All the stress and travel makes me feel permanently bloated (and look six months pregnant). Do you ladies also deal with intense bloating? What are ways you manage?

Less/minimal alcohol intake! Consistent exercise also has helped me reduce my bloating. I used to get painfully bloated and I 1) started drinking more water 2) stopped drinking on an empty stomach 3) stopped drinking fizzy water 4) stated exercising more consistently

And extreme bloating could also be an intolerance to something like dairy or gluten

I could be imaging this but I drink kombucha/take probiotics and I think that helps. But who knows lol

I just went through this...Drink lots of water. Eat veg/fruit/meat; stay away from salty food (all the restaurant food here is so salty). Walk/exercise.

Find food with a probiotic your tummy likes. I found kombucha works better for me than yogurt. If I can have a kombucha before I fly, it prevents jet bloat (believe me,5 hours with bloat is painful)

My dr also gave me some water pills. Haven’t tried them, yet, as change in food seems to have helped.

Good luck!

I up my water intake the day before, day of, and day after fly day. I also drink ~8-10oz of coconut water before bed almost every day (yes, has some sugar but helps my digestion and skin hydration). I also ALWAYS carry peppermint tea and GasX chewables in a pinch! Peppermint is really good at helping cut the gas in your gut and settle the stomach

How long did you wait to tell your boss you’re pregnant? I’m 7 and a half weeks pregnant and have a subchorionic hematoma so my doctor has been doing twice weekly scans to monitor because of my previous miscarriages. It’s obviously affecting my availability and I want to tell my boss but I don’t know if it’s the right decision.

I posted here some months back about my ectopic pregnancies but today, I'm posting to tell you all to hang in there and God will do it for you. (Please don't insult me of you don't believe in God because I strongly do).
In a nut shell, we had baby #1 without trying. Started trying for #2 and over 2 years, I had 4 miscarriages and 2 ectopics. In July, my doc informed me that the only way forward was through IVF. I was tired and confused. I PRAYED! and continued trying. (The rest in the comments.)

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
