Although Panettier didn't really go into labor, we are sure that her unborn son or daughter, gave her a couple of punches and kicks.

The 24-year-old said, "I accept my ALS Challenge," as she continued, she called out who she wanted to nominate. "I renominate Kacey Musgraves - you're not getting out of this, [fiance] Wladimir Klitschko, and my unborn child, that actress said.

For the record the pregnant star noted: "Yup, that's cold."
