Just found out I’m pregnant (so 3 weeks now), in a month (so I’ll be 7 weeks), I will need to take a 6-hour to speak at a conference. Should I still go for it, considering this is still early stage of pregnancy? This is my first pregnancy so don’t know what to do! Thanks!

I would not travel to a state with strict anti-abortion laws in the event of a worst case scenario. Otherwise, traveling is perfectly safe at this stage.

Yes no concerns at all with travel that early.

So, yes it’s safe to go, and I would plan on it. I flew to a two days orals presentation with my second and pulled it off. However, it’s important to prepare and plan ahead - my first pregnancy I would have *never* been able to as I was diagnosed with HG and was basically bed ridden weeks 7-9.

If I were you, I would make sure there’s lots of opportunity to nap in your schedule, don’t sign up for additional team/conference events beyond the absolute bare minimum (if you feel good enough to attend in the moment, great! But just be prepared to miss it), bring things that will help a nauseous belly, etc.

I traveled and produced a shoot/ was on set at 28w. You can do it!

I definitely had a lot of anxiety in the early days, vs physical symptoms so def include self care time. And take it easy.

Last night I went over to my friends house (she has 2 kids, 2 and 4 yo). She and her husband were asking me about my pregnancy and planning. And were asking what I’ve prepped to date. I’m only 13w2 days so I think it’s way to early for buying stuff, but I did mention we hired a baby nurse for when the baby comes. My friend completely berated me, short of calling me a bad mom already, saying “what is she going to do all day? Don’t you want to bond with your child?”. I’m so upset by this.

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.

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

This was fine the first few nights since it was the weekend, but it can’t keep up. Anyone else experience this and have any recommendations?
