Curious, anyone have 4+ kids? How do you deliver the news that you are expecting again? Very grateful to be welcoming baby 4 soon but nervous as to the judgement when I share the news. Or am I too much in my head?

You’re overthinking this. I only have one baby but wouldn’t have any negative thoughts about someone I knew announcing a baby, no matter what number child it was.

My sister has 5 kids. She got pregnant with baby #5 only 3 months after giving birth to baby #4. She was super worried about being judged, but honestly, no one really cares after a cute baby arrives.

I only judge when they aren't handling the kids they already have well and are severely burdening others. But excluding that situation, congrats to them!

Be cautious. I personally would wait until I had to share. You might be taken off projects; happened to me

Big families are BEAUTIFUL, props to you momma for this journey youre on! I'd find it inspiring honestly, dont think about judgement and think about being surrounded by all your kids all grown up and reminiscing how far you've all come.

Hello Bengaluru people,

I have same CTC offers from pune as well as from Bengaluru.
Bengaluru company job profile seems more better and Pune company job profile seems less better.

I'm worried about food in Bengaluru that will I get the good North Indian food daily. I don't like rice and south Indian food. I mostly eat chapati and all spicy north Indian thing.

Pune Seems better in terms of food and money. Should I come to Bangalore or not that's the point.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year.

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!
