Thoughts on asking employer if I can WFH during my 2nd and 3rd trimester? My doc said he could write a note to employer noting that it's my request, but I don't want my employer to frown at this.

For context, I no longer work for Deloitte and haven't informed employer that I'm pregnant yet as I'm still in 1st trimester. I have no real medical reason to WFH other than personal preference and added comfortability. Am I being lame or unreasonable?

Just venting. My husband is so much into watching his tv show that he is not at all interested in planning the baby shower or even in making the registry.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year.
