You didn’t hear it from me but the strike at Facebook is because a policy manager or something like that got fed up with conditions and basically cursed out the whole policy leadership all the way up to Nick Clegg and Mark Zuckerberg. Please god bless us all with the audacity.

Took Diclegis today based on the group recommendations and just want to stop by really quick and give a big shout out to the angel who recommended it. I was literally living a death situation with the nausea today and that really picked me up and made me feel human again. Thanks

Can pregnant people take the sleep version of liquid IV? The hydration ones I know are fine but wasn’t sure about the sleepy ones..

Is “pregnancy brain” effecting your performance? I started a new job and literally got pregnant the same week. Between fatigue, illnesses, & stress in general I guess I haven’t been performing as well. I thought I was pulling my weight, learning, and contributing lots of value to the company but I just received my 6 month review and it was terrible. My boss said I lacked energy, creativity, & attention to detail. In former roles I’ve always received positive feedback and exceeding expectations.

I'm 36 weeks and struggling. I had my daughter at the height of the first COVID wave in 2020 and had to labor and recover completely alone due to the hospital regulations and frankly it sucked. Now I have a chance to be with my partner with #2 I really just don't want to catch it so late and am therefore trying to reduce risk. My SIL/family are calling me irrational cos I asked her not to visit two days after she went to a massive indoor festival with thousands of people :( Am I?

Trying not to be reactive here until my doctor calls, but… obviously can’t help it. My blood test today (28w) came back with results that are worrying me. My RBC and HCT are low (below the standard range) which would indicate slight anemia, but ferritin came back totally normal. This alone wouldn’t cause me too much concern, except that I have counts for NRBC, which seems like a bigger problem. Has anyone else gone through this?

FTM and wondering when is the “right” time to start buying baby items? I’m still 15 weeks and it feels too early /don’t want to jinx it :/ Would love to hear from others!!

Wow I am so tired. I’m 12, almost 13 weeks and the fatigue has just hit me like a ton of bricks these past few weeks. It’s making it hard to focus or put in effort with work. Normally, this behavior would bother me… but I kind of don’t care? Anyone else relate?

Where are all my august parents?! 4 more months

7 weeks. Thank god for grocery delivery service. Can’t bear the thought of doing anything rn when I’m feeling so nauseous. Even sitting at my desk for work is so tough. I want to crawl into bed again

Just cried while telling my direct manager and partner I am expecting 🥴. I'm already having a really shitty day/week and in a really low low (didn't want to get up, eat, just wanted to roll up in a ball and cry). So hard to get out of this funk usually and pregnancy hormones and feelings making it that much worse

Anyone have to retake their NIPT test? My results came back as insufficient quantify and I’m freaking out. I’m 11.5 weeks. Not a high BMI or anything so I’m worried something is wrong with my baby

We’re at 32 weeks with twins and both are estimated to be about 4.5lbs. Anyone care to guess where they could end up by 36 weeks when they’re taken out?

I live on diet coke. How do I manage without it for 9 months? Anyone has ideas?

I’m getting induced tonight, and I have been legitimately crying for two days thinking about my dog, who has been our whole world, having a hard time adjusting to her new life where she isn’t the center of attention anymore. She’s going to be great with the baby - she knows several and is very gentle and sweet - but I’m just a wreck thinking she has no idea her whole life is about to change. Anyone have positive stories about their dogs and babies becoming best friends?

A biology question. When the baby inside me kicks mg uterus, it’s not painful at all. I guess it suggests there’s not much nerve in the uterus wall. If so, why does it hurt so much during contraction?

When in your pregnancy did you start gaining weight?

I'm 13w pregnant and will be going on maternity leave sometime in July. But right now feeling extremely mentally exhausted and want to take a 3 month sabbatical. Have been pushing it out for an year and my team is aware. Question - if the sabbatical ends early may and I go on ML in July, will that be an issue from HR perspective?

OB is suggesting baby aspirin but said it's up to me. Any pros or cons to be aware of?
