Looks like Covid has peaked in India.

Let's take a moment to thank and applaud all Covid warriors!

Got pregnant through Letrazole + Ovidrel IUI and my doctor has me on estrogen 2mg 3 times a day and progesterone 200mg 2 times a day. I’m week 7 and already am or feel huge. I’m so paranoid these hormones are making me gain so much unnecessary weight in my first trimester. I’ve been eating the same and literally none of my pants fit. Will my body readjust when I finally hit week 10 and can hopefully be off both hormones? Any advice here?

I work for a Fortune 500 company, publicly traded. It has no maternity leave, 6 holidays. No sick days (must use PTO). Total of 15 PTO. No summer hours. Is this the worst benefit you see out there? (I also want to add that we are required to go back to the office now even with Covid number increasing)

This is my second pregnancy and my baby is breach at 32 weeks. Feeling nervous after the doc appointment . What are the chances of the baby turning in the last few weeks?

I am so sick if there were a $100 bill outside I wouldn't get out of bed to pick it up. :(

Need some positivity with everything going on. What are the unexpected benefits of this self-quarantine you’re experiencing? I’ll go first:

In times of COVID, has working as a independent consultant been more beneficial or worse for you compared to a having a W2 role?

Anyone successfully intuit when they would go into labor? Please share your experience. I risk jinxing myself into a 42 week pregnancy, but we’re starting to think this baby (our first) might be fully baked and arrive by 39 weeks. Probably just wishful thinking, I know.

Does anyone’s firm offer any benefits related to sustainability or rewards for practicing a sustainable lifestyle?

Salaam. I'm looking for a therapist who understands the consulting lifestyle and Muslims.

Needs to be able to provide virtual sessions and able to provide details for insurance.

Any recommendations?

30/M. I’ve been lifting for years but kind of lost motivation being at a new job, and due to no gym accesss. I have a bench (no barbell) and dumbbells (30, 50, and 90 lbs). Need a routine that I could do 3-4x/week. Any suggestions? Thanks!

My wife and I are trying to have our first baby. She is ovulating this week. We’ve done it twice since she started ovulating this week. Night before last she wanted to and I said I wasn’t up for it. And she said okay. She wanted to again last night and I said I wasn’t up for it. She got really upset and after a long conversation happened, we left it at: “Wife ovulating>whether or not either one of us wants to have sex”. Is this normal?

We just said goodbye to a 23 year old who died of COVID. Young people are not protected from this, important to remember

This would be my 3rd, but need some input. I am 10 dpo (guess) and I just wiped some reddish brown discharge. It’s like mucus/veiny consistency. I have had cramping pain yesterday and today. I’ve never had implantation bleeding, but could this be that? Baby dust please. It’s been a 4 month journey up until now from getting off the minipill and no positive or af…this is the first sign of anything.

The 🇺🇸 is doing the WORST in the 🌎 with COVID and people actually want 4 more years of this 💩????? Well ok i like wfh so all good.

Richard Edelman came out quickly at the start of Covid-19 with a promise that Edelman would not be letting people go. Surprised he made that promise so early when business is shifting so quickly.

How to deal with overdramatic indian parents? My parents get upset very easily over small things especially when it involves my wife. Btw, she genuinely respects them. Today, my mom got upset about something that happened 2 yrs ago (my wife was in India for a week for some work, and she didn't visit them as she was 3 hrs away from them). I tried talking, but it's hard to convince them to see the brighter side of things. How to deal with this situation? Shall I speak to my wife or stay out it?

Why cant desi parents decide on anything. 😭
