More and more Americans are losing the ability to safely terminate a pregnancy in their state, yet the costs associated with giving birth remain sky-high. A recent report from the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) found that the average out-of-pocket cost of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care for insured Americans is a whopping $2,854. That total can scale up or down depending on factors like how a baby is delivered — so, vaginal birth versus a C-section delivery — or if the pregnancy was high-risk....

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a baby formula recall over fears of bacterial contamination. On Thursday, the FDA announced an investigation of formula brands Similac, Alimentum, and EleCare after four babies from Minnesota, Ohio, and Texas became ill after using the products, all of whom were hospitalized and one who died. The concerns are related to Cronobacter sakazakii (which can cause sepsis or neonatal meningitis) and Salmonella Newport infections....

One of the greatest challenges in the coronavirus pandemic has been the race for scientists and healthcare providers to understand how this virus moves through human bodies (diverse and complicated as we are), to ensure we find the most effective ways to reduce harm and treat it and the long- and short-term effects patients recovering from COVID-19 might experience. In one of the latest developments in that mission, researchers out of Emory University found that some survivors of COVID-19 have immune system complications reminiscent of lupus and rheumatoid arthritis....

It’s rare when our timelines are blessed with a Demi Moore picture with one of her daughters. But getting one of Moore and youngest daughter Tallulah? That’s super rare. On Feb 3, Moore posted a silly photo of her and Tallulah on their tiptoes, arms waving in the air in honor of Tallulah’s 28th birthday. She posted it with the touching caption, “Tallulah. You are a magical being. It is a privilege and honor to be your mother and witness the radiant beauty that emanates through and from you....

Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of former POTUS Donald J. Trump, has reportedly been promoted to a senior adviser role within the Trump family’s inner circle, after years in which sibling Ivanka Trump, along with husband Jared Kushner, was the one to hold that title while their father was in the White House (this is a good time to listen to Demi Adejuyigbe’s alternate Succession theme song, if you’ve never heard it....

Even during good years, most of us have a hard time disappointing our children, but 2020 has truly tested our ability to say “no” — and that holds true for Eva Mendes, too. The actor displayed some very funny evidence of this on Instagram on Thursday, and exchanged comments with fans about the many ways we’re letting mom guilt get the best of us these days. “My little girl wanted to cut out Maria Callas’ face from the record cover,” Mendes, mom to 6-year-old Esmerelda and 4-year-old Amada, captioned a photo of herself looking through the hole where the opera singer’s face used to be....

Pumpkin carving is all fun and games until you realize you have to scoop all the guts out from the inside — and that’s literally step number one. Luckily, there’s an easier way to clean out the inside of a pumpkin so you can get to jack-o’-lantern carving (and pumpkin seed roasting) a lot faster. According to Jennifer Garner, all you need is a hand mixer. “Spoiler alert: the hand mixer hack works!...

Some things just take time, and that’s okay. Case in point? Right now, Jennifer Garner doesn’t want her kids to meet Ben Affleck’s new girlfriend Ana de Armas — which makes sense, given he and de Armas have only been “officially dating” for a few weeks. Still, social distancing has apparently made their hearts grow fonder, and the two have been spotted cozying up a lot recently. Enough, it would seem, for Garner to set some boundaries....

You’ve heard us rave about Spanx so much that we might sound like a broken record. Particularly Oprah’s favorite pant-slash-legging hybrid, which are perfect for working from home and for going back to that thing called an office.

Winter is officially here, and with it, the last drops of moisture have left our skin. Between cold winds and dry indoor heat, skin that tends towards getting chapped or cracked doesn’t stand a chance these next few months — and one of the biggest culprits of that dreaded winter skin is our feet.
