So I’m 32 weeks. I’m finding it very difficult to breathe and it’s hard to explain. I have normal pregnancy congestion especially at night but throughout the whole day too when I breathe (not congested or through my mouth) it feels like my lungs don’t take in enough oxygen and I don’t feel like I’ve actually taken a breathe, if that makes any sense at all. I’ve also been choking a lot recently not sure if related. Anyone else or am I just weird?

Anyone else feel like they’re constantly overwhelmed just trying to keep up with a normal life? 😐

IVF is such an emotional rollercoaster, and our healthcare system doesn't make it any easy! Just got ripped by pharmacy. They charged 17K for round 1 drugs, which exhausts my 10K pharmacy claim.

Any acupuncturist recommendations in Chicago?

It’s Friday. I am still sick with flu and sore throat. Given that alcohol can kill viruses, I should start chugging down some alcohol soon to kill those damn viruses.

What are some good gyms in the city? I like to do a mix of cardio and strength, a pool would be nice but not a must.

Has anyone been able to extend their cycle or reschedule monitoring appointments? I have a sudden death in the family that I cannot afford missing the funeral for, but it will occur halfway through my stims

Hi y’all,
I shared an intermediate workout program (Back/Legs/Arms&Shoulders/Leg/Chest split) with a few friends the other day and figured I could also share it with others if interested.

It’s a program I follow outside of my 12-16 training block preps, and if anyone wants, I can share it with them. It’s for strength training.

Also happy to explain what any of the exercises are if someone wants the workouts and doesn’t know the benefit or how to do them.

Feel free to DM me about it

Cheers

🐠 fam - looking for recommendations for men’s cross trainers with good ankle support. Any brands or models you particularly like?

Any female 🐠 have tips for getting ready after a morning workout?

Anyone got some ideas for stuff to do between end of current job and start of new one? Feel like covid has sucked my adventure away 🤦‍♀️ and want to do some stuff before things get hectic.

Any recommendations for plastic surgeons in the Charlotte-area? Or any good questions to ask/red flags to look out for?

Does anyone else feel like their social skills went down during the pandemic? My new anxiety makes retail so hard.

Hope both Donald and Melania recovery swiftly. This isn’t good for either side. - Lib

Apple Watch owners…⌚️
Im getting into swimming and I’m like OCD about my watch tracking my workout as accurate as possible (even if it’s not the most accurate 🤷🏻‍♀️). I used the open swim for the first time yesterday and one down is 25 yds but one full lap is 50 yds and regardless I don’t think it tracked my swim accurately. Is there a trick? Lol I input 25 yds as a lap but maybe I needed to put 50? Silly little thing but it’ll drive me crazy haha

How are retail pharmacies regulating vaccine distribution? It doesn’t look like they are requiring any proof/documentation when booking online besides a checkbox

I am hearing people getting symptoms and testing positive for COVID-19 even after self-quarantining for over 2-months. How’s this possible?

I feel like a lot of the discourse about pharmacists lately ignores that we are often just as informed or even more informed about the drugs physicians are handing out than they are. When it comes to the effects of medication we are without a doubt the best informed, period. Why is there this stigma that we want to prevent people from getting what they need?

Going through severe health anxiety right now. I wore expired contacts and my head hurts and it hurts even more cuz I keep thinking about it thinking it’s an aneurysm. My toes and fingers are so sweat

I’ve been having some lower back pain especially after sitting in my office chair. Wondering what brands you recommend

Anyone from Genpact Hyderabad Hafeezpet location?
I just joined Genpact and have some queries.

Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated😊

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?

Someone post the consulting bingo thing please!

What’s been your worst on-boarding experience ever upon starting a new job?

At this point in the game it doesn't make a difference where you at everybody is getting laid off at one point or another the only thing I say is try to repair yourself for it if it happens to you

Spider-Man PS4 is the only thing driving me to the weekend at the moment, anyone else ready?!

Predictions/thoughts on halo infinite?

Can someone refer me to a DS position at their company if they’re hiring? I’m looking for a DS role in tech. YOE: 5+, located in Canada.

