Currently pregnant with my second and am having the hardest time. I’m barely 7 weeks and I can’t get out of bed all day. I had HG with my first and looks like it’s the same this time around. Recently moved to US and hadn’t figured out primary care yet. Is there a way I can get a sick leave for a week or two? Any recommendations on how to get a note or checked?

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role?

Any advice would be appreciated!

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.

I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
