Yep! I think mine is from these huge honkers on my chest. I just ordered new bras, hoping it helps.

I had this - agree with SM1 that it was likely the larger boobs and then belly pulling me forward. I think I started to slump more. I tried some stretching to help but it didn’t get better until I delivered. And in fact, my ribs started hurting pretty bad by middle of 3rd trimester. The joys of pregnancy!

Yes! I’ve been going to physical therapy for my back throughout pregnancy and it has worked wonders. Highly recommend for managing the pain

Definitely try some more supportive bras. I actually wear low impact sports bras most days…that’s the only way I can get through the day without my upper back hurting

Thank you!!

Hey all,

My baby is measuring very big but doesn't seem to be coming on her own, so doctor wants to induce around my due date (I'm 39 weeks pregnant now).

Any risk factors I should take into consideration? Things I should make sure to bring up with my doctor ahead of time? This is my first baby.

I'm 16 weeks pregnant (1st time). My office (in NYC) is re-starting back to work in 2 weeks. I previously had an exemption for fertility treatments as exemptions were given for any medical reason. Now there are no more exemptions being given & I would need to request one from my LoB head.

I have a new team whom I have never met & if I don't go back now, I wont see them until Dec. I am boosted but my commute is about an hour including bus ride & a 25 min walk each way. What would you do?

For those who already have a baby - I (36f) just had a baby 6 weeks ago, and my wife (33F) is now back at work (WFH) and I’m still on leave.

The problem is that within an HOUR she has lost all patience with the baby. She gets frustrated so quickly if the baby is crying and will say things like “I’m just going to let her cry since nothing im doing helps” (cont)
