Anyone experience painful to touch/ swollen lymph nodes in armpits all of first trimester? Is I it normal? Tonight it escalated to literally throbbing pain.

On my way to my third session with my new therapist. I think after this one is when I’ll decide if I’m going to move forward with her.

Anyone else have trouble finding the right fit?

Can anyone recommend a good book/materials to prep for the CIPP/CIPM? 🙏🏽

How are your workout routines going during this time?

Daycare recommendations in 78750 neighborhood?

Ok. I am teaching music in person and when we have a case of COVID in the school, I push into the classroom for 10 days. Are there music websites that are free that I can go to for quick lessons when I’m asked to teach in the classroom. I was told today with 5 minutes to prepare that we had a case, I couldn’t teach in my room and I couldn’t do the ukulele unit I had planned. I had to think on the fly and quickly came up with a BrainPop for them. I’d like to find a few more music sites.

Dear Fish,

I worked out twice today on an empty stomach, then went to the airport to travel for the holidays. I’ve had two drinks and I’m very drunk🥺. How to fix?

Sincerely,
Me

Has anyone gotten SMILE lasik surgery? I understand it’s fairly new but less invasive than any other lasik. Based out of nyc, any advice would be greatly appreciated

I accidentally took 50 mg of Unisom instead of 25 mg (my doctor just recently recommended I take it). While I wait to hear back from the doctor, does anyone know if 50 mg is okay?

Has anyone else faced the issue with UHC for coverage of a second cycle? I I just heard from my clinic that because I previously froze some eggs that they may not cover this next cycle where I plan to fertilize new eggs. And I’ve discussed 2 cycles with my doctor.

I’m 28F, starting the elective egg freezing journey. How important are vitamins, açaí, fitness, etc to egg quality? I’m generally healthy but wouldn’t say I’m super active (only walk ~40m a day) or supplemented, and different REs/individuals seem to recommend different things. Just trying to 80/20 this…

Has anyone ever filed a successful claim for high pressure fuel pump and fuel lines with insurance? No warranty coverage available, and insurance says not covered. The cost = $1300

Overall take on this bowl:

Will you immediately be going back to your gym the day it opens up?

Passed up a dream job in NY because I was so worried I would fail. I have Seasonal Affective Disorder and struggle with claustrophobia. I wanted that job so bad but I just thought the weather...

Curious, are unreasonable expectations, continued stress, unclear KPIs (which are then rated poorly), mental distress and anxiety cause for legal action?

Tip for anyone taking the CAIA exam, get UpperMark. Was using willey and was abt 1/2 complete and borrowed a friends test bank … night and day much harder and honestly was more like what I expected

How do are you folks with mental health issues and also taking Covid precautions seriously dealing with this all? 8 months of not seeing coworkers, more limited social outings, etc. is really starting to take a toll on me. Motivation to work is rock bottom and everything is giving me anxiety. Ugh how am I going to survive this winter.

Former Audit Folks! What did you say when the interviewer asks why you want to move from Audit to FDD?

Do people ever exit A&M FDD for other opportunities? I would imagine most people stay because of the pay. Any examples of what people have left for?

What is an appropriate amount of calls you should have with HR /recruiter? What if you haven’t heard anything from them after the 1st round or case study? How should you follow up?

How do you deal with counter offers? I have an offer to join a larger tech company in a more senior role, with bonus and RSUs that my current start up can’t match. But my current company want me to stay. They offered an increased base salary which is still below the new offer and I went back and said no, so they might increase. This only came about by me exploring a headhunt approach after being underpaid by my current company for the time I’ve been here . Would you hear them out or just leave?

Hi there! Tesla enthusiast graduating with an Informatics degree (concentration in Data Analytics) soon. Also planning on doing a coding bootcamp to broaden my range of skills. My dream is to start at Tesla. Will be applying for internships soon to get my foot in the door. I’m unsure whether to apply for a Software role or a Data Engineer role. I want the path I choose to be both fulfilling AND lucrative. Which would be more of the latter, generally? Any advice appreciated! ☺️

85K OTE edTech sales going on 8 years of sales experience

I feel like I'm doing everything right, but my research is not getting the attention it deserves.

