For those who are getting ready to go back to work after maternity leave and not planning to take baby to daycare. How did you do it. I work from home and I’m planning on having baby with me as we are not comfortable sending her to day care yet. She’s going to be 4 months when I return to work in December. 😩🙏🏾

👀 Can we talk smack about auditors? Trial balances based on filed financials are still trash once it comes time to do returns, so all I’m saying is materiality can kiss my a**

How is SAP projects in IBM?

Is it ok to leave ibm for salary or a package reason, yoe is 3.6 and CCTC - 10lpa and it's been 1.4 years in ibm and I have to put papers on Monday, but the only thing that is stopping me is the team and the manager, who are so cool and I was so happy here apart from ctc

Signed up for a matchmaking service a couple months ago after getting tired of the apps. And while I’ve been underwhelmed with their process so far, I finally have my first match date this weekend. Haven’t been on a date since pre-pandemic. And never been on a true blind date like this. Wish me luck.

Planning a southern Germany and Switzerland trip over Xmas - must visit cities??

What is the most number of documents you’ve filed at once using Federal ECF? I had reason to look back today, and my record exceeds 170. Reaching that “filing submitted” page is a core memory at this point, but I’m sure it’s not that uncommon?

Woman I went on one date with keeps me informed on what she's doing. I.e. Seeing her girlfriend or on her way to a birthday party. Not used to this level of transparency after just one date. We do have a second date planned. Thoughts?

Can anyone recommend a good online pre-natal Yoga class?

Did you do the NIPT? I just had my first prenatal appt and they scheduled me for the NIPT at 10 weeks. I’m a little nervous and anxious. Did anyone get it and got a false positive? Do you not recommend it? I wish I could ask family but we’re not telling anyone until the 12 weeks mark.

anyone else feels stuck at current job, but not able to apply due to upcoming paid maternity leave benefits that you don't want to miss out on? currently still in first trimester !

We are planning to try conceiving in a month. Have been taking prenatal since 20 days. I got ovulation test kit recently. Planning to reduce workout intensity (am lifting usually) during the weeks between trying and testing for pregnancy. I have started reducing caffeine already. Is there anything else I should be cautious of at this point?

How much did you all pay for the 20 week ultrasound out of pocket? My 12 week ultrasound cost me $600 so I am guessing the 20 week one would be even more expensive. I have the high deductible plan from United healthcare.

I am so nauseous and have been eating straight carbs for over a week now.. Any healthy lunch/breakfast ideas that would be easy on my stomach?

Any books that you found very helpful to read as expecting parents? We’re just nine weeks along, but would love to start preparing however we can!

Trying to set family expectations and would love thoughts on 2 things. 1. How long after baby will I be ready for visitors beyond our parents? I’m thinking a few weeks. 2. Our 3 grandmothers are 1-3 hour flights away (3 diff places) and cannot travel. When will we be ready to take baby to see them? I’m thinking 4-6 months but that would also be flu/RSV season. Can’t predict the future but family is already talking about trips and I want to set expectations and do what is best for baby. TIA!!

Any dads out here? Wife is 20 weeks pregnant with our first and want to connect and know from fellow dads on how are they coping. How are you helping your partner? Feel I am not doing enough. Except for getting ready with the finances.

Pregnant moms, feel free to provide suggestions on what your partner is doing which you really appreciate. I got the foot massage part covered. 😉

Creating my registry, what are some must haves to put on it! Doing Amazon and Target, thanks for the help in advance.

Hi everyone, have a noob question here. When did you share the pregnancy news with your employer? Not sure when it’s optimal to do that. :)

Anyone with experience with the snoo and any feedback on it? Have a friend that offered to let me borrow hers, so no cost considerations to think about, but have read that it could cause a flat head/other issues and just curious as to what experiences people have actually had with it. Thanks!

Hi folks, need your help! Just found out that we’re pregnant (we were not actively trying so kinda surprised 🙈). What brand prenatal vitamins would you recommend? I’m seeing mixed suggestions on Folic vs. Folate - which one is important?

Please guide me and let me know if there is anything else I need to do at this moment. I’ve contacted my OB as well. I’m so worried. Thanks!

To those who have delivered. Are they still doing photography at the hospital after you deliver?

When did you tell work about your pregnancy?

we had our first ultrasound this afternoon and saw our little gummy bear and his fast beating heart for the first time. I am so amazed 😍😍😍

“I got a baby in my belly!!” 😅💕🐾

Has anyone had a nurse state the assumed sex at 12 week ultrasound? The nurse is fairly sure it's a boy, and I'm wondering how accurate her guess is based on a close look of the genitals. Confirmation won't happen until 20 week appt, too far away!

Did you/would you get booster during pregnancy?

EY leave department hasn’t been the most helpful with the exact details around maternity leave - so just wondering for any EY mamas - how do we initiate getting the two weeks before due date off? Just a doctors note or ??? Thank you!!
