<ul class="summary-list"><li>Amy Schumer has responded to recent comments speculating on the appearance of her face.</li><li>In an Instagram post, she said it was "puffier than normal" due to endometriosis.</li></ul><a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amy-schumer-quit-barbie-movie-feminist-cool-2023-6">Amy Schumer</a> has responded to comments speculating on her appearance during recent interviews, explaining that her face is "puffier than normal" due to <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/health/conditions-symptoms/do-i-have-endometriosis">endometriosis</a>."Thank you so much for everyone's input about my face!" the comedian and actor sarcastically wrote on <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C3YaFBrO8HI/?hl=en">Instagram</a>. "I've enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years. And you're right it is puffier than normal right now."Taking on a more serious tone, Schumer then explained she had been diagnosed with endometriosis, which is a chronic condition in which uterine-like tissue grows in the pelvic cavity outside the uterus, according to the <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/endometriosis#:~:text=Endometriosis%20is%20a%20disease%20in,period%20and%20last%20until%20menopause.">World Health Organization</a>.It causes painful periods, pain during sex, spotting, and sometimes fertility issues. There's no known cure for it. A range of medications can help manage endometriosis and its symptoms, including hormonal medicines such as GnRH-analogues and contraceptives, according to the WHO.It affects one out of every 10 women of reproductive age, or roughly<a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="http://endometriosis.org/endometriosis/"> 176 million women</a> worldwide, per the <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.acog.org/Patients/FAQs/Endometriosis?IsMobileSet=false">American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists</a>."There are some medical and hormonal things going on in my world right now, but I'm okay," Schumer added. "Historically, women's bodies have barely been studied medically compared to men." She continued: "I also believe a woman doesn't need any excuse for her physical appearance and owes no explanation. But I wanted to take the opportunity to advocate for self-love and acceptance of the skin you're in."She concluded her post by saying some days she felt "confident and good as hell," and on others she wanted to "put a bag over my head."A representative for Schumer didn't respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.The comedian and actor appeared on the likes of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," "Good Morning America," and "The View" this week to promote the second season of her Hulu comedy-drama series, "Life &amp; Beth," which she writes, directs, and stars in.She shared <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C3VVwbhMI46/?hl=en">clips of her interviews</a> on her Instagram page, which attracted comments about her appearance. Screenshots and videos also <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/JebraFaushay/status/1757751521159061729">began circulating on X</a>, formerly known as Twitter, where she was mocked and subjected to medical speculation.It's not the first time the "Trainwreck" star has spoken openly about her experience with endometriosis. In September 2021, <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amy-schumer-uterus-appendix-removed-endometriosis-2021-9">Schumer underwent surgery</a> to remove her uterus and appendix as a treatment for endometriosis. After the surgery, she said in a <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CUSaDVyrue-/">follow-up Instagram post</a> that all of her "lifelong pain" had been "explained" and "lifted out of my body," leaving her a "changed person."The procedure meant she would no longer be able to carry a pregnancy. Schumer already said she "<a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://people.com/parents/amy-schumer-second-baby-trying-figure-out-ellen-degeneres-show/">could never be pregnant again</a>" after undergoing "really tough" rounds of IVF to welcome her son, Gene David, with her husband, Chris Fischer, in May 2019.

At the heart of the docuseries is Schumer's severe case of <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-is-hyperemesis-gravidarum-symptoms-treatment-2018-11">hyperemesis gravidarum</a>, a rare pregnancy condition that leads to persistent vomiting, nausea, and dehydration. Schumer's case was so serious that, at one point, she vomited for five hours straight. In one scene, she pukes up blood and in another, she popped blood vessels in her eye from heaving so hard. She was hospitalized while on tour and throughout her pregnancy, Schumer was administered about 100 bags of IV fluid.What was just as, if not more, disconcerting to Schumer was how little she knew about the common pain, discomfort, and complications pregnant women endure in silence, because speaking up about something as natural as pregnancy can still put a woman in a compromising position. <h2>Amy Schumer said she resents how pregnant women often can't speak up about the struggles they face</h2><div type="image" title="amy schumer" height="1569" width="2092" msid="76883770" hostid="261"></div>"I don't resent being pregnant," Schumer said in the first episode. "I resent everyone who hasn't been honest. I resent the culture of how much women have to suck it the f--k up and act like everything is fine. I really resent that."What Schumer hints at is the fact that <a href="https://www.insider.com/elizabeth-warren-got-fired-when-pregnant-womens-pregnancy-discrimination-stories-2019-10">pregnancy discrimination</a> is still rampant in workplaces in the US, which directly impact how women talk — or don't talk — about the realities of pregnancy. As Schumer says in her docuseries, she can find ample videos of bubbly experts likening the size of her fetus to various fruits and vegetables as it grows. But the best advice she gets comes in the form of text messages and intimate phone calls with friends who have recently given birth. That's how she learns that the actual extraction of the baby during a C-section lasts about 15 minutes and about the "immense relief" she'll feel once she's finally not pregnant.<h2>Moms engage in 'secret <keyword id="6381498" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="parenting">parenting</keyword>' at work because they fear being viewed as not wholly committed to their jobs</h2>Emily Oster, an economist who focuses on parenting and pregnancy, wrote about the <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/05/normalize-parenthood-workplace-dont-hide-it/589822/">"plague of secret parenting"</a> last year, and how many women hide their pregnancies at work as long as possible. Once they return to work, they rarely mention their kids because they "do not want their bosses to think they are anything other than 100 percent committed." Schumer acknowledges that it's her privilege that affords her the opportunity to incorporate pregnancy into her work without fear of recourse. There are lots of raw moments in the series, when Schumer reaches breaking point after breaking point while feeling sick and wonders how women who can't afford to take time off while pregnant or splurge on the "Beyonce suite" at an upscale Manhattan hospital manage their lives while pregnant. "I just have all these resources that make me able to function and take care of myself — mostly no one has that. It makes me feel bad," Schumer said.

