Consulting folks- At what point is it reasonable to say no to travel? I’m not sleeping well, work in general is stressing me out and the thought of travel just feels like too much 5 months into pregnancy.

Imo it's when your mental or physical health drops and when your doctor is willing to provide a "no travel" note to your employer

I traveled for one day during my first trimester, and then a few weeks during my second. I'm stopping travel entirely at 26 weeks. Told my engagement manager this when I informed him that I'm expecting.

I stopped traveling ~32 weeks with both my pregnancies. But I also wasn’t travelling that frequently to begin with, so a one off trip was manageable. I don’t think I’d last that long with weekly travel

I had complications so had a doctor restrict travel and write a note at 20 weeks.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

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.
