Rihanna Dishes on Pregnancy, Relationship with A$AP Rocky
In a cover story for the May issue of Vogue, Rihanna discussed learning of her pregnancy, which she seemingly admits was unplanned, and her much-talked-about pregnancy style. "I wouldn’t say [we were] planning [to start a family],” said the singer. “But certainly not planning against it. I don’t know when I ovulate or any of that type of s–t. We just had fun. And then it was just there on the test.” As for her pregnancy style, which has never followed typical maternity fashion, Ri said, “I’m not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing,” Rihanna said. “I’m hoping that we were able to redefine what’s considered ‘decent’ for pregnant women. My body is doing incredible things right now, and I’m not going to be ashamed of that.”

"To address the critical need for supporting the mental health of children and adolescents in primary care, the Task Force looked at the evidence on screening for anxiety, depression, and suicide risk," expressed Dr. Martha Kubik, a member of the task force, in a statement.
