Almost 18 weeks pregnant with no end in sight for fatigue and nausea. This week, my brain has added the stress of who will watch my toddler while I go into labor.

Hi All! For those that have had HSGs/saline sonos done, did it mess up the timing of that cycle?

Thanks in advance for any insights you may have!

Been living in a luxury building for about a year and start noticing that I have a mild cough when I’m in the building.

Anyone experienced anything like that? I’m not going crazy, am I?

We have 5 attorneys (3 partners; 2 associates). Senior associate (who is being promoted to non-equity partner) is pregnant.

We currently cover ee portion and she pays for 100% of dependent cost. Is it reasonable to ask her to write check back to firm for her portion of dependent premiums? Assume she is taking full 4 mos off.