He removed my appendix because the endometriosis had attacked it.""There was a lot, a lot of blood in my uterus and I'm, you know, sore and I have some, like, gas pains," the 40-year-old actress and comedian continued.

There's no cure, but treatments can include medications like over-the-counter pain relievers and changes in birth control.

If those treatments aren't enough, women <a href="https://www.endofound.org/endometriosis-treatment-support">may undergo surgery</a>, either to remove individual lesions or entire organs. For Schumer, the surgery means she'll no longer be able to carry a pregnancy, but <a href="https://people.com/parents/amy-schumer-second-baby-trying-figure-out-ellen-degeneres-show/">she'd already said she "could never be pregnant again"</a> after undergoing "really tough" rounds of IVF.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>I started my own maternity brand after failing to find clothes to celebrate my own growing belly.</li><li>I quickly learned that parents need more than just comfortable clothes.</li></ul>After getting pregnant with my first daughter, I scoured stores looking for <a href="https://www.insider.com/how-maternity-fashion-has-changed-2019-3">maternity clothing</a> that felt comfortable and chic so I could get dressed and still feel like me, growing belly and all.Instead, all I could find were hideous tentlike styles meant for "hiding the bump," covering up any notion that I was experiencing the most magical shift possible. I wanted to celebrate. I wanted to honor my growing body with body-hugging dresses, breezy caftans, work-friendly button-downs, cool maternity jeans, striped T-shirts, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-maternity-leggings">cozy cashmere leggings</a>, and more.So I created the brand I wished for but couldn't find anywhere.Our team got to work designing everyday essentials like luxurious-but-practical leggings, cozy knits, bump-friendly dresses, and other styles to see our customers through all the transitions they were experiencing.<a href="https://www.insider.com/best-maternity-clothes">The result felt game-changing</a>. We got so much positive feedback from celebrities, editors, and influencers who, like us, felt that finally they had cute, stylish pieces for their <keyword id="6357793" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="pregnancy" source="Orion">pregnancy</keyword>.Then their voices got louder.<h2>Turns out parents need more than cute clothes</h2>Women shared with us, in DMs and emails and in our stores, that while they needed these essentials for their pregnancy, they actually need a lot more than that.The community around our brand started out of a love of <keyword id="11893303" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="fashion" source="Orion">fashion</keyword> and a desire to look and feel like ourselves, but very quickly we saw that these people had just as many questions about lactation, relationships, navigating the hormones of the fourth trimester, <a href="https://www.insider.com/meghan-markle-calling-us-senators-to-pass-paid-leave-2021-11">and the back-to-work journey</a>.More than anything, as a woman and mother myself, I wanted to give them that community. I wanted our brand to stand for something bigger than the product, because this time of life is huge. Especially in 2021, a far different time than when we launched 10 years ago, pregnant women need support, flexibility, community, and permission to take care of themselves, which will allow them to take care of others.Women also need to feel like perfection isn't the standard, that the Instagram model of baby-rearing - with perfectly curated <keyword id="11910745" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="parenting" source="Orion">parenting</keyword> moments in a muted filter - is entirely smoke and mirrors.As <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/paid-family-medical-leave-back-in-democrats-social-soending-bill-2021-11">paid family leave remains on the congressional chopping block</a>, pregnant women and new parents need support and help.It really does take a community to do this, but many of us live far from our own parents and families. Since starting <keyword id="12422969" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="hatch" source="Orion">Hatch</keyword>, I've learned that we must create our own support systems filled with friends, neighbors, fellow parents at the school drop-off, online mom groups - whoever can help share in the joy and burden of raising children today, whether in real life or in a quiet, late-night place to share.<h2>Support looks different for everyone</h2>I've learned that women need to feel that they're a part of something bigger than themselves, that they can connect with others in what they're going through - because we've all been there.From relationship struggles to questions about what's considered "normal" in their pregnancies, they need to feel heard, understood, and a bit reassured, because, yes, it is, in fact, all good - or, even if it's not, yes, it's totally normal, and, yes, everything's going to be OK eventually.I hope we're helping create that conversation and shift the messaging around pregnancy and new parenthood to one of acceptance and openness.Our customers need it; women around the world need it. Even in our own offices, made up largely of women and new mothers, we need it, too.I hope that we're serving women with what they need: leggings and nursing bras and that perfect dress when nothing fits and you need to look fabulous, but also a place where they can feel heard and understood without judgment - just support and love.Ariane Goldman is the founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.hatchcollection.com/">Hatch</a>, a maternity brand that's been worn by pregnant people including Meghan Markle, Ashley Graham, Amy Schumer, Jessica Alba, Anne Hathaway, and Kate Hudson.

