Imagine this. You are in PA, pregnant, and vomiting a lot. This affects your work or will affect your work. How do people handle this, or how might you handle this?

Happened to me I’m pregnant with #3, but always have been sick up until week 25 or so. (Diagnosed with HG). I was honest with my teams that I was pregnant and pre-Covid I said I had to work from home to basically be near a toilet . Then Covid happened and kind of worked in my favor with the second and third pregnancies I could still WFH. But I was honest and if I had to take an hour or so to lay down I would and just adjust my work schedule to get what I needed done. I did a lot of work laying down, and I had to go in for fluids via IV to help dehydration where I would work from the chair there. Luckily I’ve been good This pregnancy since week 25 and not vomiting at all (maybe occasionally every couple weeks). Honestly is the best policy I think when it comes to this and just adjust your workload with your team or even work hours.

Thank you. I am quite transparent, so I can do that. Thank you for the advice!

I have a coworker who keeps spouting comparative odds and situations in regards to the safety of the vaccine. Such as: you're twice as likely to get hit by lightening than have blod clots from JJ. It's very annoying and I find it to be really inapprorpriate, maybe because it's pushy or just I find these comparative things to be a bit irrelevant. How does one handle something like that? Can you shut the person down without starting a spat?

Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle. I tend to just like the way a man smells (not body odor but just natural scent) and don’t usually like it covered up, but wow this guy tonight 🥵 I might might buy some but i figured it would be gay to ask him “what are you wearing” because that prob isn’t something the bros at the gym do.

Hey small agency friends with kids! Quick question. Our agency’s family health care is expensive (ranges from $1700/mon with normal deductible to $1100/mon with super high deductible).

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week. I don't understand how that's legal since it is so off the calendar of services and crosses calendar years (and insurance coverage), where most costs are incurred at the end of pregnancy with increased visit frequency and delivery.
