My boss was gone on holiday and on the first day as a stand in my body decided to miscarriage. I was only 7 weeks in but the pain and blood was unreal.
Felt I couldn't take a sick leave.
I am now scared to get pregnant again.

Just take sick leave. If your boss isn’t there, let HR or your boss’s boss know.

Please take care of yourself OP! You should take a sick leave, I am sure your boss will understand.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. Miscarriages are way more common than people tend to think because they’re not talked about (I think about 25% of pregnancies don’t make it past the first trimester). Please try to talk with other women in your life about this, I’m sure you’ll find others have gone through this and can provide you with advice and comfort. From my side, the first few months after it happens may be pretty miserable but you’re incredibly strong and will get through this. I had 3 healthy pregnancies following my initial miscarriage. Sending lots of love your way ❤️❤️❤️

I'm so sorry. My wife miscarried between our first and our second and it was really rough. Give yourself some time to recover physically and mentally. This is absolutely the kind of thing sick leave was intended for.

The next morning it turns out that someone peed in the closet inside of his mom’s purse where she had her now damaged passport and documents. She was furious and the family was shocked, I had no idea how to tell them so I didn’t...

Partners: what would you think if a first year associate tells you she is pregnant? And what advise would you give about telling my partners? It was totally unplanned so now I am scared that this may hurt my career and I would be seen as not being committed to the job. This will be my second kid but we had our first while I was in law school. Most of the partners I am working with have at least two kids but also they are men. No female associates with kids in my office.
