8th year associate.I recently made a big mistake at work that’s going to make a difference in the overall strategy of the case. I’m usually so careful, and I haven’t made mistakes like this before. But I’m 7 months pregnant and I had a 1.5 year old at home. I had a ton of support from my family, but I am still so exhausted all the time. My brain just doesn’t function how it usually does. I know pregnancy is tough, but I don’t want to make that an excuse. How do I get past this?

Then that’s all you can do. Move on from it as best you can and take care of yourself and your growing baby. Find peace in knowing you won’t make the same mistake twice.