Robbie, who's also producing the movie, and Gosling play "traditional" versions of Barbie and Ken, while many of their castmates play other versions of the dolls.Issa Rae will play a Barbie who is president, and Kate McKinnon will play a version of the doll that is "always in the splits."Other actors, like America Ferrera and Will Ferrell, play human characters, according to the character posters released by Warner Brothers. Michael Cera will play the only male doll character who isn't Ken — he's Allan. Emerald Fennell will play Allan's pregnant wife, Midge, and Helen Mirren will serve as the film's narrator. <h2>Will the 'Barbie' movie be rated R? </h2><a href="https://vmagazine.com/article/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-barbie-movie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to V Magazine</a>, the comedy-fantasy film cowritten by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach has a PG-13 rating.<h2>What is the 'Barbie' movie about?</h2>The full "Barbie" trailer was released on Thursday by Warner Brothers and finally gave viewers some plot details.It revealed that the movie will follow America's most iconic doll as she leaves her sheltered life in "Barbie Land" behind and steps — flat feet first — into the real world.She'll be asking some big questions on her journey (with her boyfriend Ken following along). Her biggest one, which literally stops her friends in their tracks, is "Do you guys ever think about dying?" There will be singing, dancing, and lots of bright colors along the way. According to a recent Vogue interview, Ken <a href="https://www.insider.com/barbie-margot-robbie-ryan-gosling-present-ken-every-day-2023-5">mostly thinks about the beach in the film</a>, while Barbie experiences the harsh realities of being sexualized against her will.

It will feature artists like Ice Spice, Dua Lipa, Lizzo, Khalid, and even Gosling. <h2>What will Barbie's dream house look like? </h2><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKgaVlMN7IY&amp;t=315s&amp;ab_channel=ArchitecturalDigest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Architectural Digest</a> gave fans a look into Barbie's Dream House in June.According to Robbie, there are both physical objects and sticker-decal pieces in Barbie's house that give the set the feel of being a Mattel toy.So, for example, she has a slide in her bedroom that she can use in the morning to slide down to the pool. But Barbie's pool water is just a decal because there are no actual elements in Barbie Land. Gerwig shared that the different shades of pink that can be seen all around Barbie's house were so important to get right that the crew had many meetings discussing the color. Barbie's house has a bar and a magical closet that picks her outfit out every day and puts it on for her. Everyone in Barbie Land has a see-through house so they can talk to each other.Plus, the Barbies don't have to walk down steps to get to their cars, they float into them. "Barbie" will be in theaters July 21.

Here's everything you need to know about the new 'Barbie' movie starring Margot Robbie

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The press tour for Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" movie has gifted us a goldmine of fun facts.</li><li>For example, the film used so much pink paint that it caused an international shortage.</li></ul>After months of breathless <a href="https://www.insider.com/barbie-press-tour-every-inspired-outfit-look-margot-robbie-2023-7">press tour coverage</a>, <a href="https://www.insider.com/barbie-had-150-million-marketing-budget-2023-7">Barbie mania</a> is in full swing.But just when you thought you knew everything there is to know about Barbie Land (or, at least, what happens inside Ken's Mojo Dojo Casa House), Insider's entertainment reporters Ayomikun Adekaiyero and Esme Mazzeo did some digging and found 16 unique facts about the film that you might not know. <h2>Margot Robbie made the cast and crew wear pink on Wednesdays and fined those who didn't <div type="image" title="Margot Robbie attends the Seoul premiere of &quot;Barbie&quot; in July 2023." height="1499" width="1999" msid="102116909" hostid="261"></div></h2>On Wednesdays, the cast and crew had to wear pink on set, according to Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie.<a href="https://people.com/barbie-special-issue-sleepovers-group-chats-pink-days-cast-exclusive-7557080?utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&amp;utm_content=new&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_term=64a86dd879077d000118bb6f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gosling first told People</a> about the rule, explaining that those that did not wear pink were fined by Robbie."She would go around collecting the fines, and she would donate it to a charity," he added.However, a few days later, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@ladbible/video/7255254274228243738?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robbie clarified to LadBible</a> that it was an "optional" fine while attending the European premiere of "Barbie" in London."I didn't get to donate that much to charity because everyone wanted to wear pink all the time," she said.Gosling also told People the male crew members especially enjoyed having to wear pink on set."What was really special was just how excited the male crew members were. At the end of the film, they all got together and, with their own money, made pink crew shirts with rainbow fringe," Gosling said. "It was this opportunity for them to show their respect and admiration for what Margot and Greta were creating."He added: "It was almost like that scene at the end of 'Dead Poets Society,' where they all get on their desk and say, 'O captain! My captain!'

Before then, Sony had the rights and Amy Schumer was in talks to play the iconic doll. But the comedian told <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/amy-schumer-interview-life-and-beth-oscars-1235106625/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a> in 2022 that she backed out of the film because of creative differences with Sony. In the script Schumer reportedly read, Barbie was an "amibitious inventor," but the studio requested her invention be high heels made of Jell-O. "The idea that that's just what every woman must want, right there, I should have gone, 'You've got the wrong gal,'" she said. Robbie admitted to <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/margot-robbie-barbie-summer-cover-2023-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vogue in May 2023</a> that though her company had the rights, she didn't picture herself playing the iconic doll until later in the pre-production process. On "Watch What Happens Live!" in July 2023, Schumer said that Greta Gerwig and Robbie's version of the film appeared to be <a href="https://www.insider.com/amy-schumer-quit-barbie-movie-feminist-cool-2023-6">"feminist and cool"</a> and she was excited to see it. <h2>'Barbie' contains references to many discontinued dolls</h2><div type="image" title="Michael Cera in real life and in the &quot;Barbie&quot; movie as Allan" height="960" width="1280" msid="102116913" hostid="261"></div>Gerwig was clearly fascinated by some of <a href="https://www.insider.com/discontined-barbie-dolls-allan-midge-sugar-daddy-ken-growing-up-skipper-2023-7">Mattel's forgotten dolls while writing "Barbie."</a> Allan, Ken's discontinued friend who's played by Michael Cera in the film, plays a key role in Barbie Land; his pregnant wife Midge is present portrayed by Emerald Fennell, also appears.There's also a scene featuring an array of discontinued dolls including Growing Up Skipper, whose breasts change in size; Video Girl Barbie, whose chest contained an actual video camera; and Sugar Daddy Ken, an older Ken who is "daddy" to... a puppy named Sugar.<h2>The older woman in 'Barbie' has made Oscars history</h2><div type="image" title="Ann Roth in &quot;Barbie.&quot;" height="1158" width="1544" msid="102116914" hostid="261"></div>In a key scene in "Barbie," Robbie's doll encounters an old woman at a bus stop in the real world and tells her she's beautiful.

