...Shaking Through the Ages The article on belly dancing by pregnant women noted that "the ancient art form is being practiced by moms-to-be to stay fit and ease their way through labor" [Sept. 3]. I took a belly-dancing class decades ago because it was a fun "night out with the girls" that included exercise, music, camaraderie, snacks, a little wine and gorgeous costumes. It was better than the gym, shopping or the bar scene. But we were taught that belly dancing was originally a way for Middle Eastern women to stay fit and ease labor, and only...
Lars and the Real Girl, which begins as a standard indie study of the sympathetic oddball, soon reveals itself as a gentle comedy of community. Prodded by the town doctor (Patricia Clarkson), Gus and his pregnant wife Karin (Emily Mortimer) figure out that for Lars, Bianca is not a sex object but a love object--an outlet for the tenderness he has never been able to express and that his indulgent friends are thrilled to see bloom.

But a pregnancy in its early stages would be difficult to spot without an autopsy, Baker conceded, which was never performed. The French didn't run a pregnancy test before the body...
...played down several issues that would have supported Al Fayed's obsessive quest. For example, the jury will have to consider whether or not Diana was pregnant when she died. But Baker showed them the photo that some say proves she was, one in which a swimsuit-clad Diana appears to have a rounded belly - then stated that it was taken before Diana and Dodi even met. On claims that the couple were engaged, Baker noted that, yes, Diana had once teased journalists with a promise that "you're going to get a big surprise" - but, again, that was before...
