A certain New England Patriots quarterback headed to Mercedes-Benz Stadium (or The Benz, as us in-the-know types call it), for his ninth Super Bowl on Sunday night, bringing with him a winning record (5 wins to 3 losses), and the support of his…

I’ll always remember the drive to the hospital the night I went into labor; my boyfriend at the wheel of the CRV we’d just bought to replace his beloved but battered bachelor-mobile; my mom and my 14-year-old sister ensconced in the back seat, fresh…

What. A. Year. Looking back and trying to sum up 2018 is a mind-boggling task. What's the best way to mark the end of a year filled with so much undeniable, if sometimes painful, growth? We are different people than we were on January 1. Our kids…

Despite there being so much that is universal about the pregnancy experience, every birth story is different. Last year, Romper launched Doula Diaries, our video series showcasing the people who help others give birth. And now we’re back with Doula…

There’s something kind of perfect about featuring Emily Farris, the lifestyle writer, prop stylist, and cocktail maven behind The Boozy Bungalow for our inaugural edition of Contain Yourself, where we take a voyeuristic look into a fellow mom’s…

Like you, I have thousands and thousands of photos of my daughter, what feels like millions of little moments captured. An embarrassingly scant few are printed out and framed; the vast (vast) majority of them live only in my phone’s camera roll and…

“It’s disturbing that these uncorroborated allegations from more than 35 years ago, during high school, would surface on the eve of a committee vote after Democrats sat on them since July.” —Statement from the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding…

Motherhood is a lot easier if you can get some of your basic needs met. I don’t mean an uninterrupted shower — you’re not getting one of those for a while — but Romper’s third digital issue, Mom Jokes, is all about the things that are at your…

There’s so much information and advice available for what to do once you’ve got a baby — but the conversations about obtaining that baby are so often lacking, and much, much quieter. We live in a culture that (mistakenly) views the age of 35 as some…

There's been a lot of gossip and speculation about Meghan Markle's family in the weeks leading up to the Royal Wedding, but as anyone with even one relative knows, these things are complicated, and rarely what they seem on the surface. Though a very…

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got married on Saturday, which is a statement of fact but somehow it seems too simple for the rather epic, stunning event the world witnessed. But despite the public nature of the affair, there were so many sweet and…

It's incredible how something so public can at the same time be so beautifully intimate. The Royal Wedding is a spectacle, but it's also a series of precious, personal moments, something that became immediately clear as the bride walked down the…

As Royal Wedding fever has spread across the land (hear ye, hear ye!), just about every detail of Meghan Markle's life has been scrutinized in public. (Sounds like super fun!) One such interesting detail is Markle's birth name, which isn't actually…

"Somebody's herrrrrrre!" And that somebody is the little somebody we've all been waiting for! Chrissy Teigen and John Legend welcomed baby number two late Wednesday night, People confirmed after the model and super mama shared the news via Twitter.…

It’s rare in polite company (and clearly this is not polite company, so pull up a chair) to really talk about how pregnancy and birth change you physically. When we do talk about it, we tend to gloss over what a profound and messy and completely…

To be a dancer is to live fully, often painfully, in one’s body — to intimately know every tendon, to feel every life change play out through your muscles and bones. A dancer’s body is her everything: her tool, her craft, her product, her…

The Royal Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William welcomed their third baby, a son, into the world on Monday morning. This means that their daughter is not only now a middle child (a big and a little sister), but that…

It's officially royal baby watch time! The Palace confirmed that Kate Middleton is in labor with her third baby with husband Prince William, and was admitted to the hospital early Monday morning, U.K. time, People reported. Update: According to a…
