Has anyone tried to “formally” reduce their hours during pregnancy a few months ahead of maternity leave to try to reduce stress (esp. in a high-risk pregnancy)?

If you formally reduce your hours, note that your pay will also be lower when on your leave. That’s the main reason I opted against this.

Is there a benefit to it being formal vs informal? During my high-risk pregnancy, I met with two partners and the practice group admin and explained I couldn't keep up with the work and my health, and we made a plan to reduce the number of clients amd partners I worked with, so that there were fewer competing deadlines. It resulted in lower hours and a much simpler day-to-day of managing appointments, exhaustion and work. Nothing was formally documented through HR, but we were all in agreement on a plan.

Yes they wouldn’t let me (but before I announced). It may be a reasonable accommodation under the ADA.

Is the CPA designation worth it? For me it would take me 1 year of PREP courses and 2 years of PEP until i can write the CFE. And I am 27 years old right now. Also wondering if it would be crazy to pursue the CPA while learning how to code to be a developer as well?
