Pregnant mamas, how many of you are abiding to your RTO policies during pregnancy? And if you’re not following it to a tee, have you been given any warnings or are they understanding because you are pregnant? Expecting my 2nd and this pregnancy is definitely taking a bigger toll on me than the 1st one did. Nausea is worse, frequent migraines, fatigue… I just can’t imagine consistently going in 3 days a week. Curious if others experienced more leniency during this period from their employers.

I’m super not into people making pregnancy a disability. If you were at work full time you’d deal with it. Millions of women have. Call in sick if you need to (are you actually doing any work with a migraine? No.) but do not ask for special treatment bc you are reproducing.

Maybe it’s generational and maybe our experiences have just been different. I have had no issues whatsoever getting promoted at work, even after having one baby. I have never felt I am not treated as an equal to my male peers. My performance has spoken for itself and my company treats me well and rewards me. I have also proven I can do my job just as well at home. I am not saying there should be a special rule or treatment for all pregnant women or that it’s a “disability” either. But if I can prevent myself from commuting 90 min there and back so I can take that time to get the extra rest I need during my pregnancy, and also throw up or lie down in the comfort of my home, I’m all for it. I just wanted to hear about others’ experiences and if anyone felt the same as I did. I got a ton more relatable responses to the same post in the Pregnant bowl.

3 days in office may seem “flexible” to those who had their kids pre-pandemic. Esp for those who live very close to their offices too. For us pandemic first time parents, we got used to a certain norm and flexibility, and taking it away has been a very difficult adjustment. I have heard many in my boat voice the same experience.

I have not but my company is not strict. If yours is I would recommend a Dr. note!

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
