Has anyone in Biglaw lateraled and then gotten pregnant within the first 6 months at the new firm? Really want to move from current longtime firm, which has been struggling to pull any decent work in my practice group, but am planning IVF transfer in December/January. If I had better job security I would just wait to move until after mat leave, but because our group is so slow and has been bad for a while now, there’s a possibility I could be laid off before I get to mat leave.

I would not hesitate to move in this situation. I hope you get pregnant quickly, but you may not, so it’s not clear how long you’ll have to wait.

Also, as someone who has dealt with the stress of being in a slow group while pregnant, it’s incredibly stressful and I hate it and I feel really stuck because at this point I’m visibly pregnant. I just had a bad review and I’m about 5 1/2 months and I legitimately do not know if they are going to try to fire me before maternity leave.

If you’re pregnant six months in you won’t be taking leave until after you’ve been there a year. You’re fine to move.

No I’m pretty sure that if she does an embryo transfer six months after she starts at the job she won’t give birth for a minimum of six months afterwards. Earliest viability is 24 weeks. Anything earlier is a miscarriage and would be classed under regular medical leave.

I had a 34 weeker. I’m aware of preterm birth.

Yes it’s fine to move.

If you want to be a parent, just focus on that. That is a major life decision and you don’t need to base that decision around anything other than what’s right for your family.

Project that it’s a non-issue to your employer (while expressing gratitude for their support) and that will be a self-fulfilling prophesy.
