Probably no right answer but a girl can ask. In my early to mid 40s and preggo. I'm walking and started prenatal yoga. So paranoid what its gonna do post birth to my gut. What can I do now to help alleviate some gut damage. I know the older we are we dont bounce back as nicely.

Anyone else build out their home gym? Thanks to EY’s generous fitness fund (which luckily was doubled if your team was picked during the fitness challenge), I was able to build out my ideal home gym at a heavily subsidized price. I love being able to walk 15 steps into my gym and not have to wait to use the power rack or curl bar!

I used to think I had adhd but it turns out I’m bipolar. Just throwing that out there if you’ve never checked.

Feeling tired and also eating more from being sedentary at my laptop all day. I realize that I have so much more energy AND eat less when I am out and about on the weekend/vacation. Any tips to not fight this set back 5/7ths of the week?

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine. Clean clothes are mixed in with dirty, her desk is a disaster, she won’t let go of clothes she’s outgrown, drawers are open with clothes hanging out. A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.

Will any of you be going out of your way to address the social climate of today or even go as far to create a unit or embed it into regular class instruction/ rehearsal? Why or why not?

Currently interviewing at JPMorgan in their CIB division for a associate operations role. Have met with 5 people for two different teams and another person for another team, all of which I believe are 3 total open positions for 3 different teams. Any insight on the interview process or how long it takes or any sort of idea to give me on what I could look for that might help me believe I might get an offer? Checked my online application again recently and still says “In Consideration”

Can any please let me know if there was any joining bonus ?

Started wearing a support belt per my doctors recommendation because I’ve been having pelvic pain. Wore it for the first time today and this baby will not stop moving. Now wondering if I’m choking my baby and maybe she doesn’t like this belt? I haven’t felt the pain I normally feel and no back pain this morning but now I’m feeling bad. I don’t want to have comfort if it’s causing discomfort on my baby. Anyone experienced this?

Any tiny space dwellers out there? I live in a 490 sqft stand alone home. We’re a block from the beach. I’ve been nesting like crazy (getting rid of stuff, ensuring stuff is space saving/multipurpose). We have one bedroom. Anyone else have similar tales to tell? Or am I the only 🤪 one?

I just started with week 6 and no symptoms related to pregnancy until now. No nausea or fatigue, etc. I know it’s normal for some ppl, still worried a bit. My first prenatal visit is scheduled end of this week coz the doctor is not available earlier. Is it late?

Just starting third trimester and my nausea has come back (vomiting multiple times in recent days) - has that happened to anyone else around this time? Normal for 3rd tri?

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 😭😭

Is labor pain really hard? What about the epidural? If that is taken do things get better?

Has anyone gone into 5th month of pregnancy with the baby growing under the belly button? Looks more like a fatty pouch than a baby. Everyone else already has bumps starting from right under the boobs.

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

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??

Having my first appointment tomorrow. I’m 7 weeks and this is our first!! We’re so excited. Anything we should keep in mind, ask, etc for this first appointment? Will we hear a heartbeat? Will they do an ultrasound where we can see the baby? Can’t wait!

34 weeks. Starts being sleepy at 3pm. Thank god I work from home.

Pregnant with my first, due 3rd week of April. My husband has an optional work trip in February for a few days, and asked if I was comfortable with him going. My first reaction was of course, it's still a couple months out from my due date and I'm having a healthy pregnancy so far. Am I under thinking this? Any other considerations I should have?

Those at Deloitte, how are you getting 6 months? 4 months is family leave, is it one month can be short term disability? And then another month is just PTO?

I am driving both me and my husband crazy. We both work from home in a 4 bedroom home pretty decent size. My husband wants to do daycare and id prefer a nanny. Thankfully money isn’t the the concern, it’s more he thinks we’ll be distracted and I am nervous about anti-vax people and rise of polio and whooping cough. We went to a daycare we liked but they did they allowed religious exceptions which makes me uncomfortable. Would love to get feedback.

I have a baby of 15 months. She is very introvert and start crying if any of friends comes to visit. Can any one suggest things what I can do to make my baby extroverted?

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!🙄
