As a generous surprise my parents and my husband's parents went in on the car seat, stroller, highchair and crib together and it's arriving today. All I can think about it is our baby using it and taking her around and I am finding myself less and less patient with work. I am not even due until the beginning of April, so I still have some time to put up with this project when I get back. Anyone feel like this as they head into third trimester?

Girlfriend has very obvious high functioning anxiety and body image issues that she admits but thinks she doesn’t need therapy or medication and that reading self-help books will help her. It’s not changing in the last several years and it’s impacting our relationship. Anyone have experience with their SO dealing with untreated anxiety? I know I can’t control her but would like to express my feelings without sending her into a spiral. For context, I’ve been in therapy for 12 months and medicated

Went out for a 30 min quick lunch. Didn’t check my phone per my therapist and focused on getting lunch. When I’m back, got 50 emails which include a partner asked me to do something I didn’t respond in 20 mins and he did it himself.

Hey guys im a 16 year old working on an Instagram page for a school I work at. I’m not sure how much a usual salary for a social media manager/ filmer is but I’ve asked for 16 an hour and a 100 dollar budget for starters. They currently have a company hired for socials but they aren’t as high quality as me. I know theirs money in the pot I just need to stir it correctly. Any social media managers have insight into what a good salary and budget would be for this position? Any advice?

Can someone comment on the interview difficulty level for SDE-2 for Amazon?

Any tips on saving 30% plus living in NYC? 23 y/o. Currently have 65k between, savings, investments and checking. I’ve been living at home for the last 1.5 years. Make 75k and I’m about to start paying ~$2000 in living expenses (rent + utilities). Salary should jump this year to at least over 80k in October. (maybe more but in this economy who knows lol)

Anyone noticing an overall decline in sessions? We’re getting such low traffic compared to where we were last year and the year before. I’m having a hard time pinpointing where we’re going wrong, but it’s just seems like it’s on every channel. Sales are down, too. Not sure if this is happening to any other brands, but our partner agency that runs our SEO/search/social said it’s happening to their other clients as well.

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?

What week did you start showing? Trying to hide the bump as long as possible so want to be prepared! I feel huge at night but it’s gone by morning... maybe it’s bloating so far.

Anyone have any good sports bra reccs or any good bras to wear while working out. All mine have that tight strap that cut circulation off lol

Recently found out I’m pregnant. I have PCOS and I don’t recall a period since July 😐 I also don’t think I’m that far along. Does anyone have any suggestions prior to my first doctor visit?

I asked this in another bowl but everyone recommended places outside the country. Looking for lowkey baby moon trip reccs. We’d be going early bc it’s the only time that works for us (20 wks). We live in DC & are thinking maybe FL? Ideally, someplace warm with beaches. Most people recc PR or other islands but with Zika I’m pretty nervous to do that. Does anyone have any locations they’d recommend? Florida seems kind of lame but it’s easy to get to and still warm lol. Early march time frame!

Probably no right answer but a girl can ask. In my early to mid 40s and preggo. I'm walking and started prenatal yoga. So paranoid what its gonna do post birth to my gut. What can I do now to help alleviate some gut damage. I know the older we are we dont bounce back as nicely.

Any books that you found very helpful to read as expecting parents? We’re just nine weeks along, but would love to start preparing however we can!

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?

So does the bloating ever end? 🤣

Also, a more serious question. Was anyone here eating at a caloric deficit before they got pregnant? If so, at what point did you stop? My first appt isn’t for another a few weeks and I’m curious. I know weight gain isn’t crucial until 2nd trimester, but I’m curious about weight loss now. I know some people tend to be sick for a lot of their 1st trimstester and end up losing weight anyway. 🤔

Is the gender prediction at 19 weeks accurate ??

Any online workout plan for pregnancy?

Ladies - I am trying to understand a situation I have no experience in so I’m looking to learn here. I have a friend who recently had a baby. Although limited, she posts pictures on Instagram (private account) of herself and the baby but all with the baby’s face blurred out or an emoji covering the baby’s face. I don’t understand this at all. Why post the picture at all then
