I don’t know if this going to help at all but I’ll try. My aunt took five years to get pregnant and this is the advice she gave me with dealing with pregnancy. She believes strongly that we can control a lot of what happens through our energy. And so with that she said that I should try as much as possible to have positive energy and not put any of my energy into worrying. It personally has helped a lot for me to have this mindset. At the end of the day, we are kind of out of control and it’s not worth worrying about an unknown

How far along are you? Did you get your first scan? If yes, you saw heartbeat?

Assuming it’s your first, the kicks and rolls are just about to start. May be your are already having some quickening but it takes time to realize that it’s the baby and not just some gas bubbles.
For me when the movements started, it was all the confirmation I needed everyday that things were okay.

Prozac helps me. I literally couldn’t survive the panic. I started it in week 10 and am now week 23. It took the edge off at first but now reached full efficacy and I actually don’t get to that point. I had my anatomy scan that I was waiting with bated breath for since finding out I was pregnant, and it’s 4 weeks til my next scan (so next week) and I’m literally 90% fine. Normally by 1 week after scan I was just like ‘baby is dead’. I even felt a lot of quickening for a week and then nothing for 2 weeks and didn’t get to that point of panic that I had prior. I’m just, with the help of Prozac, starting to realize that I am going to be anxious no matter what but so far everything has been okay each time so I just need to keep on keeping on.
It’s normal thoughts and feelings btw, but no reason to have to suffer to that level.

I've completed the final rounds for 2 companies: AWS as an L7 Principal PMT and another that's a Series-A funded startup in the HCM space. I expect offers from both: AWS around $400k TC ($250k base + $150k stock) and the startup should be around $300k TC ($250k base + 20% bonus). If comp wasn't the ONLY consideration, what would you do? The AWS role will be an IC role and more hands-on/technical. The startup will be a CPO role reporting to the CEO with a team of about 50 devs+PMs.

Neither my husband nor I are good with change and when my husband and I went for the ultrasound he nervously asked "she's too sick to eat anything other than her vitamins and water, is it ok for her and the baby to go without?" Our doctor just smiled and replied "don't worry, baby takes" I don't know why but that was so funny to us. It kind of became our mantra as we navigate and move our life around that "baby takes," its made it feel more Us vs Change rather than Me vs Him. Thought I'd share

Our baby is due soon so we’ve made the decision that we will only have visits from vaccinated family members (not realizing it would be an issue) only to find out that my Dad will never be getting vaccinated, planned to lie about it AND asked other family members lie to us about his vaccination status too… when we found out and asked him about it, he started to FREAK out. Now I’m questioning if we’re being unreasonable… how have you guys been handling unvaccinated people meeting your newborns??
