Covers
At about the same time "(You're) Having My Baby" was climbing the Hot 100, a female country vocalist named Sunday Sharpe recorded a cover version called "I'm Having Your Baby." With lyrics altered to the female perspective but otherwise identical to Anka's version, "I'm Having Your Baby" peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in October 1974.
The Coolies covered "Having My Baby" in 1986 on their first album, dig..? on DB Records. While Anka's version of "Having My Baby" received criticism for perceived sexist undertones, Coolies lead singer Clay Harper takes it to a whole new level during a brief spoken interlude at the end of the song in which he reveals that she is not the only woman in town having his baby. Thus, he must leave town. The song was also covered on November 18, 2009 episode of Glee.
