Hello All! I am about 28 weeks pregnant and really struggling to focus at work due to a variety of pregnancy related reasons - headaches, lack of sleep. I’m easily overwhelmed and frustrated. I feel incompetent even though im not, I just can’t keep up. Its been a hard pregnancy generally. The firm knows and feels like just cares about hours and continues putting pressure on me. Anyone else experiencing the same? Any tips to cope? Thanks!

I manage 2 physician practices and one is extremely toxic. To the point the dr sides with staff even when I am trying to make corrective actions when patient care is in jeopardy. My leadership is aware and knows I am keeping my distance from them. Just doing the necessary work to keep them producing. How do you handle this? It’s been extremely stressful and harmful to my ptsd anxiety and depression.

Welcome! Hope you’re having a healthy pregnancy. Thought I’d get the ball rolling and ask how much time everyone plans on taking for mat leave?

For those of you working from home, do you know whether your coworkers will be throwing a baby shower for you? I feel like without being visibly pregnant to most people (since we are not in the office), I feel like I’m going to miss out on having one which is kind of a bummer since I’ve always gotten gifts for others.

Ladies, I commend all of you who are pregnant and lawyering on the daily! I am 10 weeks pregnant and haven’t been working much since I left my firm in March. I tell my husband every day “IDK how anyone is pregnant and practicing law at the same time.” After a morning in court last month I was totally out of commission for the day. If you are still working as a lawyer full time and growing a human it is something to be proud of!