But "Barbie" costume designer Jaqueline Durran <a href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/barbie-costumes-jacqueline-durran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told British Vogue</a> that one of Ken's extremely personalized items of clothing was Gosling's idea: his "Ken"-branded underwear. Durran said the "Blue Valentine" star came up with the idea late in the fitting process, but that didn't stop her and her team. "We just rushed to make it."<h2>The cast of 'Barbie' went to 'movie church' while working on the project </h2><div type="image" title="The cast of &quot;Barbie&quot; standing in front of a pink car while Margot Robbie wears a bright pink outfit." height="2159" width="2879" msid="102116918" hostid="261"></div>During pre-production and while filming "Barbie," Gerwig asked the cast to attend her "movie church" every Sunday, where they'd watch a movie that inspired her while writing the script with her partner, Noah Baumbach. According to <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/margot-robbie-barbie-summer-cover-2023-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vogue's Abby Aguirre,</a> they watched a lot of "old soundstage Technicolor musicals" like "The Red Shoes" and "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" to grasp the balance between artificial worlds and reality. The cast also bonded by attending other group events, like a Barbie sleepover at Claridge's Hotel in London. (The actors who played Kens were invited to attend, but not to sleep over.) Gosling couldn't make it, so he sent a telegram in the form of a bagpipe player reenacting a "Braveheart" scene, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5bI_732Cqs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robbie told BuzzFeed Celeb.</a>Robbie also took the cast out to see "Magic Mike Live!" one night in London, Ncuti Gatwa told <a href="https://www.rollingstone.co.uk/film/news/ncuti-gatwa-says-margot-robbie-took-barbie-cast-to-see-magic-mike-live-31069/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rolling Stone UK</a>. <h2>Robbie gave Gosling a beach-inspired present every day on set</h2><div type="image" title="Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie as Ken and Barbie" height="3000" width="4000" msid="102116919" hostid="261"></div>One of the most memorable things about Gosling's Ken is his insistence that <a href="https://www.insider.com/barbie-margot-robbie-ryan-gosling-present-ken-every-day-2023-5">his job is "beach."</a> To that end, Gosling <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/margot-robbie-barbie-summer-cover-2023-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Vogue in May</a> that Robbie brought him a gift inspired by the beach every day they were on set.Gosling said that every day he'd get a "pink present with a pink bow" addressed "from Barbie to Ken."The gifts ranged from puka shells to a sign that read, "Eat, Pray, Surf," according to the "La La Land" star. He didn't confirm how many gifts he received in total. <h2> Gerwig wrote a 'Barbie' poem inspired by the Apostles' creed</h2><div type="image" title="Greta Gerwig" height="3648" width="4864" msid="102116920" hostid="261"></div>Robbie <a href="https://www.crcna.org/welcome/beliefs/creeds/apostles-creed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Vogue in May 2023</a> that Gerwig wrote a poem about Barbie inspired by the <a href="https://www.crcna.org/welcome/beliefs/creeds/apostles-creed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apostles' Creed.</a>"Greta wrote an abstract poem about Barbie. And when I say 'abstract,' I mean it was super abstract," the "Wolf of Wall Street" star said. Gerwig declined to share it, but confirmed it had similarities to the short summary of the Christian faith that's been <a href="https://www.insider.com/greta-gerwig-says-her-catholic-upbringing-influenced-barbie-scenes-2023-7">handed down for many generations</a>. <h2>Saoirse Ronan, Gal Gadot, and Timothée Chalamet almost appeared in the movie</h2><div type="image" title="saoirse ronan timothee chalamet greta gerwig_edited 1" height="900" width="1200" msid="102116921" hostid="261"></div>Gerwig <a href="https://twitter.com/FilmUpdates/status/1678443991874826241?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1678443991874826241%7Ctwgr%5E12662dd2c44967531f34ddf22e291412084f7f3d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.insider.com%2Fpost%2Fpreview%3Fpost_id%3D64baede7458c1a30316d66b7mode%3Ddesktopbabara-handler-makes-a-cameo-and-rhea-perlman-plays-barbies-creator-ruth-handler-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told CinemaBlend</a> in July that Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet almost made appearances in "Barbie" but the plans fell through due to scheduling conflicts. The actors appeared in Gerwig's previous films, "Lady Bird" and "Little Women," which were released in 2017 and 2019, respectively."It felt like doing something without my children," Gerwig said. In the <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/margot-robbie-barbie-summer-cover-2023-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May Vogue article</a>, Robbie and Gerwig said they pictured "Wonder Woman" star Gal Gadot when they thought of "Barbie energy." "Because Gal Gadot is so impossibly beautiful, but you don't hate her for being that beautiful, because she's so genuinely sincere, and she's so enthusiastically kind, that it's almost dorky. It's like right before being a dork," Robbie said. Gadot was also unavailable. <h2>There's no writing in Barbie Land, and the only element is good wind</h2><div type="image" title="Margot Robbie in a scene from &quot;Barbie&quot; where Barbie is looking into a pink mirror while sitting in a pink bedroom that overlooks another home with palm trees in the background." height="1399" width="1866" msid="102116922" hostid="261"></div>While touring the set of Barbie Land with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKgaVlMN7IY&amp;t=36s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Architectural Digest</a> in June, Robbie revealed that there's no water or fire in Barbie Land. In fact, she said there are "no elements" at all — except wind that makes hair look good.She also showed viewers a piece of mail in Barbie Land to confirm that there is no writing there, either — just gibberish. <h2>Robbie begged for Aqua's song 'Barbie Girl' to be in the film</h2><div type="image" title="barbie girl aqua" height="832" width="1109" msid="102116923" hostid="261"></div>Robbie <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/barbie-soundtrack-mark-ronson-margot-robbie-greta-gerwig-dua-lipa-nicki-minaj-1234775067/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Rolling Stone</a> that she was adamant that Aqua's 1997 hit <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/barbie-girl-mattel-sued-mca-barbie-world-song-aqua-movie-2023-7">"Barbie Girl" be in the film</a>. "I was like, 'Greta, how are we going to incorporate this song? We can't do a Barbie movie and not have a nod to Aqua's 'Barbie Girl.' It has to be in there,'" she said. When she found out that Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj were going to do a remake of the song, she recalled getting excited because she knew her friends "were going to lose their minds" about it. <h2>A discarded Ken doll inspired Gosling to accept the part</h2><div type="image" title="Ryan Gosling as Ken." height="1500" width="2000" msid="102116924" hostid="261"></div>In a recent interview on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9uHZ2uQ8YI&amp;t=2s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,"</a> Gosling said he found a discarded Ken doll in his backyard after finishing "the best script I've ever read." "Do you know where I found Ken, Jimmy?" he asked the host rhetorically. "Face down in the mud next to a squished lemon." He texted the picture to Gerwig and <a href="https://www.insider.com/ryan-gosling-reveals-why-he-agreed-to-ken-in-barbie-2022-7">accepted the part of the underappreciated doll</a>.<h2>Hari Nef wrote a letter begging to be in the film</h2><div type="image" title="Hari Nef screaming at Margot Robbie's feet." height="877" width="1170" msid="102116925" hostid="261"></div>After Hari Nef was cast in the film, she found out that scheduling conflicts would likely prevent her from being able to play the part. So she wrote a letter to Gerwig and Robbie, begging them to shift the filming schedule to accommodate her and emphasizing how meaningful the role was to her as a trans woman."Identity politics and cinema aren't my favorite combination, but the name BARBIE looms large over every American woman," Nef wrote in a part of the letter <a href="https://twitter.com/harinef/status/1643257294753259522?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she shared on Twitter</a>."Barbie's the standard; she's The Girl; she's certainly THE doll. Me and my girlfriends -okay, yeah, me and my other transgender girlfriends- we started calling ourselves 'the dolls' a couple of years ago, though the phrase stretches back into the language of our foremothers in the ballroom scene," she continued, referring to the <a href="https://www.insider.com/voguing-ballroom-lgbtq-activism-anti-drag-legislation-2023-2">underground queer community. </a> <h2>Emma Mackey's casting started with a joke </h2><div type="image" title="Margot Robbie and Emma Mackey" height="900" width="1200" msid="102116926" hostid="261"></div>Robbie revealed to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5bI_732Cqs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buzzfeed Celeb</a> that <a href="https://www.insider.com/barbie-movie-scrapped-joke-about-margot-robbie-emma-mackey-2023-7">Emma Mackey</a> was originally cast in her role as a Nobel Prize-winning Barbie because people thought they looked alike. "We were going to do this whole joke about us looking similar," Robbie said. "And then once we got all dressed up as our Barbies we were like, 'we don't actually look that similar." The fact that Mackey has brown hair in the film in contrast to Stereotypical Barbie's blonde also made the joke fall flat, so they scrapped it.

