Thoughts on an elective c-section? I’m terrified that something will go wrong and I’ll crash into an emergency c with a traumatic birth, or that baby will die in labor (my aunt had a stillborn with cord wrapped around neck), or that I’ll have horrific tearing. Has anyone opted for elective c?

I lost a baby at full term pregnancy (no genetic cause) and we are ready to plan for a second one. I am wanting to go through IVF because the genetic testing would rule out any bad surprises that could come later and also my husband and me are carriers for AMD. I am lost where to even start from. Would I need a referral for IVF? Will I be paying all the cost? My husband’s company has a plan but I don’t know if we would need to qualify?

Home for Christmas. My mom just told me my dad was diagnosed with some rare blood condition last week where your bone marrow stops producing enough new blood cells. More tests later this week, but until then no one else knows and we aren’t talking about it because dad doesn’t want to and they don’t want my grandma to know. Getting stoned in my old room because I don’t know what the fuck else I’m supposed to do right now. Yay!

Any women here struggle with hemmroids after a vaginal birth?

If so, did you see a colorectal surgeon to get them tied or remediated after pregnancy? I am sure they are here because I am pregnant and had them bad on first pregnancy around 32 weeks.

When people say to “be consistent” with workouts, I get that part of it is showing up and putting in the effort. But is the other part sticking with the same type of workout routine or is it ok to mix it up? (Think biking one day, gym another, walk or jog another). Goal is to lose weight and get toned (27 F). With the gym, is it better to stick with the same basic exercises each time or make more diverse workout plans?

Hi all! This is not necessarily an interview tip, more like a what should I do now kind of dilemma. I received an email to complete an in-person interview with a company last Wednesday. I responded via email the following morning with a few times I can go in as requested, specifically a time on Monday. I hadn’t received a response by Friday end of day so I waited to send a follow up email on Sunday. I still haven’t received a response. Do I continue to reach out again or cut my losses?

How does underwriting compare to PIP litigation in terms of flex time (ability to stop/start work throughout day, work at 2 am if needed, etc)

I have been on an SAP Tech Upgrade Project for 7 plus months and I have been miserable. Life isn’t where it should be. Getting emails, calls, and what not over weekends is just upsetting. I am done.

I started searching for work at anther firm. I accepted an offer for the things I am looking for. I am freaking out over the change even though I know moving on is the best thing for me and my family. I feel so anxious. I'm sad for leaving coworkers now friends. I'm sad that the firm I am leaving let me down.
I will keep pushing forward but the anxiety of leaving is overpowering the excitement of new things to come (things I asked 4). My eyes r tearing rt now...what is wrong w/ me?

Got put on a PIP today. I took a leave of absence in the fall and I had to come back early because disability wouldn’t pay out and my divorce a couple years ago left me in debt. I’m the breadwinner, my husband is disabled, and I can’t stop crying. Work gave me no accommodations. My advisor just had boiler plate advisor speak and advice. I wish I could just win the lottery or something. I want out of this life but can’t afford to take a pay cut at all and I feel so stuck.

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

Feeling like shit today. Totally in need of some magic right now. 💔

I'm decently successful, but sometimes I feel so jaded about life
