I did, but I probably would not have if I was not wfh. Started a new job halfway through my pregnancy and wanted to prove my worth. Idk if it was the right decision or the wrong decision but the partners were so glad I was back and able to help. No one bothered me while I was out and everyone is very understanding of boundaries in the evenings and when unexpected doctor's appointments come up.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
