Ok ladies real talk - this is my second pregnancy and I’m in the home stretch- just hit 36 weeks - but my hemorrhoids decided to come at me with a vengeance yesterday and it has been awful :( I did not experience this with my first pregnancy (actually ended up getting them after the baby) - I will ask my dr at my appointment tomorrow in terms of management but just curious what others have done/experienced with this issue specially in pregnancy and what has worked. Thank you in advance!!

Also annoying, but remember to do all the things to prevent making them worse — stay hydrated, eat fruit & vegetables, take magnesium, miralax when you need it

Yeah. Same happened to me. It sucked and relief was minimal. They would go away but just come back a few days later. Prep H, witch hazel pads.

So my questions is, I think they are going to offer around 80k but I don’t think their going to be guaranteed bonuses with the offer. Should I negotiate a bonus to the salary or negotiate a higher salary?

Need advice: 30 Weeks and feel like third trimester has been an emotional rollercoaster. Get upset very easily and any small comment made by my husband makes me cry. Tonight I was by myself for dinner and could not stop crying and feeling anxious, scared and alone. I don’t know if this is depression or just hormonal. Has anyone felt like this ever or I should take it more seriously and talk to my provider about it in my next visit?

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week. I don't understand how that's legal since it is so off the calendar of services and crosses calendar years (and insurance coverage), where most costs are incurred at the end of pregnancy with increased visit frequency and delivery.
