How do you balance your social life during the first trimester? I’m really struggling to attend events (housewarmings, dinner with friends, etc.) because I barely have any energy for work, and in my free time I would rather sleep. Eating also feels like an experiment these days so the fear of going out and not knowing if I will be able to eat or be energized enough to socialize makes me anxious. I don’t want to isolate myself during pregnancy but I just want to spend my free time on the couch

Hi so I need help. I currently work to bring clients into the company i work at for web design, social media management, and brand strategy. I also do this as feeelance on the side, so where do I draw the line between who I refer to the company I work for or who I personally do freelance for? I don’t want to short out the company I work for but also love freelance and am more than capable of the work.

I was on a partner/manager call today and they were discussing the “high” turnover at the senior and experienced associate level. What was shocking is that while ours is about double normal, evidently we are 3 out of 4 in turnover meaning 2 of the Big 4 are even higher.

Hello Everyone!

I very recently accepted the position of Sourcing Specialist at TidalHealth - a large Heathcare group in my area. A few of my target positions include Social Workers and Therapists. If those in this group can provide me knowledge on what you are looking for in employment offers, salary expectations, the ideal work environment, and any/all factors that would help me in my quest to improve my work ability.

I appreciate any and all responses!

Kind regards,

How many therapists (and social workers too!) see a therapist themselves? Do you find it helpful?
I think there's this myth that therapists have all their own sh*t figured out, and for me at least I know that's far from true (hopefully it isn't just me). On the contrary, I think we should be leading by example!

Big Ass Fan - Haiku - has anyone purchased these and can recommend it over other ceiling fans?

About to close on a house soon, and looking to smart automate a lot in the house with fully integrated devices - but at over $1K a pop these things aren’t the cheapest but I’m convinced we’d get a lot of use out of these.

Anyone with experience with the snoo and any feedback on it? Have a friend that offered to let me borrow hers, so no cost considerations to think about, but have read that it could cause a flat head/other issues and just curious as to what experiences people have actually had with it. Thanks!

How much did you all pay for the 20 week ultrasound out of pocket? My 12 week ultrasound cost me $600 so I am guessing the 20 week one would be even more expensive. I have the high deductible plan from United healthcare.

Going through a miscarriage at the moment. Was 5 weeks-ish in and did three days of HIIT workout and here I am. I’m young so not that sad but I just hope I don’t have to get the D&C surgery. :(

Looking for push gift suggestions.

To those who have delivered. Are they still doing photography at the hospital after you deliver?

Was there a specific point where all this became real for you all? I’m almost 6 weeks and have only had mild symptoms and wondering when it will finally hit for me.

Anyone else struggling with hormones / mood swings? I am almost 16 weeks and been having a real tough time lately, feeling really down and stressed about things. Sadly, causing tension between me and my partner as well as he cannot relate and seems preoccupied with business as usual. Trying to get out the funk and just telling myself it’s all the hormones.

we had our first ultrasound this afternoon and saw our little gummy bear and his fast beating heart for the first time. I am so amazed 😍😍😍

“I got a baby in my belly!!” 😅💕🐾

Hi folks, need your help! Just found out that we’re pregnant (we were not actively trying so kinda surprised 🙈). What brand prenatal vitamins would you recommend? I’m seeing mixed suggestions on Folic vs. Folate - which one is important?

Please guide me and let me know if there is anything else I need to do at this moment. I’ve contacted my OB as well. I’m so worried. Thanks!

I’m around 21 weeks and have been dealing with a lot of leg, tailbone, back, and general muscle pain.

Currently I’m switching every hour or so between my kneeling chair and standing.

Currently 16 weeks with an inconsistent bump. Sometimes is noticeable and other times it’s not, anyone experienced this? Currently it went back to almost non existent and am worried

anyone else feels stuck at current job, but not able to apply due to upcoming paid maternity leave benefits that you don't want to miss out on? currently still in first trimester !

Trying to set family expectations and would love thoughts on 2 things. 1. How long after baby will I be ready for visitors beyond our parents? I’m thinking a few weeks. 2. Our 3 grandmothers are 1-3 hour flights away (3 diff places) and cannot travel. When will we be ready to take baby to see them? I’m thinking 4-6 months but that would also be flu/RSV season. Can’t predict the future but family is already talking about trips and I want to set expectations and do what is best for baby. TIA!!

Anyone taken the GD test after having covid recently? I have my test in 10 days and I'm currently recovering from covid.
