I’m 26 weeks pregnant and trying to figure out my leave. I live in NJ and work at PwC, any fishes know the policy for NJ and PwC? The leave center has not been much help and I want to plan NOW not like 60 days before. I was told NJ gets two weeks before due date and PwC gives you two weeks as well.

I did a bunch of Celsius energy drinks, nice hair tie and hair clips, nice gel pens, mints and gum, and some kind bars!

Heartfelt cards mean the most!
We gave a set of cookies and hot chocolate packs to both the labor nurses and the post partum nurses
Same! I wrote thank you notes to each provider and nurse, and delivered them myself with a bunch of local gourmet donuts

How was your labor overall? Sorry to highjack this but considering natural labor and interested in how they go for folks
Also had an unmedicated natural birth at birth center. I did prep (breathing, positions, some perineum massages, affirmations, LOTS of prayer) and learned how to endure the labor pain although it was very fast for me. I woke up at midnight with the back pain/contractions and bloody show, arrived to the center after 4am at 10cm, water broke then 2 pushes later baby was born 5am. Stayed a few extra hours to recooperate and learn the ropes of nursing and changing both baby and my diapers then getting paperwork squared away then we got to go home.
We started at tradl OB because we didnt know we needed to go with midwife earlier in the process but thrn switched over right in time. Overall the appts were so diff, with the time scheduled (10mins vs 45), the education, and the birth plan discussions i am so grateful we switched and was encouraged to do home birth next time considering how quick/smooth everything went. Praying its the same for any other babies we're blessed to have.
