Any recommended pregnancy reads? I read expecting better which is mentioned on here a lot which was great for navigating Do’s and Dont’s. But any recommendations for a more holistic guide? I hear what to expect is a bit antiquated.

I recently tested positive for covid and thankfully recovered. I just had another test and waiting for the results. My partner has been asking me when I can go back into the office. The truth is I’m hesitant to going back in because I likely caught the virus there and I have parents at home. But I feel some pressure to go back in. Any advice?

I feel like a lot of the discourse about pharmacists lately ignores that we are often just as informed or even more informed about the drugs physicians are handing out than they are. When it comes to the effects of medication we are without a doubt the best informed, period. Why is there this stigma that we want to prevent people from getting what they need?

Hey everyone! How is everyone holding up with all this COVID-19 craziness?

Has anyone here had a difficult recovery post-egg retrieval? It’s been 3 days and I’m still in a lot of pain. The medical team said I should expect to be uncomfortable for 5-7 days or more due to the high number of eggs retrieved (=very swollen ovaries) and it will take 2 weeks to get back to normal.

I’m advanced age and respond well to ivf medications but don’t have good quality eggs . Thinking of going in with a lower dosage stims and increasing upward and maybe longer stim cycle. Has anyone tried this strategy ?

Has anyone been able to wean completely off meds with regular therapy, self care techniques Etc or is it best to maybe stay on a low dose? I know everyone is diff...

Took my first round of Clomid 50 mg this month and learned today that my progesterone levels are low and I likely I didn’t ovulate. I feel discouraged. Been ttc for 10 months now and I learned recently that Im not ovulating. I didnt think It would be hard getting pregnant as I had regular cycles before covid. Anyone had luck ovulating and conceiving with an increased dosage of clomid? Looking for encouragement and success stories to lift my spirits

Have 2 kids now and close to late 30s. I am diabetic but otherwise healthy. Looking for life insurance policies. I don't know where to start. What should be coverage and monthly premium i need to target. I don't trust agents as they will try to get me into something i don't understand and may get locked up. Any good resources online or companies that are recognized for providing coverage. What type of policies you guys have.

I remember questioning how they could even obtain some of the stuff they are asking for if you were not forthcoming. For instance, how would they know if you've been civilly sued if that's not always public information or how would they know if you are current on your taxes?

I'm upping my dosage this month for the first time since I started taking medication. I've had very few side effects so far (trouble sleeping) but I'm worried with this higher dosage I'll get more of the bad along with more of the good. What do you guys use for insomnia or sleep issues while on ADHD medication? Thanks.

I had an amniocentesis performed at 16 weeks and found out today (19.5 weeks) that the chromosome analysis and microarray to test for microdeletions came back normal. Had they not come back normal, I would have aborted. I am distraught that others will not have this choice now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade.

Hello everyone,
I’m supporting a mom who had a 2 month supply of breast milk in her freezer but the freezer stopped working at some point on Thursday after 5pm. I believe she shouldn’t re-freeze the milk at this point. She said the milk is cool but not frozen anymore. Do you have any suggestions please? Can she re-freeze it?

I keep on reading stories about how Goldman Sachs analysts are working 80+ hour workweeks and making six figure salaries but are feeling burned out. I have a solution.

I am driving both me and my husband crazy. We both work from home in a 4 bedroom home pretty decent size. My husband wants to do daycare and id prefer a nanny. Thankfully money isn’t the the concern, it’s more he thinks we’ll be distracted and I am nervous about anti-vax people and rise of polio and whooping cough. We went to a daycare we liked but they did they allowed religious exceptions which makes me uncomfortable. Would love to get feedback.

What are some of the joys of motherhood? We tend to talk about the struggles of pregnancy, postpartum and motherhood in general so would love to hear the positives/what you love about being a mom (as I anxiously approach my due date)!

I am over five weeks into pregnancy and have no pregnancy symptoms. Should I start getting worried and plan to take more pregnancy tests?

Pregnant with my first, due 3rd week of April. My husband has an optional work trip in February for a few days, and asked if I was comfortable with him going. My first reaction was of course, it's still a couple months out from my due date and I'm having a healthy pregnancy so far. Am I under thinking this? Any other considerations I should have?

Silly question: When is the second trimester?

If truly 40/3 I would think 13w2d, but sources say 12, 13, and 14. You hear 12 weeks referred to as a milestone, but is that accurate?

I've seen a few posts asking if others got the vaccine while pregnant. Has anyone decided NOT to get it and can share the rationale or info they looked at? Thank you!

Medela or Spectra breast pump? Can’t decide between the two.

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?

Going on maternity leave in a few months and my manager just gave me a new long term assignment. I want to put my best foot forward and help out but I am also exhausted. What to do? I just want to nest in peace.
