The same day that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) clarified formally that they endorsed COVID-19 vaccinations for pregnant people, two maternal fetal health specialists took to Amy Schumer’s Instagram to give pregnant people and those that love them some in depth information on the dangerous potential of getting COVID-19 while pregnant and unvaccinated. Schumer shared a video from Dr. Cara Pessel and Dr. Sarah Pachtman Shetty, MD that not only talked about the realities of getting sick with COVID-19 while pregnant and to offer some helpful ways to explain how the vaccines being offered actually work (and how they cannot harm a pregnant person or their baby)....

Madonna looks like a goddess on the cover of Vanity Fair’s Spanish, Italian, and French editions of the Icon Issue for Feb. 2023. She is wearing a fabulous headpiece over two veils, looking otherworldly — it’s art, honestly. So, it’s very fitting that the mom of six turned to art when reflecting on raising her children, and it’s a new perspective I’ve never thought about before. “Today I am still struggling to understand how to be a mother and do my job,” she told Vanity Fair, per PEOPLE, describing motherhood as “the most difficult, the hardest battle....

We recently learned that Meghan Markle is an expensive woman to hear from, with speaking fees to the tune of $1 million. But teenage burn victim Althea Bernstein had a very different kind of exchange with the Duchess of Sussex, who asked for Bernstein’s personal phone number after hearing the tragic story of her attack. Bernstein, a Madison, Wisconsin resident, had her face set on fire by white men yelling racial slurs, and the attack is being investigated as a hate crime....

My son is brown. Dark-brown-sugar-left-on-the-stove-to-caramelize brown. He is short and muscular, with a wide back and a high, track booty like his dad. He is deep-voiced despite his mere five years. He’s full of gumption, eye rolls, and head cocks, with a smart mouth and lip smacks. He is expressive. “That really hurts!” He yelled at the nurse when he got his shots. “Don’t pull on me!” He protested when I yanked him in the car....

“Welcome! I’m Jerry. Can I take your coat? Would you like anything to drink?” The man greeting me at the door of the Manhattan townhouse wasn’t some publicist or cater waiter, but actor Jerry O’Connell. I was speechless with surprise at first, but I probably shouldn’t have been. It was, after all, the unveiling of wife Rebecca Romijn‘s new jewelry line Charlie Dolly, named after the couple’s twin 11-year-old daughters, and this family is nonstop supportive of each other....

Rocky star Sylvester Stallone has just made a wrong move — according to some of his most vocal fans on Twitter, anyway. On Friday, Page Six reported via an unnamed source who had personally seen Stallone at the club that the actor had become a member at the Palm Beach, Florida Mar-a-Lago club, owned (and frequented) by none other than former President Donald J. Trump. While some fans are already defending the star from shadowy attacks of “cancel culture,” many others on Twitter have lashed out at Stallone for making this show of support to a former president whose time in office ended in such violence and division....

One of the most hectic times for a parent can be feeding time (crossing your fingers they’ll eat those mashed peas), so the last thing you need is a booster seat that’s hard to clean. Plus, you want to make sure it’s extremely secure for your little one to sit in while they’re eating as fussy moments and accidents are bound to happen. While every booster seat has different features, you may or may not need them all....

There’s nothing that feels more like a fresh start than a good deep clean around the house. It leaves you with clarity and a sense of new beginnings. While most of us ensure that we check off that weekly clean in the bathroom, closet, and kitchen, chances are you might be leaving out some things that are closer to you than all of those things: your electronics. Between calling, texting, typing, or listing, your devices are by your side the entire day and travel with you everywhere you go....

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission. Most birth moms kick off their postpartum wardrobe with the ever-classy hospital gown and mesh underpants. But don’t worry; it gets better. While there’s certainly no shame in lounging around with your newborn in baggy sweats and XL T-shirts — or doing the skin-to-skin (read: naked) thing as long as possible — parents who want to make breastfeeding a snap without sacrificing their sense of style have plenty of choices with the items ahead: the very best nursing tops on the market right now....

While the larger picture of maternal mortality rates in the United States is one that can be traced to many different factors, a new study published in JAMA Psychiatry looks closer at instances of suicidal thoughts and intentional harm in people who are pregnant or recently gave birth and found that there was as significant increase in a 12 year period between January 2006 and December 2017. According to researchers, “Pregnancy-related suicides occur in 1....

When it comes to getting a breast cancer diagnosis, most people only think about cisgender women. The association makes sense: It is the second most common cancer among cis women, and media depictions of this form of cancer, from fiction to PSAs, almost always center their experiences. Although they are the demographic most impacted by breast cancer, cis women aren’t the only people susceptible to this illness. Everyone is born with some amount of breast tissue, and anyone who has breast tissue can technically be diagnosed with breast cancer....

We don’t love the term bridezilla, because it makes light of the very real anxiety, stress, and frustration that can come along with planning a wedding. But, then we read a story about a bride who demanded her 15-year-old future nephew get his hair cut or risk losing his position as “flower dude” in her wedding and we remember why the term has such staying power. Redditor Not_a_cat19 found herself squaring off against her soon-to-be sister-in-law over her son’s hair recently, so she took to the AITA subreddit to see if she was out of line for pushing back on the bride’s demands....

In this country, white parents raising white kids have the luxury of not really learning much history beyond what serves the white narrative. The status quo largely works for white parents, especially those who also benefit from ability, religious, gender, and/or heterosexual privilege. Even as we pay lip service to celebrating MLK Day, we can float along ignorantly oblivious of the decades of organizing, protesting, and movement-building Black people have done in the name of equality and justice....
