This story is part of a larger conversation on the Black Maternal Health Crisis. There’s a certain level of anxiety that comes with being a Black woman at the doctor’s office. You question whether you’ll be patronized, dismissed, or ignored, or if this will be one of the few occasions where you’re actually listened to and leave feeling like everyone should when they visit their healthcare provider. This level of anxiety is only amplified when you’re a Black mom as it’s now two lives you have to make sure receive proper care, which can, unfortunately, be difficult to accomplish....

Spoiler Warning: This article contains spoilers for Outlander Season 5, Episode 8, “Famous Last Words.” Remember when Outlander took a two week break without telling us? Thankfully, it’s back. Last episode, “The Ballad of Roger Mac,” was, without question, the best episode in two years. I can still hear Sam Heughan’s Jamie screaming, “Help me,” and then begging Murtagh to live as Claire looked on helplessly. The episode ended with Brianna, Jamie and Claire seeing Roger’s hanging body....

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission. HBO Max has confirmed that they’ll be airing a ten-episode Sex and the City reboot called And Just Like That…, but their brief teaser shared by stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis has left fans with way more questions than answers. For example, while it’s clear that Kim Cattrall’s Samantha Jones won’t be part of the reboot, there’s no indication of how they’ll address her absence (whether the show is worth doing without Samantha’s character is a question other outlets have been debating)....

When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, I know I’m guilty of starting off strong and then losing momentum once the clock strikes February, but this time around, I’m committed to doing what it takes to ensure I’m reaching my goals in 2022—including my money goals....

After 16 years of sobriety, Dax Shepard opened up about his recent relapse on Friday during an episode of his podcast Armchair Expert. During the Sept. 25 episode, the 45-year-old actor bravely shared he’d been taking painkillers and relapsed after years of being sober. “Eight years into sobriety, I had not done a single shady thing, I hadn’t done anything gray,” he recalled. But in 2012, while dealing with his late father’s terminal cancer diagnosis, he got into a motorcycle accident on his way to the Parenthood set....

Before my post as the shopping editor here at SheKnows, I was a beauty writer for many years. Yes, it’s just as fabulous as it sounds — I played with makeup and skincare every day. But in all seriousness, I consider myself lucky that I spent my 9-5 job testing some of the best beauty and skincare products on the market, while sharing their benefits with thousands of readers....

From the moment they won’t arrive on their due dates and follow the “birth plan,” through those toddler tantrums, willful tween arguments, and on to teenage drama, our children are going to fight to get their way. And we are going to fight back. After all, we don’t want to raise them to be spoiled, irresponsible, or unsafe, right? Still, experts tell us that with some of these battles, it’s OK to “lose” to our kids....

With children back in school, taking the necessary measures to help ensure their immune system and overall wellbeing is supported year-round is something that may be top of mind for many parents. In addition to staying up to date with recommended childhood vaccinations, the Centers for Disease Control also says regular well-child visits are an essential part of your little one’s overall wellness as it’s an opportunity to track growth and developmental milestones and discuss any concerns about your child’s health....

As my two daughters like to remind me, I went a little overboard talking to them about sex and consent and anatomical terms when they were young. In my defense, I wanted to make sure they knew all the things I had to discover on my own, long before they ever needed the information. I wanted them to know they could come to me to talk birds and bees — or the definition of a BJ....

Nick Cordero’s son Elvis was just 9 months old when the Broadway star was admitted to the hospital with COVID-19. That was the last time he saw his dad in person. But the 1-year-old’s mother, Amanda Kloots, is doing her best to help her son remember his father, following his death over the weekend. On her Instagram Stories on Thursday, Kloots shared a video of Elvis holding a phone, watching a video of his dad as she encourages him to “Give Dada a kiss....

Porn star Stormy Daniels continues to be a thorn in Donald Trump’s side and now that there are New York State and Manhattan criminal investigations going on, she’s ready to testify. Even though she’s not backing down against the former president, prosecutors in both cases haven’t exactly been knocking down her door for her evidence — which may be why the Full Disclosure author chose to broadcast exactly what evidence she has on CNN in case they change their minds....

Did you know these little rectangles of paper we use as flash cards, recipe cards and more were invented more than 200 years ago by one of the greatest minds in history? Neither did we, until now. What we have always known is that the humble 3×5 card is an ingenius tool for getting organized — so it tracks that an actual genius created them. Way back in 1767, Swedish botanist, zoologist and physician Carl Linneaus (you might know him as the guy who started the system of binomial nomenclature, like calling us Homo sapiens) was overloaded with the information he was recording on plants and animals....

With a constantly growing baby on your hands, it can be next to impossible to keep the nursery (let alone your entire house) organized. Between outgrowing clothes, a pile of diapers and supplies to go with them, and an overflowing supply of gifts, there just doesn’t seem to be a formula to control the mess. However, in the spirit of Marie Kondo, we have a few tricks up our sleeve to combat the stressful mess that your little one’s belongings can bring....

Now that face masks have become a part of your child’s everyday life, it’s always smart to have a few extra on hand. Face masks get dirty, they get lost, and they break down. The disposable ones should only really be worn once, and while the cloth ones can last a certain amount of washes, they’re not indestructible. So yes, extras, please! Our mission at SheKnows is to empower and inspire women, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do....
