I’d love to hear from other moms who’ve been in this situation.

I just got a promotion that my manager really fought for, even with hiring freezes and budget cuts. I’m grateful, but my husband and I are also trying for baby #2. Part of me worries how it’ll look if I get pregnant soon after starting this new role.

I know family comes first and I shouldn’t overthink it, but I’m curious how others handled this or thoughts!!

It could be a year or more before that baby arrives. Don’t stress, lean into the new job and focus on what you can control.

I was promoted 2 months after a miscarriage (that my boss knew about), and I was promoted 1 month prior to giving birth.
Your body doesn’t wait to be in the perfect place at the perfect time. It looks normal to be pregnant wherever, whenever. You need to be unapologetic as a woman in the corporate world.

If your manager fought that hard, they believe in you and think you are worthy of the promotion. Getting pregnant should not change any of that. Just keep carrying on and good luck with baby #2!

I was promoted 3 months before giving birth, about 11 months after I started at a brand new company. Don’t overthink this - you earned the promotion and there was a business need, and you would be in the new role for almost a year at the earliest.

Men wouldn’t give this a second thought! Your career is 30-40 years long and there will be lots of changes that you navigate over the years. To me it’s more about how you navigate these changes and less about the exact timing of them.

If I accept the promotion to Partner/Principal what's the least number of years I could work without it being a financial mistake. I have an opportunity to do something completely unrelated that's my passion, but I feel like that's the wrong decision when I'm this close.

The other opportunity should still be there for 2-3 years

After you moved in-house, how did you get more comfortable reviewing contracts or counseling on issues you weren’t super familiar with?

I’ve been trying to find CLEs to get up to speed, but I’m wondering if this is generally something that gets more comfortable with time…
