Anyone else feel that COVID has made your first trimester a million times easier? No planes/Uber’s/cars to get nauseous in, no weird team room smells, sneaking power naps easily, wearing leggings & no morning commute!

Yes! This is my first pregnancy, and I’ll add: (1) time with my partner, (2) not having to tell anyone at a certain time bc you’re showing, (3) less crowded waiting rooms. It’s an interesting and kind of exciting time to be pregnant. :)
Although, the one big negative: FTing partner into hearing baby’s heartbeat for the first time and all other appts. :/

I agree. And also being able to make healthier meals at home.
The FT for appts and ultrasounds is a big dislike tho.

Hell yes. Able to eat more healthy and get time with partner. The FaceTime on appointments has been shitty but my husband was able to come to my 20 week scan 2 weeks ago so that was fun!

To add- I spent most of my 1st pregnancy throwing up...in hotel rooms, at the client site...at the BCG office so this is a major upgrade. I am less nauseated then first pregnancy and I do think it’s partly because I’m more comfortable and not traveling.

I agree.. and don’t have to social with people and awkwardly being asked why aren’t you drinking.. etc. honestly, just being home already a plus...

It took me 10 yrs to come out gay in the workplace. I was single during this time and then met a guy right before Covid.

Personally it was amazing because like me, he identifies as asexual gay. We have been together 3 years and it has been magical.

I started coming out as asexual and surprisingly it hasn’t gone well. People either accuse me of lying or “something amiss in the relationship”. Should I just stop caring? I like to educate people on asexuality as it hurt me my whole life but …

It’s hard to understand COVID-19 rates of infection where I’m at or was, and the contracts was not inline with corporate ideals at least not in the IT sector. Their ideals was radical and the spread of harmful information on past events to prevent ethnicities to get vaccinated was alarming. It has highest infection rate in private sector. Don’t know death rates was strictly remote and put on non-sanctioned project NDA wasn’t signed and never knew until it came down the grapevine.

Just took a positive pregnancy test this morning!! I can’t focus on work!! I got off the pill in March and figured it would take us a little while to get pregnant. I missed my period last week so took a pregnancy test yesterday (oh the irony) and it was positive! Part of me didn’t believe it so I bought a test from a diff brand, took it this AM, and it was positive again. I’m half terrified and half want to shout from the rooftops!! (It’s our first.) So posting here bc I can’t tell anyone yet!!!

Has anyone started a new job right before going on maternity leave? I’m secure at my current company and know I am fortunate to have a job/have paid maternity leave on the horizon, but I am starting to get concerned the mental toll of staying at my current company is not worth it (have been feeling this way for months before I found out I was pregnant). I have a few other job prospects, but none know I am pregnant...

My pharmacy informed me that the insurance will not cover without authorization from the psych. My psych was wary about this & instead suggested Ritalin during my session. He mentioned that insurance companies want us to first try Ritalin because they are generally cheaper. How much truth is there to this? Thanks!
