You weren't imagining it: The Duchess of Cambridge was the subject of the most pregnancy hysteria this year, with 13 mentions on the covers of major tabloids. The publications were calling for "A Baby for Christmas" in November and announcing the impending arrival of twins since September.

2. Jessica Simpson: 9 Covers

As US Weekly notes, "OMG! She's Pregnant Again," so Simpson is likely to be a major contender for next year's list as well.

3. Kourtney Kardashian: 9 Covers

The reality star was allegedly "Pregnant & Betrayed" repeatedly.

4. Jennifer Aniston: 8 Covers

Her number is strikingly high for someone who has never actually confirmed a pregnancy. But her supposed baby fever has long been part of the tabloids' narrative about her. "After years of disappointment," reads one cover line, "Jen and fiance Justin are expecting a baby girl next May."

5. Kim Kardashian: 5 Covers

"Twins!" allegedly.

Tabloid covers often refer to them collectively, with photos of several at once and no indication of who is actually pregnant.

"I'll Raise This Baby Alone" proclaimed one cover, despite the fact that Khloe Kardashian has never confirmed a pregnancy.
