Do you all take 4 weeks prior to delivery date short term disability benefits? What would be the reason not to take it and work until the last minute?

I have been working in special education for 12 years ; 8 years at the high school level and 4 years at the middle school level. I love my kids and what I do but I am seriously burnt out with all of the extra work that we have to do in addition to teaching. I want to be a general education 1st or 2nd grade teacher in hopes of avoiding the mountain of paperwork and the physical labor of assisting large students with daily personal care activities. What are the pros and cons of working in Gen Ed?

How do you deal when you know you’re just so burnt out? I feel it— everything is magnified, home life feels more chaotic. I’m looking for jobs. Getting nowhere and lots of automated rejection notes. Work demands are never ending. We have staff, not the right staff, so a lot of work falls to me. I never get to turn off. It’s wearing. I’ve been trying “take care of myself” going to yoga, getting a drink with a friend, but the demands leave me feeling like I never get to be idle.

Can someone tell me,
How is life in cognizant?
Like work life balance, culture, growth, etc... in general
Thanks

So I work at a small (6 people) accounting firm, not in a big city, but I've been there 3 busy seasons for tax, I've passed 2/4 CPA exams, and I make $40k. No passing bonus, no raise structure, idk what their plan is for me after I get my license, basically no benefits.
So I want more, I love the people but I think I should leave, I don't know where to look though. I'm nervous about a big 4, i don't know if I can go industry without big 4 experience, any advice?

Could someone point me to resources on organic foods? Or whether the health benefits vary by type of food? So I’m 2 months into “eating clean” - switched entirely from Aldi to Whole Foods on the advice of many friends who felt amazing and vowed to never go back. No catalyst for me - feel fine, exercise regularly, like to think I look decent - just thought I’d try it. Yet I’ve noticed zero difference except my grocery spending has tripled. Is organic mainly a placebo? Eager to hear other opinions

So I’m 7 weeks 3 days and I haven’t been sick at all. I know I should count myself lucky and not worry at all because it’s normal but I can’t help myself but worry because I feel…normal? I got a handheld ultrasound at week 5 and the doctor saw the gestational sac but nothing else (which apparently is normal at 5 weeks) I have my first real ultrasound in 3 days and I’m so so so nervous. Any reassurance? Anyone else feeling this strange mixed emotions of grateful for feeling fine but also worried

I am a first year Assurance Associate, and I am confused about the whole CRT process. What can I expect to take place during the CRT. And is there anything that I should be preparing for?

Having a hard time staying motivated through the application process. I know conceptually it’ll be worth it to go to the schools I want to go to but it’s so far away that it doesn’t feel real.

How did you guys stay motivated? For those that have already started your MBA program, what’s something that I might be able to look forward to that might keep me excited/motivated?

I work at a 40 person company and about 35 went to the same very highly regarded school. 5 of us (including me) went to an easier school but 2nd in the state. The majority likes to make fun of us, like a 45 year old dude still making college hate jokes.

But it’s always fun to remember we ended up in the same place making the same money. And they worked so much harder for it.

How are you all sleeping in your third trimester? Has the frequent bathroom trips and heavy belly impacted your sleep?

When did you tell work you are pregnant? I’m at 13w now. Boss is nice and company is supportive just wasn’t sure what was standard and im generally cautious as this is my first. Planning to tell my friends and extended family in next week or two.

How many of you ladies are planning or ended up being a stay at home mom post maternity leave? I'm really considering it because I've always desired to stay home for a few years in child's first few years of life and we can afford it, but I'm also feeling a little sheepish about my work reputation and losing a great role (since I would have to quit). This will be my first child, FYI

Has anyone been diagnosed with a subchorionic hematoma/hemorrhage in their first trimester ? How did it go for you- did it go away, stay without impact, or lead to a miscarriage ? It’s basically a form of internal bleeding- I’m super high risk already (44 yo, IVF)- but it increases the likelihood of miscarriage even more. Thanks!

Stressing about my gestational diabetes test Tuesday. I have a lot of risk factors and have been feeling horrible lately after feeling not so bad for the last 2 months :/

Currently reading the book “Work pause thrive” to understand how I can put my career on pause and successfully pick it back up once my kids are older. Right now I have 2 under 2 and trying for a 3rd. Looking for feedback from anyone who has tried this successfully.

Third trimester. Sometimes when I sneeze hard, a little pee comes out. Any tricks on stopping it? Feeling like a hot mess.

Started wearing a support belt per my doctors recommendation because I’ve been having pelvic pain. Wore it for the first time today and this baby will not stop moving. Now wondering if I’m choking my baby and maybe she doesn’t like this belt? I haven’t felt the pain I normally feel and no back pain this morning but now I’m feeling bad. I don’t want to have comfort if it’s causing discomfort on my baby. Anyone experienced this?

To those of you resistant to family cars - I’m a sports car driving, fast car loving, low to the ground kind of mom-to-be. (e.g. no back seat, no back doors). Obvi I need to get a new car but what isn’t too large, makes sense for a 3 person family (no more kids coming), while not sacrificing my need for speed and desire for a smaller/low to the ground/well handling ride? So far considering an S4 /S5, 3 or 4 series. Back doors seems to be a requirement for getting in and out of a car seat huh!🙄
