This is basically just the coronavirus work bowl

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.

My maternal grandmother recently passed away from COVID-19. This is going to be my mom’s first Mother’s Day without her mom. Any suggestions for a thoughtful, sympathetic gift?

Really worried about my health...want to get examined ASAP but earliest appointment is in two weeks...I don’t know if I can keep all the pressure to myself any longer...

Weve been working with a fertility specialist and finally got pregnant. Week 8 today and found there is no longer a heart beat.

Devastated and trying to recognize it’s a set back not the end. Any love or advise welcome.

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

So far I’ve been through 1 IVF cycle. I have one embryo that is frozen waiting for transfer. My doctor is wanting me to do another round of IVF to back eggs for baby number two down the road. Has anyone been through this? I know of two people around my age that got pregnant naturally with their second baby after IVF. Does anyone know about banking embryos for future use instead of transferring? My insurance doesn’t cover anything so all this of out of pocket.

Welcome to all my fellow travelers. Travel is a great way to open your eyes to the world we live in.

Hey all!!

Ive seen a few posts here where people mentioned going through burnout and then switching jobs. I am experiencing that myself, and currently on leave and working to relax and getting better myself. However, some companies contact me with interesting open roles. My question is, how did you approach the search “after” and what were the factors you valued the highest in the new role search? Id love if anyone could share about those transition experiences too. Thanks!
