I had very bad anxiety when I first found out I was pregnant and it’s risen and fallen throughout pregnancy (I’m at 35 weeks). Can’t recommend therapy enough, especially with a cognitive behavioral approach. Feel free to DM me as well

A had this a bit. And post partum as well. I have OCD and the weird intrusive thoughts were a lot to deal with. I’m 3m postpartum now and it’s subsided quite a bit. At one point I was getting afraid to cross streets because of a worry that the cars wouldn’t stop.

I have a lot of anxiety but it’s about work seems amplified though. I’m usually on anxiety meds but chose to stop while pregnant. Feel like I’ll get back on them after baby is born. Also am super anxious about labor and will be a mess the last 2 weeks but I try to just not think about it 😅

Yes. I recommend you seek out a maternal health therapist. It really helped me keep the anxiety under control (esp during covid times).

like

Yes, very common. Please find a good therapist and tell your Ob.

The fact that I received an email on a Sunday from my senior manager asking me to not take PTO that I've earned and reserved MONTHS ago because of poor planning on his part has officially given me the push to start looking for another job. Even the partner said that it's "very important" that I be available those weeks. I'm going on a road trip with my fiancé to get away from work and have a mental break. I have been working at least 60 hours since February, but now I'm officially done.

Hello all!

Changing from Vacation and Sick Time to just plain PTO starting in Jan. Staff can save up to 40hrs of their accrued Sick Time banks to use in 2022 in addition to their new PTO.

We have a part-time employee with more than 40 sick hours who will try to use as much of their Sick Time as they can before Jan 1. If this person has an avg weekly schedule of 17.5 hrs, can we stop them using sick time if their sick + work time will take them over their 17.5 scheduled hours?

Thanks!!

One time this guy I was seeing pissed me off and instead of doing the healthy and mature thing, I signed him up for every relentlessly annoying mailing list/telemarketing scam I could find. Anything from the acorn stairlift company to the karate classes in my hometown (they will call you once a month to get you to sign up). Am I proud of this? No. Does it still make me smile? You bet.

Best office chair for pregnancy? My ikea chair is not cutting it. I have a standing desk at home so bonus points if it works well with that. I have short legs, so it needs to be able to go lower to the floor than other chairs. Maybe one that has a great range so I could use it to lean on while standing and also sit ergonomically.
