I’m 10 weeks today and haven’t told anyone of our friends til now about the pregnancy. Met a friend today. Her daughter is 8 and she really loves me but can get a little aggressive when things don’t go her way. She was forcing me to stay a little longer but I was tired and hugged her good bye. I was standing on a step and she was on a step above me. She put her hands behind my back and aggressively started to thrust myself towards her. Our abdomen bumped into each other 5-6 times before I (cont)

You are probably fine - babies are very well protected in there, and it would take a lot to damage at this stage of your pregnancy.

However, I would try to set boundaries with your friend’s daughter. 8 is old enough to know better - and you can absolutely tell her “no” when she is being aggressive with you.

at my 12 week ultrasound, I pressed my hands into my stomach a bit to see if I could move the uterus image on the screen.

It surprised me how stable the uterus is inside your abdomen, & how firmly I could press with my hand (starting to feel for kicks) & it would make no difference to baby!

…could stop her. She has never done that before. My husband and I quickly left. But since then I’m worried if the baby is harmed in any way. Like sbs in womb? I have my prenatal appt with doctor tomorrow and I’ll check with her but till then can anyone tell me some experience resulting in everything ok.
Also for future, I’ll probably stay away from her. She’s just a kid and won’t understand so I’ll take care on my own.

Any suggestions on networking in the private finance sector?

Networking is hard enough working from home but I know how important it is to make those connections.
