I’m sorry - that really sucks. It sounds like you have a lot to discuss with your partner. Ultimately there’s never a perfect time to get pregnant and a have kid.
From a benefits perspective, it might be less of a headache to go forward with your transfer if you’re enrolled through your employer. You should at least be covered through the end of the month before figuring out if you want to do COBRA vs switching over to your partners plan(assuming that’s an option). If you wait and switch you would probably need to get reauthorized for everything with a new plan. That’s obviously only one component of a very complicated situation. Best of luck!

Check if your employers benefits run through the month if that’s a concern.

I would do it. Don’t let D take this joy away from you. You’ll be ok.

I think in most/all states if you’re covered on day one of the month, you’re covered until the end of the month. All the more reason to go ahead and do the transfer this month.

I know it probably doesn’t feel like it now, but you may find in time that being laid off was the best thing that ever happened to you. I know I could not have been the type of mother I wanted to be if I had stayed in consulting. Best of luck.

Yeah I thought they cover the health insurance with the severance package for a while at least

No, don't cancel. Your health insurance is usually still active until end of month (at least this has been the case whenever I left 2 Fortune 500 companies). So any expense you incur until May 31 should be insured. Ask HR (Benefits Team) if they haven't already confirmed in your paperwork or it should be in your Company's Employee Handbook under "separation of employment" or something to that effect.

Hey OP, keeping my fingers crossed for it to work for you 💕All the best and loads of baby dust ✨

I just started with a company as an HR Generalist. Within the 3 weeks of being there, my boss’s boss left, and today I found out my boss gave notice. HR is not valued at the company and it’s disheartening to know I was hired into a mess. I am now actively looking but how do I explain to other employers why I am actively looking and what do I put on my resume? I have never had to deal with this before.

How long after a failed transfer does your stomach and body feel like it’s back to normal? It’s been a little over a week since I got the news that my transfer a few weeks ago didn’t work.
