Pregnant with third baby! Does anyone have experience switching jobs while pregnant? Got a dream job and would still qualify for leave at new company (and they know I’m pregnant) but still feel like it’s a bit insane to switch while pregnant! Looking for advice, encouragement, and downsides, especially if you have done this before!

Not insane at all. Don’t put life on hold.
I switched jobs at 13 weeks even though I wasn’t sure if I’d qualify for maternity leave. The previous job was causing me serious anxiety. It turned out to be a great decision and the company changed their policy for me so I got full maternity leave. I told them around 24 weeks pregnant.

I did it and I love the new company I’m working it. If you think the people are good and the company culture is great then do it, you might regret not taking the dream job otherwise.

JPMorgan Chase Did a first round interview for a senior level position at JP Morgan.. hiring manager said I should receive a call back within a couple of weeks.. been over a month.. no intimation post that.. the HR in charge of hiring or scheduling haven’t replied to my emails on what comes next and haven’t scheduled anything. So should I consider this as a dead end ? Does this generally happen at JP? Feels weird that I have been ghosted after what I felt was a very good interview.. Was a good fit too.JPMorgan Chase

Can’t predict the future but family is already talking about trips and I want to set expectations and do what is best for baby. TIA!!

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!
