TV show ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’.
A friend of the couple told The Sun newspaper: “The boys love ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ – and have been very vocal in helping to name their new sister.
“David and Victoria think it is a lovely name. The whole family is pleased with the choice – the boys are very happy.
“Seven is something they had talked about. They were still not certain when the baby was born but it all seemed to fall into place.
“She was born in the seventh month in the hour of seven and weighed seven pounds. It just seemed right. David is keen on the meanings and power of numbers. We all hope it will bring her luck.”
The soccer superstar also wore the number seven shirt when he played for Manchester United and captained the England team.
Following the arrival of Harper, Victoria has told husband David they are not having anymore children, insisting their family is now “complete” after going through a pregnancy that left her with back pain and bunions.
A source said: “With three great boys and now a beautiful girl Victoria is insisting their family is complete.
And a friend added: “Victoria is determined not to have to go through that again.”

Miranda Kerr thought she was “going to die” when giving birth to her son.
The Victoria’s Secret model – who is married to Orlando Bloom – delivered son Flynn naturally in January and while she has previously admitted her labour was “long and difficult” she has now revealed she struggled to cope giving birth without pain relief because the agony was so intense.
She said: “I actually thought I was going to die at one point and left my body. I was looking down on myself – the pain was so intense.
“I kept thinking, ‘How do women do this?’ But if other women have done this, I can do it too. I was determined.”
The 28-year-old catwalk beauty and her actor spouse share domestic duties, refusing to have a nanny, though they occasionally get night time assistance with the baby.
She told Australia’s InStyle magazine: “It’s whoever has their hands free. When I’m not working we don’t have a nanny. Some nights we have a lady who comes in to help out but Flynn is getting better at sleeping now, so not as often. And if I need to get on a plane for one day of work, I pump my milk and put it into the freezer for Orlando.”
Miranda and Orlando divide their time between Los Angeles and London but the model wants Flynn to have some of the country experiences she had growing up so has cultivated a vegetable garden in their Hollywood home.
She added: “Flynn would love it [Australia]; I had such a wonderful childhood in the country. He is going to have a diverse upbringing.”

David and Victoria Beckham have named their newborn daughter Harper Seven.
The soccer superstar – who wore a number seven shirt when he played for Manchester United and England – revealed the baby’s name in a posting on his Facebook page and said both mother and baby, who was born yesterday morning (10.07.11) at Los Angeles’ Cedars Sinai hospital, are “doing well”.
David – who already has three sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and six-year-old Cruz, with Victoria – wrote: “I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham. She weighed a healthy 7lbs 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA.
“Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister xx.”
David and Victoria are thought to have chosen the name Harper – which is a popular moniker for both boys and girls in the US – because of its “lovely sound”, while Seven was decided upon due because it is considered a lucky digit.
A source in Los Angeles told The Sun newspaper: “The couple loved the name Harper. It has no hidden meaning – they just fell for the name and think it has a lovely sound.
“They went for Seven as a middle name as they think it is a lucky and spiritual number. And the baby arrived around 7am in July – the seventh month.”
The tot was delivered by Caesarean section, and David recently revealed the couple’s house has been decorated in pink ready for their arrival.
He previously said: “It’s a whole new, different thing for us. To have so much pink in the house, lilac in the house and dresses. All the clothes are ready, the room’s ready. We’re really excited.”
