Depending on what you have, the job can be easy. You can go around the house and simply take turns choosing what you want. Whoever chooses first during the first round will choose second during the second round and so on. This worked for a friend of ours—until her husband went up to the attic and selected an antique lamp she’d forgotten about. But she swallowed her protest and went on with the process, and she’s glad she did....

More: How Tall Will My Baby Be? A Genetic Explanation Don’t have time to read now, pin it for later: Do twins really ‘run’ in families? Yes…and no. “There is no evidence that identical twins run in families,” explains Dr. Mitchell S. Kramer, Chairman, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Huntington Hospital Northwell Health. “Non-identical, or fraternal, twins can run in families.” According to Dr. Kramer, fraternal twin genes—which transmit a higher chance of hyperovulation (releasing more than one egg per ovulation) are carried in the mother’s genes since only females ovulate....

So in my state, even though we’re above the income bracket, my children received free lunches during the 2021/22 school year. Even when schools were closed, virtual or semi-virtual, parents and guardians could walk up to distribution points at their local school and pick up a free meal each day....

Still others are working hard to offer students a mix of the two by creating a hybrid learning model. That’s an arrangement where students attend school a few days each week and engage in distance learning on the other days. While the hybrid model seems like a best-of-both-worlds approach, it’s not without risk. Here, we’ll examine this unique approach to learning, and let you know what you can expect if your child’s school district opts for a hybrid learning model for the 2020-21 school year....

As the umbilical stump begins to dry up and harden, it turns into a dark and shriveled knot before falling off completely. Once your baby’s stump finally falls off, it reveals a super cute little belly button—and, often, a small raw spot where the last bit of cord was attached (kind of like when a scab falls off). This is totally normal and should heal up pretty quickly. In some cases, though, not only does this spot seem to never heal, it actually grows into a small lump of tissue inside your baby’s belly button....

Health Benefits For centuries, fenugreek has been taken to promote health and well-being. It was used to treat digestive and respiratory ailments, and it has a long history of use in women’s health—to induce labor and help with childbirth, and as a treatment for gynecological issues like painful menstruation and uterine problems. While other benefits are being studied, today fenugreek is most widely used and researched for two purposes: as a galactagogue, something that can help a breastfeeding mother increase her breast milk supply, and as a way to reduce blood sugar levels in people with diabetes....

It all depends on the diagnosis you have for infertility.

If you do require medical intervention to get pregnant, your reproductive endocrinologist or other specialist will be more than happy to help you achieve a second pregnancy....
