If there’s one thing quarantine has taught many moms this year, it’s exactly how far we can stretch before we hit the breaking point. Balancing the demands of jobs, virtual schooling (and the tech headaches that come with it), health concerns, everyday parenting… the list goes on. And so do moms. Is it any wonder we need a break? Chicago Med star Yaya DaCosta is no different. The actress, doula, and mom to a 7-year-old son recently helped kick off SheKnows’ first-ever SK Conversations event, Back to Care (sponsored by BAND-AID® Brand), where she opened up about parenting during a pandemic and how she still manages to make time for self-care....

Sometimes you’re in the mood to get some action but don’t actually feel like having anything inside you (Or, maybe, we’re living in a pandemic where the safest sex partner is your own well-washed hand). Whether you’re on your period, have a UTI or just plain aren’t in the mood for is, there are plenty of other ways for you and your partner to get off together without having old-fashioned intercourse....

Anxiety is a normal part of being a parent. From dealing with countless unknowns to being in charge of other people’s lives, there is always plenty to worry about. But some parents who live with anxiety (both diagnosed and undiagnosed) beyond day-to-day nervousness may also be concerned about whether they can pass their anxiety down to their kids. While the answer depends on several factors, there is a strong correlation between anxious parents and anxious kids....

While speculation about trouble in Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s marriage isn’t exactly new, the latest comes from a surprising — and, in this case, heartbreaking — source: West himself. The rapper took to Twitter on Wednesday morning with incendiary claims about the state of his relationship with his wife of six years. And despite his insistence that he wants Kardashian (and her family) out of his life, it seems clear that West might need her now more than ever....

After the murder of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in Minneapolis, citizens took to the streets in protest. Since then, there has been at least one protest in every U.S. state; with cities like New York and Washington, D.C. protesting every night since Floyd’s untimely death, many under the umbrella of the Black Lives Matter movement....

Human vaginas are complicated chemistry experiments that can sometimes be problematic when something disrupts their pH or the natural balance of bacteria. And, unfortunately, even sex acts can occasionally be the cause of these problems — including in the case of bacterial vaginosis, or BV, (a common bacterial infection that is not sexually transmitted) and oral sex. According to a study in the journal PLOS Biology, there are potential links between bacterial vaginosis and oral sex — due to the presence of a bacteria that is also commonly found in human mouths....

As a busy mom juggling both her decades-long career in Hollywood and as a parent to her two daughters — Olive, 9, and Frankie, 7, Drew Barrymore is getting real about why she’s not about that ‘looks perfect on Instagram’ kinda life. In an interview with U.K. magazine YOU, the talk show host explains why she doesn’t want to “come across as someone who has their sh*t together,” and instead embraces the “messiness of life” when it comes to co-parenting Olive and Frankie with her ex-husband, Will Kopelman....

It’s understood that if you are one of the one to two percent of pregnant people who experience hyperemesis gravidarum — an extreme form of morning sickness— (HG), you aren’t having a positive mind and body experience. New research on the condition out of Imperial College London (published in BMJ Open) found that there’s a link between severe morning sickness and an increased risk of experiencing depression during and after pregnancy....

We’ve all heard the phrase “sitting is the new smoking,” meaning it’s generally not great for your health to not move around too much. Research has linked sitting for long periods of time with a number of health concerns, including heart disease and diabetes. Less severely, prolonged sitting can increase pain, specifically with tight hip flexors and hamstrings. Additionally, sitting on your butt all day, not surprisingly, affects your butt and causes a condition called gluteal amnesia, also known as “dead butt syndrome....

One of the trickiest aspects of parenting is to know when and how to explain complex ideas. Telling kids there’s no such thing as monsters, telling them where babies come from… even those are pretty straightforward. But what about topics like racism, sexism, and violence? As much as we hate to admit it — and hate to be here — we live in an age, and a nation, of gun violence....

It’s been nearly two decades since the third installment of The Matrix film series hit theaters.

When Jeff Sessions said recently, of ICE’s mission to separate migrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border, that “we need to take away children,” as a foster mother I was hardly surprised. ICE pulling children from their mothers’ arms is a logical extension of the way America treats the most vulnerable on its soil. In attempting to deter illegal immigration by threatening to separate kids from their parents, Sessions is threatening the same treatment that already happens to over two hundred thousand American children and their families each year....

As we’ve learned with Prince William and Prince Harry, growing up royal comes with a certain degree of responsibility — a degree that’s rather higher if you’re in line for the throne as William is, and as his father Prince Charles is before him. In upcoming royals tell-all book Battle of Brothers: The Inside Story of a Family in Tumult, British historian Robert Lacey unpacks the growing rift between William and Harry, going all the way back to their parents’ marriage and what they witnessed growing up....

We get it, feeding kids is a touchy subject from day one. Breast or bottle? Eat at the table or while watching a tablet? To snack, or not to snack? Well, the latest dinner debate came from one dad on Reddit who has been battling it out with his ex when it comes to portion sizes. “My 9-year-old son has started to ask for adult meals when taken out for food,” he said in the original post....
