David Lynch nostalgia is in full effect with the release of the awesomely weird, rebooted Twin Peaks, and it seems we are now back to revisiting the more arcane offerings in the director’s portfolio.
Even as more people have become aware of the inanity of “post-baby body” articles that pop up after famous women give birth, that hasn’t stopped celebrity rags from indulging in this tradition. See: People’s story this month about Megan Fox posing in lingerie “post-baby.” Or last summer, when Chrissy Teigen’s …
The conditions at the makeshift refugee camp at Piraeus Port in Athens were bad in any weather. Torn, battered camping tents arranged under highway flyovers, on a stretch of concrete and in a massive, abandoned stone warehouse. Three rows of port-a-potties available for more than 2,000 people. Lines for…
Beyoncé’s twin-pregnancy announcement yesterday seemed to make the Hive (aka practically everyone) feel like Carol Anne in Poltergeist after she was kidnapped by malevolent spirits; we were trapped inside a moonless wormhole (Trump) until we heard our mom (Bey) plead if but for a second, “Carol Anne! Run into the…
Beyonce is pregnant y’all. With twins.
Monday night’s episode of Love & Hip-Hop cut through the staged bullshit for once and aired a real moment in which cast member Remy Ma learns that she’s lost her baby.
About a month ago I read the news that Bradley Cooper’s girlfriend, a model named Irina Shayk, had become pregnant with their first child. I think I saw the story on People. Or maybe E! Online. Page Six? Wherever it was, I believed it. Why not?, I thought. Seems legit!
By the time you read this, I will be on maternity leave. A little quick math will reveal that I have therefore laid off the liquor for nearly a year. A year with several occasions where—to put it mildly—I could have used a drink.
The University Medical Center (UMC) in Utrecht, Netherlands has launched an investigation into fertility treatments occurring between mid-April 2015 and mid-November 2016 after discovering that up to 26 women may have been fertilized with the sperm of the wrong man.
Many women experiencing the unpleasant symptoms of early pregnancy, like morning sickness, have turned to alternate forms of treatment. Something a bit more natural and green. Unfortunately, marijuana can have permanent effects on your fetus.
In the 2004 film Mean Girls, Amanda Seyfried’s character famously reveals that her breasts “can always tell when it’s gonna rain.” Ha ha, right? Funny line! Great scene! But it’s fiction. Amanda Seyfried is not Karen Smith and can’t predict rain...but she can smell a lightning storm.
Contrary to the global trend of decreasing maternal mortality, the United States—always looking to go against the grain, even when it means the death of American women—has seen an increase in maternal deaths since 2000.
Upon return from their very (very, very, very) lengthy summer break, Senate Democrats blocked a $1.1 billion Zika funding bill, which has failed yet again. This time, Democrats objected because of language that would prevent Planned Parenthood from receiving contraception funding (the virus can be sexually…
According to a new study in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology, Texas’ maternal mortality rate had doubled over a two-year period. More troublingly, while Texas showed the sharpest increase of maternal deaths, the study found that the overall maternal mortality rate within the United States has increased from 2000…
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have issued a really, really specific travel advisory, telling pregnant women to stay away from Miami’s Wynwood Art District, where 14 cases of Zika have been reported. Pregnant women who visited the neighborhood since mid-June are also being advised to get tested for the…
Tabloids like Star, OK!, and In Touch have covered Jennifer Aniston’s countless pregnancies for years. Some were miracles, some were twins, and more than a few were surprises, but they all had one thing in common: they were fake. But after years of sitting silently as tabloids made up stories about her uterus—and just…
Actress Liv Tyler—who you may have recently seen in The Leftovers and adored once upon a time in Empire Records—has given birth to a baby girl. She and fiancé David Gardner have named her Lula Rose Gardner.
At 20 weeks pregnant, I started to feel like I was losing my mind. Not only was I leaving my phone and keys everywhere, a habit I regress into whenever I’m balancing more than I can handle, but worse, I began making the kind of mistakes in my pop culture writing I’d be horrified to find in someone else’s drafts:…
Lauded Nigerian author and celebrated feminist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie casually dropped that she had recently given birth in an interview with the Financial Times, subsequently catching her interviewer (and fans) unawares. And in case you were wondering, her decision to keep it quiet had a feminist animus.
From birth to age 29, Chrissy Teigen had a “pre-baby body.” During the 40ish weeks she was pregnant with Luna (whom she conceived with John Legend’s body), she had a “pregnancy body.” Now that she has given birth, Teigen has a “post-baby body,” which marks her body’s final living form before reaching “post-mortem.”