I've submitted papers to all the right journals, gone to all the right conferences, and published on all the right topics. Yet no one seems to care—no one's citing my work!

How do I get people to pay attention?

Potentially interviewing for a sports betting account - anyone have any insight into what marketing for that kind of client is like? Feels like it might get complicated with the legalities of betting, but a lot of the bigger companies have been doing some fun work. Curious to hear from anyone who works/has worked on accounts like this.

Is it bad to talk about how you didn’t get a promotion in your essays? It was a genuine growing point for me and I took steps to get promoted a few months later, but didn’t know if getting passed up for a promotion is a bad sign for adcoms

Any 🐠 spending their weekdays in Philadelphia?

How come teams do walkthroughs and still have no idea what’s going on during YE?

Any startup set up a H1B visa before?

My research indicates govt fees of $5K, legal fees around $3-5k, and like a 1/3 chance if employee has a masters degree, maybe 1/4 if they don’t. Can any give me a pulse check on this?

Hmm… this has never happened before. My toilet seat is broken. Is this something the building super takes care of or do I need to buy one and install myself??

okay so do you really tip the doormen who suck the same amount as the doormen who don’t? my weekday daytime doorman is really friendly and accommodating but the evening one is terrible, rude, and never goes out of their way to help with anything

I recently went freelance as an EP and started my own LLC as well (to get the full benefits of being a freelancer). Some agencies and clients want to pay on a W2 versus 1099 / as an independent contractor. Should I still take the gig if W2 or stand my ground and pass?

Do I need to take an infant CPR class before baby arrives? Any other classes you recommend? Thank you!

Any mommy groups in South FL? Do any professionals even work in South FL?

Silly question… how do I know if it’s Braxton Hicks or just kicks (and does it matter)? I’m feeling this strange tightening/pressure in the middle on either side of my belly. Baby kicks are usually more in my groin/pelvis area and feel different, but baby has been super active the last 24 hours.

I encourage all moms to be and dads to be on this bowl to ask any questions related to pregnancy. From general pregnancy questions to thrombosed hemmroids and anything else in between.

Has anyone here had COVID during pregnancy? Can someone reassure me with a good outcome? Thankfully I’m vaccinated but it still hit me pretty hard, and I’m worried about outcomes, particularly with neurodevelopment…

Folks! Almost 7 weeks. I have some pain on just one side of the pelvis. Some mild lower back pain on the same side. No other major preg symptoms except fatigue. Hcg levels have been increasing but very slowly. Have an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow but freaking out if it could be ectopic! Any similar experiences ? TIA

Where have you found luck getting maternity clothes for work?

Just starting third trimester and my nausea has come back (vomiting multiple times in recent days) - has that happened to anyone else around this time? Normal for 3rd tri?

Neither my husband nor I are good with change and when my husband and I went for the ultrasound he nervously asked "she's too sick to eat anything other than her vitamins and water, is it ok for her and the baby to go without?" Our doctor just smiled and replied "don't worry, baby takes" I don't know why but that was so funny to us. It kind of became our mantra as we navigate and move our life around that "baby takes," its made it feel more Us vs Change rather than Me vs Him. Thought I'd share

I am going in for the NIPT tomorrow. A bit nervous, for those who have done it how long did it take to get back?

Spouse has itchiness all over. Started day before yesterday. She’s at about 30 weeks with twins. Also noticed a bumpy rash in the creases between her legs and groin area. Waiting for call from OB but does anyone have experience with this?

Is the gender prediction at 19 weeks accurate ??

I know this has been asked 1047 times but I’m so beyond frustrated at this point. I CANNOT find cute maternity clothes. I’ve looked at pink blush, seraphine, H&M, all department stores, asos, target. Literally everywhere. HELP. I need clothes that aren’t just sweatpants that I can wear possibly to work and out of my house.
