What to expect when you’re not expecting. A West Virginia transgender man who believed he was infertile miraculously became pregnant after a one-night stand with a man he met on Grindr. “I gave up on my dreams of being a parent, then lo and behold, this kid comes out of nowhere,” Ash Patrick Schade, 30, told SWNS. Schade decided to take a pregnancy test in 2020 after feeling more emotional and ravenous than usual, “blindsided” by the positive result. “In the moment I was like, ‘Am I dreaming?’ It just seemed so surreal,” he recalled. “All I could do was...

CNN's Jeffrey Toobin reportedly "crossed the line" with Casey Greenfield, daughter of a CBS reporter. Columnists Rush & Molloy don't give details, but one can speculate from what they omit: Greenfield is pregnant. Toobin, 13 years Greenfield's senior, is still married (with children) to Amy McIntosh. Toobin declined to talk to the Daily News about his relationship with Greenfield, as did Greenfield herself. Their refusal to speak is sure to arch eyebrows. Given Greenfield's advanced pregnancy, which she tracks on her Facebook profile, Rush & Molloy surely knew what their item was implying: Toobin is the father of Greenfield's child....

NEW YORK — Teen motherhood has gained a bit of celebrity allure with the pregnancies of Jamie Lynn Spears and Bristol Palin, but front-line professionals see a starkly different reality involving poverty, lost opportunities and a cost to taxpayers in the billions of dollars annually. At minimum, the public cost of births to teens 17 and younger is $7.6 billion a year, according to research presented Thursday at a national forum in Chicago. The calculation includes both the lower taxes that these often impoverished families contribute and the extra social services they require. "Teen births do have substantial, widespread negative...

Give birth, get a parking pass? California lawmakers are considering granting special parking privileges to women in the final three months of pregnancy and the first two months after birth. The legislation would apply to more than a half-million women who give birth every year in California. Assemblyman Chuck DeVore's bill would qualify pregnant women for "temporarily disabled" parking placards from the Department of Motor Vehicles. "Let's be reasonable here: There are challenges, physical challenges, that arise as a natural part of life," DeVore said of pregnancy. The Irvine Republican said it makes little sense to force a pregnant woman...
