Haven’t used, but I just want to say that I was super worried about tearing before I delivered. I did end up have a second degree tear when I gave birth, but I promise I didn’t know or care. Legit, it did not hurt at all thanks to my epidural. You can also get local anesthetic - just discuss with your doctor.

I think it’s great to prevent tearing if you can, though. Wishing you the best!

Exactly!! I was shocked. Didn’t hurt at all, and didn’t seem to affect my healing 🤷‍♀️

Don’t know about aniball, but perineal massage has been shown to help prevent 3rd and 4th degree tears. I used the guidelines in “Your Body is Magic” (the book is about as woo woo as it sounds but it had the least intimidating instructions I found, although there’s plenty of advice on the internet too), and it might have helped.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week. I don't understand how that's legal since it is so off the calendar of services and crosses calendar years (and insurance coverage), where most costs are incurred at the end of pregnancy with increased visit frequency and delivery.

Moms or Dads of two, do you ever look back and wish you had tried for three? Moms or Dads of three, how was the transition from two to three and how much did life change?

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?

My wife is around 3 months pregnant. Doctor has recommended Irospan. And my insurance says they don’t cover it.

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.
