The book “expecting better” what’s the consensus on it?

I wouldn't use it as the basis of your decisions. More important is a doctor that you trust and have open communication. I felt like the book had this tone of we know better than your doctor, the data may be right but at the end of the day the book doesn't know you're circumstances. If you don't trust your doctors advice, time to find a new one

I liked it. I still don’t drink alcohol while pregnant though

Love it. Helps sift science from wivestales. Demystifies a lot of the overhyped issues.

Loved it. Not a stand-alone though, you still need something like What To Expect to explain the weeks, FAQs, etc.

I liked it- it’s not the Bible and I still ran everything past my doctor but it helps you ask a lot of questions you otherwise might not have asked.

Looking for advice! I’ve been in the banking for approximately 10 years in risk/Compliance. I left my role several months ago and I’m having trouble landing a job in the banking sector. Hiring managers say the interviews went great but then crickets. I am feeling that this is no longer for me. Would a career coach help me pivot to another career. I keep falling back to what I know and it’s no longer working. Thanks!

Recently, our client has decided to retract their job offer to a newly hired candidate who is currently rendering his notice period and is already on his last day with his current employer. This is because they have changes internally that have affected the new hiring. I really feel frustrated, guilty, and awful for the candidate. We are already down to the final steps of the onboarding process and should have been his first day next week. (Cont.)

My Obgyn is offering weekly classes that range from “childbirth” to “infant cpr” and mom/dad “meet and greets”.

The recommended curriculum is about 20-30 hours in total over 2-3 months which is a time commitment. Thank you!

I’ve also been choking a lot recently not sure if related. Anyone else or am I just weird?
