I am going back to work tomorrow after a 6 month maternity break. The guilt is just killing me. Does it ever stop, does it get easier?

Best place to work as a Mom? I’m looking to change jobs now, and hoping to get pregnant in 2-3 years. So I don’t want to take a job that is bad for parenting.

Paternity leave as per Accenture policy?

How old were you when you had your first child?

I'm pregnant and have asthma. I've opted to stay home without pay instead of working the floor during COVID. I feel so bad for my coworkers!

Found out I’m 7-8 weeks pregnant. I’m on a high visibility project and my role is critical. I work with very senior execs and my due date is 2 months before go live. Should I make the project leadership aware and be transparent so that they can start planning and/or look for a backfill? (I just started the project a month back)

Out of curiosity, is anyone else a single parent on here? I have 50/50 custody, but with all the school activities, on my nights alone I am making up time and working. Leaves little time for personal me time, let alone dating. At this point in my career, it’s not easy to just “coast” and a nanny is not an option. Anyone else in the same boat? Haven’t seen as many single parent executive women around.

Deciding between a Blue Shield PPO and a Kaiser HMO. Any thoughts of each network in LA? I am pretty healthy in my early 30s but may get pregnant in a year or so. Thanks!

I have a counselor that always calls a meeting when a kid complains. She doesn’t take time to talk to me about it, and I’m always in meetings. The kids are empowered here.

An in-law is in a failing marriage. Her spouse has been extremely crude to her and her kid for several years now to the point where she feels hopeless in getting the love feels she wants and is miserable.

My wife had the idea of me showing the in-law type of love I’ve shown to her (my wife), because she claims the in-law has appreciated what I’ve done for her so far (I haven’t heard such appreciation, however) and the in-law could really use the boost to her self-worth and self-esteem.

Ladies do any of you from EY know if we can move to another firm immediately after maternity leave?

So far I’ve been through 1 IVF cycle. I have one embryo that is frozen waiting for transfer. My doctor is wanting me to do another round of IVF to back eggs for baby number two down the road. Has anyone been through this? I know of two people around my age that got pregnant naturally with their second baby after IVF. Does anyone know about banking embryos for future use instead of transferring? My insurance doesn’t cover anything so all this of out of pocket.

What are the best firms for parents in terms of benefits?

Hi ladies, I am nearly at the point where I want to start having kids. However, I have made a career change somewhat recently (about 1.5 years ago) so I am not really experienced in the tech industry. Would having kids be detrimental at this point in my career (is it always detrimental)? Has anyone had experience of having a big career in Tech and being a mum? Any tips or advice?
Note: I do have a very supportive husband but his work is not very flexible necessarily.

My husband got exposed to someone with Covid on Monday night and tested positive on Thursday.
Now my 1 year old has Covid. So close to the vaccine coming out. He started to show symptoms last night. I feel so heartbroken and defeated. I did everything in my power to keep him protected. Didn’t socialize, didn’t take flights etc. He’s running a fever and I have been giving him Tylenol every 4 hrs.
