Don’t let worrying about work distract from such great news! I think as long as you come back after leave and have your work in good shape for someone to cover during leave, that’s all they can ask for. Don’t stress, pregnancy is hard enough without worrying about things you can’t control

This also happened to me. They were probably upset, but got full parental leave. However, when I came back from parental leave I was told I’m technically behind 🤣 so yeh… but in any case, don’t worry about what they think. Just do what’s best for you

People will always have opinions (good and bad) about your life choices. Find out what your maternity leave options are at the firm and whether you have to negotiate leave since some require you to be there for a year before accessing benefits. Wishing you a safe and healthy pregnancy!

Congrats!! This happened to me too, roughly same class year and timing. I don’t know if anyone was upset; maybe they were but they were gracious and it was all fine. My advice would be to figure out a solid plan for childcare support including backup care so you can transition back smoothly. Oh and take a vacation while you can. ☺️

1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.

Anyone here adopt a puppy during the infertility struggle? Husband and I considering it to have something positive throughout this situation and thinking the extra companionship would be helpful.

Currently going through the hiring process for a role in San Francisco. They told me the starting base was $110K, but this sounds like pennies in a city like San Francisco! I am concerned that if I make it through I’ll basically be poor in such an expensive city, not to mention the taxes. I also have a baby so child care I am sure is expensive. Not sure if it would make sense. Advice?