Like many city workers, I worked from home during the pandemic, which saved my job because I would have otherwise had to take unpaid leave or disability when I came down with hyperemesis, a severe form of morning sickness famously suffered by the <a href="https://www.hyperemesis.org/events/amy-schumer-what-is-hyperemesis-hg/">comedian Amy Schumer</a> and <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2017/09/04/kate-middleton-is-pregnant-and-suffering-hyperemesis-gravidarum-again/?sh=3437d438b50c">Kate Middleton</a>. <h2>I couldn't eat or drink anything — not even water — and had to live on IV fluids</h2>I was constantly in pain and puking, terrified I'd lose my baby. Worse, even with limited movement, I started dilating at seven months and was at risk for preterm birth. I just wanted to cradle my newborn in my arms and turn off work for 12 weeks so I could nurture my body to health and focus on motherhood.The leave I qualified for was <a href="https://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/025-16/mayor-de-blasio-signs-paid-parental-leave-personnel-order-nyc-workers#/0">paid parental leave (PPL), which was signed into law by Mayor Bill DeBlasio in 2016</a> to cover managerial and nonmanagerial staff who weren't represented by unions, like me. It provides six weeks of fully paid leave and up to 12 weeks total when combined with sick and annual leave. For reference, this is two weeks more than the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/04/house-democrats-reintroduce-4-weeks-of-paid-leave.html">latest offer Democrats came up with for President Joe Biden's Build Back Better framework</a> and two weeks fewer than <a href="https://www.edd.ca.gov/disability/FAQ_PFL_Benefits_Payments.htm">the eight weeks California offers at partial pay</a>.I had eight weeks of combined annual and sick leave, which meant I could take the full 12 weeks off. I felt grateful and lucky. <h2>But when the PPL document arrived and I read the first page, I started shaking uncontrollably </h2>The document asked me to acknowledge that I would return to work for at least six months at the end of my leave or I'd have to "reimburse, in full, the City salary I receive through paid family leave."Say what? What kind of cruel policymaker came up with the idea of asking pregnant women to sign such a punitive document at their most vulnerable and, in this case, in the middle of a pandemic? My pregnancy humbled me, making me anticipate worst-case scenarios: What if I couldn't find childcare because of the pandemic and had to quit work to stay home with the baby? What if I had complications following delivery?<h2>I couldn't sign the document. Did I have any options? I wanted to know. </h2>The HR liaison told me I had a choice to reject the PPL. I could take time under the <a href="https://www1.nyc.gov/site/olr/mbf/mbf-family-medical-leave-act-faqs.page">Family and Medical Leave Act</a> (paid leave that used my accrued time off, then unpaid leave to cover the rest of the time I wanted off) instead, which would protect my job but deprive my family of a steady income.I'd worked for the city for over eight years, so I wasn't going to let it go that easily. I called one city and state office after another to see what else could be made available for me, the whole time worried that the stress was going to raise my blood pressure. My final call was with an employee who had no further solutions but was so kind to me that I started bawling.<h2>When I talked to some coworkers, I got little empathy, as if there was something wrong with me for wanting more, for expecting more, from a city we tout as progressive </h2>One person, much to my dismay, told me that a lot of children went to day care at six weeks. A few people wondered why I couldn't just quit and have my husband add me and the baby to his insurance. All of these responses were well-meaning, but underneath them all was the resignation to the way things were and a callous disregard for a woman's autonomy.A coworker told me she took six weeks of paid leave and eight weeks of unpaid leave. Her husband added her to his health insurance when hers expired, but eight weeks without pay set them back financially. Another friend who had her babies in Switzerland told me she got 80% of her breast implants paid for by her insurance because breastfeeding ruined her nipples.Me? I just wanted three months off so I could care for my child while getting a fraction of the income I depended on. I had no choice but to sign the document.<h2>6 weeks of paid leave isn't enough for anyone. It certainly wasn't enough for me.</h2>As a Black woman, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/healthequity/features/maternal-mortality/index.html">I'm sorely aware of the maternal mortality rate</a> — how Black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<a href="https://www.ajog.org/article/S0002-9378(17)30498-2/fulltext">I'd also read that 40% of those deaths happened within the six weeks after birth</a>. People around me marveled at how quickly I "bounced back." But I spent those first few weeks after delivering my daughter adjusting to my new body — vaginal stitches, an over 30-pound weight loss, legs that felt like jelly from weeks of not walking, readjusting to eating solid food, my throat constantly hurting.I bled for three months, and my doctor kept telling me it was normal, that every woman was different. A Google search showed <a href="https://www.webmd.com/women/vaginal-bleeding-after-birth-when-to-call-doctor">that post-natal bleeding tapered off at six weeks</a>. I advocated for an ultrasound from another doctor. It turned out that I had placenta remains, and while my stomach had shrunk to almost its prepregnancy flatness, my uterus was enlarged, as if I were still pregnant. Had I not self-advocated, <a href="https://www.webmd.com/parenting/what-is-retained-placenta#1">I could have gotten an infection or maybe even slowly hemorrhaged to death</a>.I went in for a dilation and curettage, a procedure to remove the remains from my uterus, and woke up half a day later to stitched-up stomach incisions. I'd had a complication during the procedure, which led to my doctor accidentally puncturing my uterus and causing a hemorrhage.<h2>The whole time I was trying to heal and learn about motherhood, the acknowledgement I'd signed was at the front of my mind</h2>I loved my job because it allowed me to contribute to bettering the lives of my fellow New Yorkers. But that document also made me feel like I'd suddenly discovered an unforgivable flaw in a lover and wanted nothing to do with them. It was what made me sure that I wanted to find something new as soon as my six months back in the office were completed. I've since found a new job.I'm sharing my story to implore policymakers and employers to look into providing reasonable, standardized, and mandated leave benefits to all, not just unionized workers and those lucky to work for organizations that provide generous leave. The lack of standard <keyword id="12466729" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="maternity-leave" source="Orion">maternity leave</keyword> increases inequity and contributes to poor maternal and child outcomes — and to women <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/more-women-left-work-force-september-labor-shortage-childcare-delta-2021-10">leaving the workforce</a>. It also contributes to inhumane policies, such as giving women a timeline and ultimatums regarding what they owe employers for leave taken.A 12-week maternity-leave policy should be packaged with all other policies directed at saving mothers and babies, such as the <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/12/07/fact-sheet-vice-president-kamala-harris-announces-call-to-action-to-reduce-maternal-mortality-and-morbidity/">"birthing-friendly" hospital designation</a>. It would make the US a more compassionate country for women, and it would help save lives.

