It takes me a minute and a half to walk from the doctor’s communal office to the staff break room. Now that I am nine months pregnant, I hear a lot within those 90 seconds: “About to pop, doc!” “Should I get you a walker, doc?” “You and that waddle!” Smiling politely in response, I make my undignified way down the hall. Unfortunately, I never thought I looked undignified until I heard these comments....

If you aren’t getting pregnant as speedily as you’d hoped, you’ve probably spent plenty of hours researching ways to make it happen, from nutrition tricks to the best positions and times of day to have sex. Well, let us save you from falling even deeper down the Google rabbit hole and tell you this now: Unfortunately, there’s really no magic sex position that increases your odds of having a baby....

Family camping trips can be like a rite of passage. From setting up camp to searching for firewood, everyone had their role. Growing up with an entire family of scouts (my dad and brother are proud Boy Scouts and my mom and I, Girl Scouts), camping as a whole activity genre was practically in my blood — and yes, that includes backyard camping trips. Related story 5 Valentine’s Day Gifts That Will Arrive in Time for All of You Last-Minute Shoppers When you relocate the excursion and set up camp in your backyard, sure, some aspects of “roughing it” in the wild are eliminated (thanks in large part to the existence of running water and bathrooms in your home), but the bonding experience can be just as strong....

It looks like things might be resembling some sort of normal existence this summer. Hallelujah! But wait. That means potentially meeting people and doing “normal” things, like exercising at the gym or going to a fitness class you loved in your former life. If you’ve been shunning your fitness routine for Netflix this year (and, let’s be honest, who hasn’t?) the idea of working out again might feel daunting. While your progress might have regressed since the last time you regularly sweated it out, all is not lost!...

When it comes to our mental health, everyone needs a bit of extra help. This is true for adults, it’s true for teens and it’s true for even our little ones — who are new to being a person and all the Great Big Emotions that come with it. For grown-ups we have a lot more tools — particularly mental health apps — at our disposal designed to help our fully-developed adult minds develop coping strategies, cultivate mindfulness and check-in with ourselves, but what about apps designed for little brains?...

These days, being a plant lady is a badge of honor. Aside from the prestige, curating a windowsill flowing with greenery can also have mental and health benefits too. Not only does bringing the outdoors inside give you the feeling of being in a lush garden far away (especially if you don’t have a patio or balcony to retreat to), but some plants can remove nasty indoor chemicals. However, if you have kids or pets, you’ll need to be a tiny bit more cautious picking out indoor plants as many can be toxic to them — or are simply dangerous due to their pointy leaves or presence of thorns....

As parents, we all want to provide the best of everything for our children — education, care, attention, activities, and experiences, and also just plain fun. Providing for our children and keeping all of those balls in the air can be challenging, but we do it. But when outside pressures enter the picture, like hello, 2020, it can get hard. Then, when family members, like judgy grandparents chime in with unsolicited opinions, that’s especially stressful....

If you ever need someone willing to go to bat for you, you can’t hope for more of a dream team in Hollywood than Greta Gerwig, Ava DuVernay and Reese Witherspoon. And right now, these heavy-hitters — along with more than 40 other female directors — are taking a swing at the Directors Guild of America on behalf of new and expectant moms.

When I learned that I was pregnant with my first child, I was thrilled; when I learned that I was expecting a baby boy, I became worried — growing up with a Cuban papi who was classically machista, I feared that my son would grow up this way too. I was determined to teach him about the beauty and diversity that exists within the Latinx community. For the first 18 years of my life, the only Latinx people I knew were Cuban, just like me....

But after connecting with Walmart and Always on their #EndPeriodPoverty campaign and learning from medical professionals, young menstruators and activists, the former Dawson’s Creek star says that working to make menstrual products accessible is just a no-brainer. “You know, it’s one of those things that before I had kids, as a guy, I just never thought about....
