I had *just* gotten back into running (2 weeks) when I found out I’m pregnant! Great news, but would you keep running? Doctor says it’s up to me.

Anyone feel stimulants make you talk more? And like overfocus on a meeting that you’ve been speaking about a 5min topic for 20m then you have 10m to discuss 25m of stuff?

I had a problem concentrating on one task, reading for more than 5 mins, and just staying on track overall with work. I was okay in college, but I did poorly in law school bc of the my inability to focus and I started to feel that way since becoming licensed. I took a vyvanse yesterday and my productivity increased ten fold. I’ve always wanted to avoid medication and did so, but I feel like I need to look into getting prescribed. Has anyone had similar experience? I know, big topic w/ lawyers.

How to get started on vitamins? I am a woman in late 20s and feel like I really need to get on one now. I have just bought a box of ‘hair, skin and nails’ from Walmart based on a friend’s suggestion, but I have a strong feeling that it’s not going to be sufficient for daily vitamin needs.

My husband is an alcoholic and it’s getting worse with the holidays. He’s started every day drinking high alcohol-content IPAs as early as 8am. And he drinks them all day and all night like soda. He did AA when he was younger but is now vehemently against it. He is high-functioning. Has a PhD from MIT and works for a venture capitalist firm. I wondered how he gets through the day, but he started to come home early (mid-afternoon) and immediately open a beer while working. What should I do?

Hi y’all,
I shared an intermediate workout program (Back/Legs/Arms&Shoulders/Leg/Chest split) with a few friends the other day and figured I could also share it with others if interested.

It’s a program I follow outside of my 12-16 training block preps, and if anyone wants, I can share it with them. It’s for strength training.

Also happy to explain what any of the exercises are if someone wants the workouts and doesn’t know the benefit or how to do them.

Feel free to DM me about it

Cheers

Today Pfizer announced that trials show that their vaccine is 100% effective for teens ages 12-15. Do you think most of our students will get it for next year?

What are your favorite social media accounts/profiles for the ADHD community?

Which PMP course do you recommend? One of my employees wants to get a PMP certification and I’m willing to use part of our development budget to pay for it. She’s open to on-demand, DIY classes or live classes. I want to make sure the course we choose is good value. Is there a specific one you really like? I’ve done some research on my own but a lot of them seem so similar that it’s hard to choose!

Does anyone else feel like what we do is as irrelevant as it has ever been?

How do you assess your client time as billable or non-billable? We are currently reviewing our time card process and want to better establish groundwork for differentiating between the two. Further to that, do you have your time members log their time and categorize it as Billable/Non-Billable upon submission? or does the Account Manager review submitted time cards and assign each based on the work being logged?

What's the number one barrier stopping more Black attorneys and associates from joining or succeeding in big law?

Need guidance. 6YOE (27M) in consulting basically doing dashbboarding (Tableau) and fancy excel models (data translation) for clients. I realized recently that I love the analytics/data science concepts more and want to be an SME in this space. However, my technical know-how is limited (basic SQL and Python) and I want to pursue an advanced degree to fill this gap. Question: Is it too late for me to get into this space (I noticed most data scientists are relatively young)?

I’ve been a club performing rep for years at a SaaS company…but as an enterprise account exec… my average deal size is around $75k in annual recurring, quota of $1M. This is inline for my company but low when I speak with others for Enterprise rep openings. Any thoughts on recommendations for steps to bridge that gap?

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

How do you manage to work for very long hours ?

I have just started working ..
Each day seems to become longer 😓
It's like work is the only thing I'm doing in life and nothing else.

I don't want to work , yet I can't leave my job due to financial uncertainty

I thought development would be cool ..
But I have to read hundreds of lines of codes written by others which I am not even able to understand.

My biggest fear about going back to the office is how my dog will cope.

Newly pregnant here! Anyone get pregnant right after starting a new job? Nervous about telling my team and needing to take leave within my first year at the new company.

When I was taking a walk earlier, a big dog suddenly ran out of a house and ran straight towards me. I was very scared, so I quickly turned around, and the dog pushed me on my back. I emailed the doctor to see if I should go in for a check. Meanwhile, I am wondering what I can do. The neighbor didn’t say sorry or anything. What is something is wrong and the neighbor should be responsible? Thanks

Best pregnancy pillow? I’m a stomach sleeper and dreading figuring out how to change my sleep lifelong habits.

Here 28 weeks pregnant and tired of hearing you would need to do this for better lactation, you would have sleepless nights. Can a new mother not figure out on her own with the right scientific knowledge ? Is it important to go by what your parents , in-laws or known ones tell you ?

Wow I am so tired. I’m 12, almost 13 weeks and the fatigue has just hit me like a ton of bricks these past few weeks. It’s making it hard to focus or put in effort with work. Normally, this behavior would bother me… but I kind of don’t care? Anyone else relate?

If you stopped driving while pregnant, when and why?

My boss wants be to travel at around 25-26 weeks, and I honestly don’t want to. Last time I traveled it caused some swelling in my feet and other random complications. Boss seems to have no sympathy either. It’s a long 5 hour flight even if it does end up being a smooth trip. Plus, once I’m there lots of extra time in cars and traffic.

How soon after ovulation did you test ?

~6 weeks pregnant (IVF and PGT tested embaby) and spotting again.
First time was last week. I freaked out. Went to doc, they said everything is fine.
A few days later it started again. Very light, brown.
Anyone else experience this? Reason to worry?

Surprise pregnancy after 2 miscarriages, 1 failed IVF, and days before I was to start IVF round 2. I have a trip planned to Greece next week. Is there any reason you would *not* go? I’ll be 5 weeks.

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 😭

TV/ Movies recommendations needed! Was admitted to hospital for ongoing monitoring until the baby is born. We’re looking at anywhere from 1-12 weeks depending on baby. So any recommendations to get to help keep my mind off the scary stuff, would be strongly recommended! TIA!

Has anyone been able to get pregnant/have a healthy pregnancy with mild uterine prolapse?

Random thought. I would describe the tiredness you feel in pregnancy like a heavy stone tied to you that just drags you down and you’re too tired to care or try to fight it.

For me it’s not super constant or frequent but when I get that tired I feel like I become part of my mattress. 😂😴

Venting moment: can we discuss how every symptom is either “you’re miscarrying/dying” or “totally normal pregnancy symptom” and there is no in between? Crazy cramps? Either ectopic/dying or normal because hormones. Sudden horrible back pain? Either miscarriage or totally normal because hormones.