I had a difficult pregnancy and complications afterward — and my options for maternity leave made everything far worse

In an interview on the podcast <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hilaria-baldwin-on-mommy-shaming-domestic-duties-future/id1517212296?i=1000477453264">"Mom School,"</a> the yoga instructor touched on a number of topics, including how followers often judge, and criticize her, for having help with raising her children."People will write to you and say, 'Ugh, she has a nanny,'" Baldwin said during the podcast, which <a href="https://people.com/parents/hilaria-baldwin-pregnant-nanny-criticism-parenting-4-kids/">People also reported about</a><a href="https://people.com/parents/hilaria-baldwin-pregnant-nanny-criticism-parenting-4-kids/">,</a> "but that doesn't mean that you don't take care of your own kids.

It's often a luxury reserved for the wealthy, especially in New York City, where the Baldwins live. There, the <a href="https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Nanny/Hourly_Rate/d1136340/New-York-NY">average hourly rate is $18.</a> That rate typically goes up when a nanny is responsible for caring for more than one child. Working, while also taking care of children, particularly four young children, can prove to be impossible for many families. During the pandemic, parents have often had no choice but to <a href="https://www.insider.com/coronavirus-school-closings-parents-rely-on-makeshift-childcare-2020-3">resort to makeshift childcare</a>, which might mean splitting the work day and working through the night, while also balancing homeschooling and keeping children safe. <h2>Baldwin rarely posts about her nanny on Instagram</h2>While Baldwin has shared intimate moments about life with her children, including details about her two recent pregnancy losses, her nanny is noticeably absent from her Instagram posts. That's something followers <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/11/style/where-are-all-the-nannies-on-instagram.html">often criticize</a> celebrities for doing — making it look like "doing it all" can be effortless.Other celebrities, including <a href="https://www.insider.com/cameron-diaz-not-hiring-nanny-for-baby-raddix-2020-1">Amy Schumer and Chrissy Teigen</a>, have done the opposite. They've openly shared how grateful they are for their caregivers, highlighting how much work goes into raising children, and how necessary having extra help can be for many parents.In November, Teigen <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B5drqTwBa7N/">posted a photo</a> to Instagram of her personal chef and childcare providers on Instagram, and wrote: "Grateful for people that make our dysfunctional house functional. ❤️"<ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/hilaria-baldwin-miscarriage-what-to-know-about-condition-2019-11">Hilaria Baldwin had her second miscarriage in less than a year.

