How much have you spent or expect to spend through your pregnancy journey on health care? So inclusive of OB visits, ultrasounds, natural or C section delivery.

Anyone have night terrors? Woke up screaming in another room last 2 nights. Last night on the floor after hallucinating that a laser was going thru my brain b/c I “didn’t take my pill” contd

Anyone use gym pass? What’s your experience like?
Im terminating my active&fit membership and switching over to gympass

I’m doing a FET and might have to travel while taking a shot of progesterone in the backside. How have others been able to travel with needles/ medication? The meds don’t need to be refrigerated - just worried about keeping the meds safe and getting through airplane security.

Moving to Atlanta next week (24, Male). Keen to meet people as I don't know anyone in the city (Covid friendly of course!)

New joiner scrolling through the bowl this morning. Wishing you all a happy healthy safe start to this week!

In the last month I’m 2/3 on major life changes.

Better health after 7 years with hope.

New job potentially making 67% more.

Got rejected by the girl but if anything failed I’m glad it was that.

Good morning! I work in Medicare sales and I’m just getting tired of sales because I have to change these elderly people on their insurance very frequently, and it’s frustrating most of the time. I eventually want to be a Christian counselor and I just stared school but that’ll take awhile to get where I want to be. I just want to be happy right now without taking a major pay cut leaving sales. I’m making 80k now, I don’t need to keep making that but a decent amount while still helping people. 🙏

34 m here. It’s been a week since I noticed red rashes on right side of my back. The doctor mentioned that it could be shingles and now I am on antibiotics. I know that it’s not spreading to other areas. I am curious to know how did I catch this? I had chicken pox when I was a kid.

It is a pain and a major source of anxiety to support LFC. We’re already done for the season and it has been 5 bloody games. 😓

So I’m thinking of taking a pharmacy tech course at my local community college. I already work in healthcare on the admin side (authorizations, front desk etc) & looking to get a certification that’s quick & don’t have to go back to school. How is it being a tech in the hospital setting? What other paths are there for techs? How much can you make? Or are there any other short certifications that would make more money?

Is Planet Fitness a good gym…only attracted due to its low price?

Moving to Philly Nov 1, just signed a lease in Queen Village. Coming from LA where I was part of a volleyball group and had a lot of options at the beach. Suggestions on making friends and being active (while still being respectful of covid rules & health of all)? 36 F

How tough is it to break into a FAANG PM role at mid-level if you have less prestigious experience? I have 10+ YOE in product, but some was at a tiny meh startup that fizzled out, some was in the digital wing of a large old healthcare org, and though my current role is GPM at a “name brand” tech company, it’s on the smaller side. Went to a good-but-not-Ivy school. What qualifications and experience are FAANG companies looking for when hiring mid-level PMs? Can I break in at mid-level from here?

Does anyone in the NY Madison office know if flu shots are being administered tomorrow and where? Not NY based but working from there tomorrow and I know my home office is offering them tomorrow.

So with possibly three vaccines arriving by January, what do we think? When does life return to normal?

When can I complain at the pub on a Friday about a physical meeting that went terribly?

When can I be socially anxious at an award show again?

Anyone considering exiting to a mental health-related startup? (E.g., Modern Health) What are some other similar, hot startups out there? Seems pretty limited, but I might be ignorant 🙃 Thanks!

NWR, but anyone have tips for getting doctors appointments? Can’t even get a PCP. MGH isn’t accepting new patients and said to “check back later.” Can’t even get an appointment for a few months out. Looked at one medical but don’t know if I want to pay another $200 / year

To all the star junior and mid-level associates,
How did you become a go-to associate?

Hi everyone

I'm in a business development role based in Asia. May I get your thoughts/pointers on the CAIA?

I'm aware that the CAIA is not as popular in Asia compared to the CFA. From my knowledge, there are no CAIA holders in my current firm within the Asian region, despite dealing with alternative investments.

Would be happy to hear your thoughts regarding the CAIA, and study tips if you have any!

Got a workday offer letter yesterday. As per that joining is on 11th July, but I can't join on 11th July as my LWD in Accenture is on 30th July. Should I accept offer letter or should I wait for them to change joining date?

Times Square Edition or the New York Edition? I’ve got suite night awards to use as well. Or would you recommend another Marriott hotel?

I have a large dataset and when I filter, I keep getting up pop ups that say “fixed objects will move”. How do I get this to stop?

Does anyone have a simple guide to setting up and linking company profiles in Google My Business, Search Console, Analytics, AdWords and YouTube?

