We also know it’s largely man-made, and recent studies show that 71% of all greenhouse gas emissions since 1988 have come from corporations. Because of this, changing your habits in the name of saving our planet can feel fruitless as an individual, but if companies are the leading cause of climate change, we can help as individuals by spending our money on products from environmentally conscious compan ..read more

Mother’s Day is right around the corner (Sunday, May 12, to be exact), so if you haven’t already been shopping for the mom in your life, now is the time to start. Of course, that’s easier said than done for many mamas—especially the ones who seem to have everything already. Finding a gift that shows her how much she is seen and appreciated can be a real challenge, and it can be tempting to fall back on a traditional gift of brunch and a bouquet. There’s nothing wro ..read more

“As a physician, I almost died,” says Bayo Winchell-Curry, MD (Dr. BCW), Saint Mary’s Urgent Care medical director in Reno, Nevada. “I knew I did not feel the same way I did after my first cesarean two years earlier.

Symptoms of Protein in Urine During Pregnancy

If you are pregnant or have been in the past, you’re likely well acquainted with the process of collecting a urine sample at prenatal visits. By the time you reach your third trimester, you’ve practically mastered the process and probably don’t think much of it anymore, but there is good reason for this routine (albeit unpleasant) sample collection—to test for proteinuria or protein in the urine.

Expecting and new parents sometimes feel like magnets for unsolicited advice. A trip to the grocery store or a walk to the mailbox can turn into a lesson in feeding, diapering, or the all-sacred infant sleep schedule. Since every family has its own tips, tricks, and childrearing culture, new parents are often stuck between conventions and traditions. While all of this advice is typically well-meaning, it’s frequently conflicting, and more importantly, it isn’t always accurate.
I know all of this information can be confusing and overwhelming. As an intern ..read more

Spring has finally arrived, which means longer and brighter days, warmer temperatures, and vibrant colors as trees sprout leaves and flowers begin to bloom. After feeling cooped up in the house all winter, you and your little one are probably more than ready to get outside and breathe in the fresh air.
Of course, one of the best things about the great outdoors is plenty to do without spending any money. But, if you’re like me, you likely enjoy giving your lit ..read more

We know that, as a parent, you are probably short on leisure time, but might be surprised by how much reading you can sneak in during a feeding or pumping session, while waiting in the school car pick-up line, or while you let your little one run around the backyard to get some fresh air now that spring is just around the corner. If nothing else, you can always pop in your earbuds and listen to an audiobook while running errands or going for a stroller walk. Seriou ..read more