Though the transfusions helped at first, Teigen eventually lost her pregnancy and wrote about it in a <a href="https://chrissyteigen.medium.com/hi-2e45e6faf764">Medium post</a> on October 27.Since losing her baby, named Jack, Teigen said she's received an outpouring of love from fans and friends alike. But in her Instagram post, she specifically highlighted her friend (and celebrity manicurist) Kimmie Kyees."Ok, I tried writing this 4 times but the tears were too much. Here we go again, with my heart full of warmth and happiness," Teigen said in the Instagram post."My friend <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kimmiekyees/">@kimmiekyees</a> sent me this with the caption, 'Me and 6 of my friends donated blood to replace the 7 pints you were given in the hospital, in honor of baby Jack. I love you friend,'" Teigen wrote.Teigen added that blood-donation volunteers told Kyees they were experiencing a shortage because their top donors, high school students, weren't donating due to remote schooling."Usually they'd get a coupon for an ice cream cone or a movie ticket, but without school in session, donations are down. I have a lot of friends who normally would donate from a special day at work, but alas, no work," Teigen said.Following Teigen's posts about her pregnancy loss, others who have had the same experience <a href="https://www.insider.com/people-sharing-miscarriage-stillbirth-experiences-after-chrissy-teigens-pregnancy-loss-2020-10">applauded the television personality</a> for her honesty."Oh, momma. It hurts. I've been there. My Maya's birthday is Monday, stillborn at 21 weeks. Breathe, hug Miles and Luna, lean on your people. Sending you love and healing," one <a href="https://www.insider.com/people-sharing-miscarriage-stillbirth-experiences-after-chrissy-teigens-pregnancy-loss-2020-10">Teigen fan wrote</a>, referring to Teigen's two other children."It's unbearable pain and feels terribly unfair.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div><ul class="summary-list"><li>Bonnie Roupé developed pre-eclampsia when she was pregnant with her second child.</li><li>She didn't understand the symptoms, and afterwards developed an app that would inform pregnant women of the potential health problems they could experience.</li><li>The Bonzun app follows how the baby is growing, but also acts as a virtual midwife that can tell you which symptoms are normal, and which ones are more serious. </li><li>Pregnancy is the biggest killer of women worldwide, and Roupé hopes to change this with spreading reliable information.</li><li>She also hopes to give power back to the women, and help them feel at ease, because some can feel shame and embarrassment if their experience isn't perfect.</li></ul>Everyone is born, Bonnie Roupé told INSIDER, so an app for pregnant women actually has the potential to involve every person in the world.<a href="http://bonzun.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bonzun,</a> founded by Roupé in 2012, works like a virtual midwife, supplying users with information about how their baby is growing, and what the changes in their body mean.Roupé is a serial entrepreneur, and set up Bonzun after already building a successful sports and health magazine called Red Tee. <a href="https://www.swedcham.cn/2018/04/ceo-of-bonzun-appointed-one-of-the-most-powerful-women-in-sweden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Last year she was named one of the most powerful women in Sweden</a> because of her influence in the tech industry.However, the idea came about because when pregnant herself, Roupé realized there was no resource for credible and accurate information, and many web pages gave out of date, irrelevant, and even harmful advice.Whenever she wanted information she could trust, she would have to rely on medical professionals and go to the doctor's office or a hospital."We are so in the hands of our midwives and our doctors, that we don't have the proper education ourselves," Roupé said. "And what I think is surprising is that the knowledge around the risk around pregnancy is very low everywhere."Although pregnancy is one of the most normal things in the world, a lot can go wrong.Read more: <a href="https://www.thisisinsider.com/surprising-facts-about-pregnancy-2018-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">31 surprising things you may not know about pregnancy</a>For instance, pregnancy is the number one killer of women, with 300,000 mothers dying every year during pregnancy and birth. Over five million children are stillborn or die within 24 hours, and seven million are born with birth defects every year.Health problems that affect the mother include <a href="https://www.nct.org.uk/pregnancy/worries-and-discomforts/pregnancy-related-conditions/hellp-syndrome" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HELLP syndrome</a>, gestational diabetes, anemia, and blood clots.But these are facts that most people don't know.<h2>Ectopic pregnancies and pre-eclampsia are two of the most common problems</h2>About 1-2% of pregnancies on average are ectopic, which is when the embryo attaches outside the uterus - usually in one of the Fallopian tubes. This number is higher in China at 2.3-4.1%, meaning there are about 900,000 cases there every year.The first signs and symptoms typically include abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, and it's very rare the fetus survives.According to Bonzun, statistics suggest 27,060 women in China died from ectopic pregnancies in 2014, which is 74 every day. With the right health information, people would know that the prognosis for the mother is good if the fetus is aborted, and the risk of death drops to 0.1-0.3%.Pre-eclampsia causes 40 to 60% of all maternal deaths in developing countries, yet many women are unaware of the symptoms like high blood pressure, swelling, severe headaches, and pain just below the ribs. Roupé suffered with pre-eclampsia herself while pregnant with her second child, but was one of the many women who didn't realise what was going on. The goal for Bonzun, she said, is to stop this from happening. "We're not told what to look out for ourselves," Roupé said. "We're always just asked to contact our doctors if we're concerned, but maybe we would like some basic knowledge first."