My companies is a mess, with accounts linked to personal gmails, and I would like to centralise it. And hopefully have it talking to each other...

Although I think that's a utopia that doesn't exist!

Thanks

How do directors who are horrible to work with keep getting jobs?

Not sure who’s more excited for “Return to office and normalcy” my manager or the delta variant?

Hi all, I’m trying to help my GF find some work appropriate dresses (she’s a big law associate) that are flattering for a petite a-line frame. She’s got some dresses from MMLaFleur and Of Mercer and looking for some more. We’ve searched easily 50 sites (department stores, mall brands, etc) and have been striking out hard. Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for smaller brands. Looking for anything basically <$500.

I’m traveling to Dubai next month. I see that I need to show my vaccine certificate with a QR code. I got vaccinated last year and only have the physical card not QR code. How do I get the QR code generated?

Anyone at Ritz Battery Park?

She: “Can you remind me to do that on Monday?"

Me: Sets up mtg calendar for Monday telling her to do her job!

I'm leaving accounting. Wasted time and money. I'm leaving for technology. I think I'll make at least as much and I'll sure enjoy it more. Few will hire you in tech until you do a camp so there I go

Best apartments in MDR? Price range is up to 2400 for a studio or one bedroom

Considering how intensely the OB office said I need my blood drawn at exactly 1 hour after glucose drink, would a 4 min blood draw delay skew my results? Not finding any current research.

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.

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!

My “possibly toxic” trait is I don’t want to be helped. We bought our house with my husband and never got a cent from anyone and we furnished it ourselves. Now I’m pregnant i don’t really want gifts. We have already bought 70% for our baby and i just don’t want gifts although fam and friends are keen to gift. Am i petty?

has anyone else experienced an early 2nd tri loss? i feel so lonely and defeated right now after learning the news today. this was our first pregnancy.

Had the baby shower and now I’m planning to send out thank you cards. Are digital/ e-cards a bad look? How would you feel if you got a virtual thank you card? For reference, the shower invites were virtual. TIA!

Hello! I’m only about 4 weeks pregnant, so super early. I am about to go on vacation and thankfully did a quick search on some “dos and donts” for the first trimester. I am v disappointed to see I shouldn’t do saunas and hot tubs as my vacation was really planned to be all relaxation. But it got me thinking, could you all share the most surprising pregnancy do or don’t you’ve encountered? I feel like I just need a master list cause there seem to be so many limitations 😭

Getting induced tomorrow and still don’t have a name for baby girl! We have a polish last name, any ideas?

I’m only 7 weeks and I haven’t been sleeping well for the last 3 weeks. I go to pee every couple hours and I can’t find a comfortable position to sleep. I’m a stomach sleeper and although I’m still able to sleep on my stomach, my boobs are sore and it hurts. Sleeping on my sides is uncomfortable and I’m trying to not sleep on my back. Anyone going through the same thing? Has anything helped? I feel like it’s too early to buy a pregnancy pillow 🥲

Anyone got fever or chills after second vaccine shot ? How did you deal with it? Tylenol?

I'm 18+4 weeks pregnant. I'm worried about weight gain - specifically too little weight. Only gained about 5 lbs in total, and for the last 2 weeks nothing at all.

Any words of advice or encouragement? Worried about baby as I hear not gaining enough weight is way way worse than gaining too much. Or am I making a big deal out of nothing?

In my first trimester, can I get a microneedling with PRP?

Does anyone else have little pulses in their belly? I’m 23w, my provider said it’s just the additional blood flow but it’s just a weird feeling.

Has anyone done CVS or/and Amniocentesis? How painful? Thanks!

I'm not showing yet, but the idea of people touching my belly in the future freaks me out. Is there a way to handle unwanted touching (without being rude)?

Have some Qns:
1. When do people typically do baby showers(what month of the pregnancy)?
2. when are you supposed to share your baby registry?
3. If you opt to do a maternity photoshoot, when is the best time to do it?
4. Are the maternity photos used in the baby shower invites?

First pregnancy and I just feel lost with everything! TIA

Anyone feel avoidant about certain foods? About 6 weeks or so, no nausea or sickness but certain smells I can’t stand (i.e. eggs, steak). I’ve found myself nervous to cook the salmon we just bought because I don’t want to hate the smell and end up wasting it 😭

My diet consists of peanut m&ms and chicken nuggets. Send help 😂

Can anyone summarize the best pregnancy/family benefits offered by deloitte? I’ve been searching on deloitte net but it seems they are all scattered and I can’t help feeling im missing out on information
