Second the Gap maternity leggings. I bought 4 pairs and just lived in those

You should definitely ask her what she’ll need for herself and the baby

Large exercise ball from Amazon. (The fancy ones are called birthing balls but they’re exactly the same). It’s a 20$ game changer for back pain during pregnancy

Gift certificate for pregnancy massage, silk pajamas

Anyone else think the What to Expect app is complete garbage??!! Seems like the information about the baby’s development and my body changes don’t cite any scientific sources and seems as though the app’s sole purpose is to get me to buy sponsored products. Is there anything better for us?

Anyone had experience promotion during/after pregnancy? I’m working in a team I love and planning to get pregnant. But last week, my boss quit which throws me to an awkward position. If my boss didn’t quit, I have high chance to get promoted at the end of year. But now, everything is uncertain. If I don’t get promoted this year, I prob won’t next year bc I will take a lot of maternity leave. Need some advice here.

Can I change my insurance from HDHP to a premier plan once my baby is here?

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week. When the case manager asked one mother if she had any concerns she said her only concern was that her kindergarten son with autism loved me so much she was afraid of him being promoted and being out of my room. I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