<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div><a href="http://bonzun.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Bonzun My Pregnancy app</a> has been downloaded over two million times in 79 countries so far.One of its features is helping women understand when they should seek medical help or stay at home.Women can look up their symptoms and check with an AI doctor bot what they mean.The app also explains test results and monitors progress, like the baby's movement, growth, and mother's blood pressure, over time. The next feature will give relevant information for women who are going through IVF treatments.Not only does this help women feel more in control over their health, but it would also potentially free up the time pregnant women spend at doctor's surgeries and hospitals.Read more: <a href="https://www.thisisinsider.com/what-to-know-before-trying-to-get-pregnant-2019-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">7 things you should know before trying to get pregnant</a>Roupé thinks the spread of misinformation about pregnancy could be somewhat down to the fact that we believe pregnant women shouldn't be stressed out or frightened by what can potentially go wrong."Something that frustrated me when I was pregnant that I didn't get all the information that I needed," she said. "There was someone filtering the information, there was someone deciding what to tell me and what not to tell me ... They treat you like a small child that should be protected ... Like protect that tiny female brain."<h2>Not everyone experiences the 'pregnancy glow'</h2>It's also hard to ignore how pregnancy is portrayed in the media. Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, for instance, have regularly been complimented on their blossoming pregnant bellies. But just because you see a photo of the royals wearing heels, that doesn't actually mean it's their norm."You have no idea if she just took three steps in those high heels just for the picture, or if she's one of those rare people who can walk in high heels when they're pregnant," Roupé said. "Because most women can't."Also, the "pregnancy glow" isn't universal. It's the result of hormone fluctuations, increased blood flow, and oilier skin. But while all women experience hormonal changes, not all of them will see it on the surface. This doesn't mean there's anything wrong, but not feeling beautiful and "glowing" can lead some women to feel shame about their experience, Roupé said."We have a view of pregnancy as being this magical time," Roupé said. "And if it doesn't feel magical then there must be something wrong with you."<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div><h2>People are becoming more honest about the realities of pregnancy</h2>The reality is a lot of pregnant women find those nine months incredibly hard. Even without the health concerns, women can experience discomfort, swelling, and sickness.Some high profile women have been upfront about their struggles during pregnancy, suggesting the conversation about pregnancy is opening up.<a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/serena-williams-vogue-cover-interview-february-2018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Serena Williams spoke to Vogue</a> last year about blood clots that formed just after she'd given birth to her daughter. Her C-section wound also burst open, and a large hematoma flooded her abdomen with blood.<a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/beyonce-september-issue-2018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beyoncé Knowles experienced pre-eclampsia</a> when she was pregnant with her twins. She told Vogue this meant she had to have an emergency C-section because the health of her and her children was in danger.Comedian Amy Schumer has also been <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvp9xxplvWi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">documenting her pregnancy on social media</a>, and showing the less glamorous sides <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNjmDdFUQj/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">such as severe morning sickness, called Hyperemesis gravidarum</a>.Roupé said we shouldn't put pregnant women on a pedestal anymore, and accept that pregnancy can be hard. She also said that pregnancy is just a short time in your life, and then it's over. So the idea that women who have children somehow lose their value is incredibly outdated."At the time people died when they were 35, then I guess if you had your child when your were 25, that was your life," she said. "Having a child was the purpose of being a woman. So when you were pregnant, you were peaking in your power and in your authority. But that's not the case anymore."Roupé thinks of Bonzun as giving women power over their own health during pregnancy, which she believes is long overdue."I think it's time for the patriarchy to be dead," she said. "It is empowerment for the pregnant women, because knowledge is power. And we're just deciding to tell the pregnant women everything."<div> </div>
