I’m 6 months pregnant and work in high volume litigation. I’m noticing increased kicks and movement throughout the day when my heart races in response to anxiety-triggering emails or while I’m drafting something with limited time. Worried how this will impact my baby in the long run as I have many tight deadlines ahead before maternity leave. Anyone in litigation successfully seek workload accommodations in the last few months of pregnancy?

Yes, I sought an accommodation to lessen my workload and also requested to be less forward facing in potentially tense situations such as oral argument or a deposition I knew would be particularly contentious. Everyone was fine with it until unfortunately they weren’t, but after a loss my baby came first and I didn’t care. Just put everything in writing!

Of course! Pregnancy brain is real. Even once you give birth - it took me months for my memory to get back to where it was and I’m 6months pp now and still not 100%. You and baby come first, period! Congratulations BTW 💗

I am not in litigation. I am in corporate world. I worked from home almost my entire pregnancy due to the pregnancy complications. I provided doctors note requesting accommodations.

You shouldnt be working where you work and you should be following your instinct because that the only way how God communicates to people; he uses our instinct
If your got feeling is telling you ; stop working ,this is not good for the baby so stop working
You will never be pregnant with that baby again but you could find a similar job in the future once your baby goes to school
Be a mother
Take this time and enjoy it
And take my advice,because I wish I had someone like me to advise me that when I wa pregnant
My child is 14 years old and I'm paying a big price for not listening to my internal voice when I should have

My father took a home loan, and the same home is kept as mortgage.
I'm paying arround 22k emi for the same but unable to exempt tax as the loan is on my father's name.

I googled a lot how to transfer it but neither gift deed nor sale deed would work as the property is on mortgage that's under bank's ownership (until loan is fulfilled).
Tax is also getting deducted, I'm paying hefty emis.
What can I do?
Please advise 🙂
