Officially scared. I’m triple vaccinated (double Moderna, got booster about 2 months ago) and I’m in my third trimester and due in about 8 weeks. Husband and kids all tested positive for COVID and I’m unable to have them quarantine so I’m a sitting duck. Can anyone point me in the direction of information about risks of Covid for triple vaccinated people in third trimester? Or perhaps provide reassurance?

I’ve done dry January and a lot of weight melted off. I was already shooting to keep it going through to March. For super lean people (borderline Instagram models), do you still drink alcohol after your 20s? I remember a male stripper in Vegas told me he only drank a shot of vodka once a year 😂 and that was the extent of his drinking, but he looked great.

Anyone else in here have ADHD?

Does anyone have experience breaking up w a therapist? I've been seeing my therapist for 5+ years for eating disorder treatment and we've been through so much together, but I don't think she's able to help me anymore. While I've stopped my ED behaviors, they've evolved into OCD, and I'm finding that her methods might be making it worse. I think I want to try an OCD expert instead. But I don't know how to end the relationship. Do I just stop going? Do I explain myself? I don't know what to do 🥺

Anyone with a peloton: I don’t have a ton of space to fit it, but wanna get one before the fall/cold weather rush. Can it work in a small room? It’d leave very little space between my bed and wall, but having cardio equipment and little space >>> not being active during winter

Any gym recs in Navy Yard? Living by Nats Stadium so the golds I wanted to stay with is a bit too far

Does anyone else HATE--and I mean that explicitly--their current home city? I'm so embarrassed about living in this dump that I've been stuck in for 6 years. Covid just made it worse without travel

Hey all, I'm a Product Manager 9 months into a Big4 consulting manager role. I've come to the conclusion that although I can succeed in consulting, my preference is to own the roadmap and have a larger influence on the 'what' for a product instead of offering recommendations and executing on another PMs backlog. I've now accepted an offer as PM at a well SaaS product company, where I will have a more hands on role, shaping the product and delivering valuable outcomes. Thoughts welcome! :)

Doordash is making all employees (including Software Engineers/ Execs) deliver 1x a month starting January and will be tracking it as part of performing reviews as part of “WeDash.” Not sure how I feel about this - it’s to make folks understand the overall experience better.

WFH during a heat wave. I’m scared to open my electricity bill this month 😬

Hi…question for CVS workers, how many days of pto a new employee usually gets? Thank you

When we can see pms rating. And mid term feed back.

It always seemed like real estate was one of the safest things to invest in. Then the crash of ‘09 happened, and the market bounced back for a while. And now we’re in… whatever this is. It just seems surreal.

Does anyone know what the base salary is for a JPMorgan Wealth Management – National Branch Financial Advisor?

I recently moved to the area and I heard about ketchup chips. I had some for the first time night, and I have to saw they weren't what I was expecting, lol

I just realized I’ll likely have a MAGI of over $124,000 this year and will have to reduce the amount I contribute to my Roth IRA. I don’t know exactly by how much and I’ve already contributed about $1,900 directly through my Roth IRA. Does anyone know if I can still do a backdoor Roth IRA for the remainder of the $6,000? Is there any way to avoid over-contributing to my Roth IRA by the amount I already put in there?

I just wanna say I love dosa. Thank you. 🥺

What do you do to stay sane / comfortable / distracted in the final month of pregnancy?

Going on maternity leave in a few months and my manager just gave me a new long term assignment. I want to put my best foot forward and help out but I am also exhausted. What to do? I just want to nest in peace.

How did you go about finding in person pregnancy social groups and mommy/baby groups? Are they a thing anymore with COVID?

I’m 9 weeks and I’m beyond exhausted and dehydrated all the time. I drink so much water but still feel dehydrated. Ugh. I can’t stand peeing so much, drinking this much, and still having it not be enoughhhhhh

I have ADHD and executive dysfunction, resulting in horrid eating habits my whole life. My body just doesn’t tell me it is hungry and pre-pregnancy, I could go days without eating. My husband is the same way. I am panicked about staying on top of baby feedings and noticing patterns. The Pocket Nanny tracker where you press the button of the feed, diaper change, etc, seems to be popular but doesn’t log it anywhere. Has anyone heard of these and have a recommendation for one that logs as well?

So I’m 7 weeks 3 days and I haven’t been sick at all. I know I should count myself lucky and not worry at all because it’s normal but I can’t help myself but worry because I feel…normal? I got a handheld ultrasound at week 5 and the doctor saw the gestational sac but nothing else (which apparently is normal at 5 weeks) I have my first real ultrasound in 3 days and I’m so so so nervous. Any reassurance? Anyone else feeling this strange mixed emotions of grateful for feeling fine but also worried

My “possibly toxic” trait is I don’t want to be helped. We bought our house with my husband and never got a cent from anyone and we furnished it ourselves. Now I’m pregnant i don’t really want gifts. We have already bought 70% for our baby and i just don’t want gifts although fam and friends are keen to gift. Am i petty?

Does anyone else feel exhausted? I’m at week 16 now, and I need a nap daily! I remember being slightly tired in first trimester but I feel as if I can’t function right now! It’s definitely worse after lunch/eating. Any tips or tricks please??

Had the craziest experience today at 1st ultrasound. Measured 6w5d (what I should be based on FET) but sonographer told me HR was 87 (low). I was hysterical (had a previous MMC after an initial low HR) and doctor came in and rescanned and said everything looked perfect and HR was 119 BPM! I am trying so hard to take comfort in the second scan but this is so stressful. Please send positive vibes my way 😭😭

Stressing about my gestational diabetes test Tuesday. I have a lot of risk factors and have been feeling horrible lately after feeling not so bad for the last 2 months :/

Any one had covid with mild symptoms while pregnant post 30 weeks? I don't know how I caught it but here I am!!!... synptoms with ear and nose congestion and sore throat and no fever... I am freaking out. Fully vaccinated and boosted.

Thoughts on cord banking in the US? I know it's relatively new and has limited use cases but thinking about how much pain it could save in some life threatening diseases. Which company did you use?

Any ideas for what games we could play with 40-50 people (all ages) for the baby shower & what gifts ($10-20) I can get for winners? TIA :)

Doulas and midwives are not covered by my insurance plan. Is that usually the case? Can anyone share how much on average they spent on doula and/or midwife care?

To those of you resistant to family cars - I’m a sports car driving, fast car loving, low to the ground kind of mom-to-be. (e.g. no back seat, no back doors). Obvi I need to get a new car but what isn’t too large, makes sense for a 3 person family (no more kids coming), while not sacrificing my need for speed and desire for a smaller/low to the ground/well handling ride? So far considering an S4 /S5, 3 or 4 series. Back doors seems to be a requirement for getting in and out of a car seat huh!🙄