My family and I want to move from Florida to the Seattle area in 5 years. My husband is in Aerospace Engineering. We both love nature, hiking, and rock climbing. We prefer cool rain over sunshine, miss seeing the seasons, and love to cook.
Any advice, Pros VS Cons, anything to look out for ?
Thank you in advance!

Wish I got a consortium full ride but I have tons of student loans instead ;(

I’m in real estate tax group and looking for good books about RE fund/investments/accounting during non busy season. Any recommendations? Thanks!

What are people’s experiences or thoughts on a recently promoted manager in MTS making a move to industry, possibly one of the FAANG companies as a manager? Possible or a pipe dream?

Scrolling social media aside, what do folks do with downtime at work?

Here 28 weeks pregnant and tired of hearing you would need to do this for better lactation, you would have sleepless nights. Can a new mother not figure out on her own with the right scientific knowledge ? Is it important to go by what your parents , in-laws or known ones tell you ?

Newly pregnant here! Anyone get pregnant right after starting a new job? Nervous about telling my team and needing to take leave within my first year at the new company.

Wow I am so tired. I’m 12, almost 13 weeks and the fatigue has just hit me like a ton of bricks these past few weeks. It’s making it hard to focus or put in effort with work. Normally, this behavior would bother me… but I kind of don’t care? Anyone else relate?

Any advice on TTC after ectopic pregnancy? Seems like it won’t happen for me. It’s been 7 months

anyone did genetic testing at 11 weeks ?

In my first trimester, can I get a microneedling with PRP?

Do pregnancy weigh ins stress anyone else out? I do prenatal yoga / walk most days and eat mostly healthy, but definitely allow myself to indulge here and there - yet my weight goes up a little more than the recommended range, and I find myself consumed by anxiety that I’m going to ‘get in trouble’ at OB appts

Venting moment: can we discuss how every symptom is either “you’re miscarrying/dying” or “totally normal pregnancy symptom” and there is no in between? Crazy cramps? Either ectopic/dying or normal because hormones. Sudden horrible back pain? Either miscarriage or totally normal because hormones.

My Obgyn is offering weekly classes that range from “childbirth” to “infant cpr” and mom/dad “meet and greets”. Outside of the cpr one which seems important, did anyone attend classes and find them useful? Or did not attend classes and wish they had? The recommended curriculum is about 20-30 hours in total over 2-3 months which is a time commitment. Thank you!

Anyone got fever or chills after second vaccine shot ? How did you deal with it? Tylenol?

When in your pregnancy did you start gaining weight?

When do you typically have your first ultrasound to determine if it's a viable pregnancy? And when did you get your first symptoms? 5 weeks today and I just feel tired. I'm worried but hoping for the best!

Around what week we’re other people able to feel your baby kicking or moving???

Going through a miscarriage at the moment. Was 5 weeks-ish in and did three days of HIIT workout and here I am. I’m young so not that sad but I just hope I don’t have to get the D&C surgery. :(

Please give me remedies for acid reflux. Tums just isn’t cutting it anymore. Did anyone else have really bad acid reflux and do something/eat something/take something besides tums that worked ? Looking for a miracle here. Third trimester and I’m just miserable all around so any relief even just on the acid reflux part would be life changing at this point!!!

At 8 weeks I’m so exhausted that I can barely function or think straight. Taking midday naps, shutting down early, but I have no energy to work beyond the bare minimum, and especially not for house chores. I feel so guilty but I just want to sleep even though there’s so much to do. Help.

Hi folks, need your help! Just found out that we’re pregnant (we were not actively trying so kinda surprised 🙈). What brand prenatal vitamins would you recommend? I’m seeing mixed suggestions on Folic vs. Folate - which one is important?

Please guide me and let me know if there is anything else I need to do at this moment. I’ve contacted my OB as well. I’m so worried. Thanks!

Apparently responding to “What’s your worst pregnancy symptom?” with “People telling me their traumatic birth stories” is an unacceptable answer.

Parents to be: Has anyone not changed their last name and come up with a compromise for naming your kids’ last names? It’s strange to me that the dad’s last name is still the default whether or not the mom took his name. (Apparently I’m in the minority, only 20% of women retain their name) What’s your plan and what’s been your experience? Also very interested in how LGBTQ+ community handles this.

If you stopped driving while pregnant, when and why?
