From Marie Claire This article is a partnership between Marie Claire and The Fuller Project. At 37 weeks pregnant, Arina* doesn't leave her Kiev apartment often. The pandemic ricocheting around the globe means the 28-year-old surrogate can't ride the now-closed subway or tram to the city center. To pass the time, she sticks to a daily routine of morning calisthenics, porridge, and TV in the three-bedroom apartment she shares with two other surrogates. Stranded on the 25th floor, in a white wallpapered apartment, facing another row of grey apartments, Arina leaves only to take short walks through the neighborhood or to sneak in an occasional ice cream run to the local supermarket. The Ukrainian mother of two hasn't seen her own children since early March. Two months ahead of her due date, Lotus, the Israel-registered surrogacy company that matched Arina with a foreign couple, wanted her to see their appointed doctor and to monitor the second-time surrogate's baby closely...

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex have been on the move quite a bit lately. In the time span of just a few short years, the couple has moved from their cozy cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace in London to Windsor, England, before spending some time in Canada. Finally, they made the big move across the pond to Los Angeles, California following their unexpected exit from the royal family.

As they settle into their new life in California, speculation has been at an all-time high as to how things will pan out for the duke and duchess. They have been said to have been looking at and considering different houses in various neighborhoods, and are reportedly eyeing a very pos...

As armed men rampaged through an Afghan hospital on Tuesday, shooting dead mothers and babies, a group of pregnant women hid in a room with one of them about to give birth. "The mother was in pain but was trying not to make any sound," said a midwife who helped deliver the baby girl and sever the umbilical cord with her bare hands. More: "She even put her finger in the newborn baby's mouth to stop her from crying," the woman told the AFP news agency by phone on Friday, her voice still shaking three days after the attack. The raid in the maternity ward of Kabul's Barchi National Hospital left 24 people dead, including newborns, mothers and nurses. There were 26 mothers in the hospital on the morning gunmen posing as members of the Afghan security forces burst in, said the Doctors Without Borders (MSF) charity, which runs the maternity ward. Eleven of them were killed during the hours-long attack, including three in a delivery room with their newbor...

RANDOLPH, NJ - A baby bear was spotted in the Mt. Freedom area of Randolph Township Monday afternoon.

Make yourself look as big as possible by waving your arms, and if you are with someone else, stand close together and wave your hands over your heads; The bear will warn you that you are too close by making a series of huffs, popping sounds and by snapping its jaws and swatting the ground.
