I want a baby 😭
I hate being a mom, didn't think I would
When is the good time to tell the company that I am 3 months pregnant. My date of joining is 18th of July. I understand by law I need to finish 80days with the company before I avail maternity benefits which I can easily do in next 3 months.
I want to understand if women who go on maternity leave during probation are treated differently or if there will be discrimination once I let them know about my situation. Wipro Accenture Allstate Quantiphi analytics pvt ltd.

Private stalls are definitely not the norm, especially at that young age and at a public pool. I would only be concerned if the camp didn’t have private camp-only access to the locker rooms while they were changing.
Thanks, D1 and SC1 for your insights. I know the counsellors are nearby but I’ll ask if others are allowed in the locker room when their group is changing. Might come across as an odd question so I’ll probably have to explain the cultural context behind it. I risk being judged but probably worth the peace of mind that will hopefully come out of it.
Yes, it is. I moved to the U.S. in 3rd grade and was shocked at the nudity in my gym glass locker room. As someone who’s been in your son’s position, trust me, it’s a massive shock.
Thanks for sharing. My wife thinks he’ll be fine but I have been wondering if the swimming part of camp is worth it for that reason. Other aspects of the camp are great. I am sure he’ll have to deal with it but maybe he can handle it better when he’s older.
I guess he better start getting used to it now. Will be even more challenging when he grows up.
Im an adult and I still don’t feel used to massive nudity in change rooms. So while
I understand and don’t get offended or anything, it’s not something you just have to get used to everywhere you go.
Yes it’s normal in America for people to be naked in all locker/changing rooms.
Most people change quickly and are only naked for a short period of time. But there are some who are very comfortable walking around in the buff.
Can’t escape it forever. Your son will encounter the same during PE class in school and in the gym locker rooms later in life.
I’m an adult and still change quickly in the locker room haha.
I’ve been there. It is a shock; the challenge comes if you believe in circumcision or not, because it could be challenge for boys and some react differently when they see who are different.

Yeah I joined my gym 12+ years ago and was shocked at the nudity. Especially with the older guys. Now I walk around naked too. It’s just more convenient sometimes and not a huge deal. Now some of the guys will get in the hot tub or sauna nude. That’s not for me. Maybe in another 12 years
