Anyone get their EMBA? Im looking for advice and real feedback specifically about being pregnant while in the program. My husband and I have been trying for another child for over 1.5 years, dealing with some unexplained secondary fertility issues (have a 4 yr old and am currently 36) I was nominated and selected to receive my EMBA, sponsored by my employer. It all kind of happened unexpectedly and I felt like I shouldn’t miss this massive opportunity. (Finishing in comments, sorry)

So true. Thank you!

So I accepted the offer and am starting in the fall. Of course not guaranteed to happen, but am going to still try to get pregnant due to my age. Anyone go through an EMBA program while pregnant? I would definitely go to school during maternity leave, just concerned about being out while I give birth, the stigma of being pregnant and letting my group down, etc… any advice is welcome!

Do it! The fact that they have offered it, tells me that they are thinking you are upper leadership material.

I know people who have done masters and doctoral degrees pregnant and while working. It’s possible, just keep your notebook with you because pregnancy brain does have an impact and you will need it to write things down.

I have an EMBA. It helped me fill in the gaps that I needed to move up in business. I didn’t see a pay increase. But it is more of a tool to move further later.

Thank you! How tough was your program?? Definitely worried about that too 😂

I feel like I’ve been neglecting this bowl. 😔 I’ve been doing keto with 16/8 intermittent fasting for the past month. By the time it hits my eating window, I’m starving and I don’t have time to make instagrammable meals. Like the one below 😄: Eggs and breakfast sausage with Spanish and Buttered cauliflower rice, and a salad. Not very exciting, I know. But what’s exciting is I dropped 15lbs!!! 😁

Covid has been hard. March 2029- December 2020 I drank a lot to cope without realizing it. January- March I didn't realize I was depressed. March I came to terms with increase and ongoing suicidal ideation and needed help.

I went into a intensive outpatient program (IOP) which has been super helpful.

During the beginning of covid I drank every day and in a great deal. January it was a "dry" month which was hard the first week but overall great.

March 2021 realized I'm clinically depressed.

I thought this type of testing was optional and usually recommended if you are using a donor. My guess is that they are booked and pushing me to the Jan cycle. Thoughts?
