Mamas who took a maternity leave…How did you do it? Did you wait until you went into labor or did you schedule a hard date to start your leave? What did you do before you left to prepare your team for your leave? Trying to finish out the last few weeks before my leave starts and I’m a planner and a worrier (if you couldn’t tell 😂)

How many of you are doing back up care/day care/ child care vs managing children at home? What's your thoughts around this, pros and cons?

Recently moved in-house from big law. Does anyone else find in-house a little ... lonely? Maybe it’s because we’re remote now, or because I’m the new kid on the block trying to make friends. Either way, I’m missing the camaraderie I had at my firm.

At what point do you tell your manager you are pregnant? Starting my 1st trimester and I’m struggling

Serious question- how on earth do first time parents pick out things for a registry? Like if you haven’t managed your own child, how do you know if you like this carrier or that? This lounger or that? Do people just trust their closest friend/advisor and mimic their decisions? I’ve spent so much time reading the diff bw strollers (which clearly is the hardest decision) - bloggers, Buying Guides, etc- and my head is going to explode 🤯. Gift cards it is 😆

Hi there! Anyone tried to wean a baby off thumb sucking before 1 y.o.? She only does it in her crib and I would have no problem with it if she didn't have constant eczema on her hands from sucking. I give her pacis instead but she spits them out quickly and doesn't bother looking for them bc her thumb is right there. Any advice?

Sometimes I wish traditional 9- 5 jobs weren’t a thing. By the time I get home I basically
have 3 hours left to eat dinner, take a shower, and get to bed to repeat the process.

I told myself I wasn’t going to do it. Re-assured myself I wasn’t going to do it. Told myself you’d know what would happen and still ended up gambling away a bunch of money I know I couldn’t blow. I don’t understand.

Need your advice on how to work full time with terrible pregnancy symptoms. I'm about 8 weeks along (2nd pregnancy) and the morning sickness hit hard. Threw up last night and can't keep any food down today. With my first pregnancy I threw up for the whole 9 months and had to be on nausea meds. So I'm afraid it will be loke this again this time.. Other moms who have/had difficult pregnancies, how do you still work full time and stay productive/focused at work??

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and have thrown up every day the past two weeks. I know it will peak over the next few weeks and hopefully will get better after that but working is so hard when I feel like this. Any words of encouragement or advice to help get through this if you dealt with this?

Has anyone here ever gotten a liquid facelift? I’ve never gotten anything before so I’m curious whether this is too aggressive to start with. If you got one, what did it cost? How much upkeep?

Ladies who use the steamer bags for cleaning pumps… what’s your process? You have to still clean with soap and water beforehand? The bag is so hot you need to use mittens? Trying to figure out the easiest way to clean in office without making a scene. Something about the wipes makes me feel like I’d still need to rinse it. Both of these seem to defeat the purpose of having less steps imo. And how do you dry them? I’m used to just soaking in a soapy tub, scrubbing, then hang drying at home. Sigh.

Anyone have advice on reviving a marriage that hasn't gotten any attention for too many years because kids and work come first?
My husband and I are pretty good co-parents, which is great, but he isn't very responsive to my attempts to make time for romance, & the relationship has died down after 19 years. (Sex is good but the emotional connection isn't.) Last kid at home graduates in 5 years, and we may become one of those couples that divorces after the kids leave the nest.

Do any moms have advice? It’s been a long time that I have been feeling unhappy….annoyed easily, waves of sadness, not feeling enough, low energy, and trouble sleeping among other things. I don’t have a diagnosis but I think I may be depressed. I just started seeing a therapist last week and since I started to have slight panic attacks? It was really scary, I was overcome with a sense of loneliness and I didn’t want to be in my head….I had to tell myself that I was okay and everything (cont.)
