Hey all,

My baby is measuring very big but doesn't seem to be coming on her own, so doctor wants to induce around my due date (I'm 39 weeks pregnant now).

Any risk factors I should take into consideration? Things I should make sure to bring up with my doctor ahead of time? This is my first baby.

What are some of the normal FSH, HCG and Estradiol and AFC levels in non-pregnant females... (we are TTC)

Need quick (10-20 min) mid-day exercise recommendations. I don’t need to lose any weight, just really need to get my body moving and would love something that helps build some strength. The only time I can really do it with new baby and work is lunch time so it also can’t be TOO sweaty. Recommendations on videos, guides, etc to help me establish some type of daily exercise routine? TIA!

I'm very seriously considering going back to school, specifically for nursing. Are there any adult learners here that can tell me about how to afford school, living expenses and child care? I'm starting to get discouraged at the thought this may not even be a possibility.

I'm pregnant - 6 months into Big4 as Tax Associate.

Any suggestions on how to stay & make it work or finding another place?

This is my 9th year teaching. The biggest change I have noticed is parent support. It’s gone from, “I’ll handle it,” to “Not my child.” It’s only been 9 years. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it widespread enough to be a cultural shift?

I submitted my resignation yesterday after much internal conflict. Work has become a toxic environment and I’m 6months pregnant, need to focus on myself rather than all the extreme stress and pressure. It’s been so challenging that I’ve missed doctor appts, only been eating 1 meal a day, getting few hours of sleep. Now I can enjoy the next few months with my son before the new baby comes. Then I need to figure out my next move! Ideas? Looking to get out of patient care administration

I just found out today that I have PCOS. Anyone of you have it and still managed to get pregnant? How did you do it? I am feeling pretty deflated about this.

Question on to-do lists (and time management I guess)! I have a never ending to-do list on my phone for things related to household and kids. Some are “urgent” - kid needs a backpack for school; kid needs gear for soccer; schedule doctor’s appts. Those things get done. Things that I can plan ahead for - birthday presents, Halloween costumes - those get done as early as I can. But all the non-urgent things (and these are things I DO want enough to not just delete them and move on)…(cont.)

How much TV time do you give to your 4 - 12 month old baby? I am concerned they are having to much sedentary TV viewing time - what has been your experience as parents?

When did you tell work you were pregnant? 12 weeks and not super sick so no urgent reason other than to get it out in the open...

Did anyone here deliver a 10 pound baby? If yes, can you please share your childbirth experience and what you ended up going with?
Doctor told me I’m on track to deliver a 10 pound baby and I’m terrified, I passed the 3 hour glucose test but they’re going to test me again due to the size of the baby.

Got a baby shower group gift email (addressed to 20+ people) for a coworker who I hardly know. I want to contribute something - would $10 sound insulting? Just wondering if better not to contribute at all than to insult. Or is there a suggested dollar amount for those occasions?

I am dealing with depression and anxiety due to upcoming criminal charges against my father and his partner (im the one pressing charges), a DOR diagnosis (I am single, 33 and AMH of 0.23 with no contributing lifestyle factors), a failed first egg freezing cycle, and fear of losing my job due to being on the bench for nearly 3mos. I don’t know what to do and am feeling increasingly desperate. (cont’)

Do I have any options here. Took on a new job- asked hiring manager and hr multiple times to confirm my new hours they said 830-5 and occasional late fri check out which was like once a month. I’m now doing multiple calls outside of that, and for April- may I need to do hk/India daily stand ups and my vp told me the only time that works for both is 11 pm or 4 am. Daily. Can I quit and fight to get unemployment for being fired . This has become a my health issue.

In mid 40s, recommendation to have 401k portfolio. I have vanguard with only 155k as I started 401k few years back..

There's a misconception among attroneys that I never understood. To a point hard work will bring success but if you can't bring in business then you have nothing to work hard on. You eventually have to kill your own food. Why do people not understand this.

Asking for a friend (really). I don’t know what advice to give her. She started a job that pays great and is 100% remote. The work is meh, and her boss turned out to be horrible. She asked all the tough questions in her interviews because she didn’t want to work for another bad boss.
Now she’s afraid to leave because 1. How can you figure out the temperament of you boss if everyone likely lies? 2. Can she leave after only a couple months without it looking like she’s flakey?

Hi everyone.. I am a UI developer 6 YOE in angular. How much package should I expect from Nagarro.

After clerking, my BF recently accepted an offer from and joined a V50 firm (been there a few weeks). Shortly before his start date, he heard back from a V5 firm (one he’s wanted to join for a while) and just got an even better offer. Practice groups at each firm are also different.

The office he joined for the V50 firm is in City A. The office for the V5 firm is in City B (where V50 firm also has an office).

How should he break the news to the V50 firm to minimize reputational risk, etc.?
