When is the good time to tell the company that I am 3 months pregnant. My date of joining is 18th of July. I understand by law I need to finish 80days with the company before I avail maternity benefits which I can easily do in next 3 months.
I want to understand if women who go on maternity leave during probation are treated differently or if there will be discrimination once I let them know about my situation. Wipro Accenture Allstate Quantiphi analytics pvt ltd.

Hi everyone,
I have joined Tech M recently, I got hired via a subsidiary called Zen3. Is there any difference or challenges I would face since they should be the same company as per my knowledge. Also the onsite opportunity would be less here? Please give your thoughts.. Thanks 🙏 Tech Mahindra

Simply put, just BE. Be present, be active, be supportive. It goes by so fast. Completely disconnect from work and soak it all in. My youngest is one and i literally wish I could do it all again.
Blessings to you all 🥰 praying all goes well today.
Just disconnect
Why are you even on line

? I’m laying on a hospital cot while my wife naps. I’m playing sleep sounds for her on my phone. The baby is in the NICU but he is coming home with us today. There isn’t much to do but be online.

If you have twins already, you know that once everyone is home and you’re in the thick of it, disconnecting is easy. By the end of next week, work will be a distant memory as you are all-consumed with toddlers and a newborn. Congrats! So fun to have a baby when the weather is turning nice - makes those endless walks more pleasant.
Take your email apps off of your phone. Remove TEAMS. Be in the moment.

Support mom.. (make meals clean take baby in the early am so she can sleep especially if she is bf) she needs you now, so that she can be there for the baby fully, infants need a primary caregiver first year physically and emotionally to thrive. It’s very difficult, brace yourself. First year is very important, best thing you can do for your baby is to support mom make her rested and happy. . Seems easy but with sleep deprivation and anxiety is HARD WORK, so “congratulations, and “enjoy” 😉
Congrats! Delete Outlook and Teams asap. Get books you can read while doing the chill time especially if breastfeeding. Those cluster feeding periods mean you basically don’t do anything but BF all day. I found it helpful to join new mom groups. Had a couple on FB specifically for breastfeeding moms and one at a local parent support center. Just know you are working 24-7 as a new parent and give yourself some grace.

Why are you only taking 3 weeks upfront? I have twins and if we ever ended up having another, my husband is going to be with me all his parental leave upfront. It's not the newborn that terrifies me, it's my 3 year old twin boys... not sure how your twins are but mine are currently in a very crazy place.

My mom is taking the summer off and is living with us, and my MIL just flew in from abroad to live with us for 6 months. So we have support. I’d rather spread it out and use it over time.

Well you have older kids so you know already how fast it goes. You only get the newborn snuggles for a short time. Would you really rather be looking at PowerPoint slides? Put your work computer and phone in the bottom of a drawer and live your actual life.
