Can anyone please give me a script for announcing my pregnancy to the partners at my firm as well as asking for paid maternity leave. The firm is small and has no policy but from talking to my friends the standard at the midsize firms in the city is 16 weeks paid so I want to ask for that. Do I ask at the same time that I announce it?

Renegotiating my contract and curious about maternity leave policies at other practices/hospitals. Do you get paid leave? If so how much time off & are you getting full pay? We are a group of about 75 employees, 6 docs with 5 PA’s and only unpaid 12 weeks off.

Hi friends. I am losing my mind. 7 months pregnant and just want to run away to a foreign country. Cannot seem to stop being beyond infuriated at my partner who I love and who loves me. The issue is … everything else. I want him to plan a wknd away. To finish his current project which has had “one day of work” for the last quarter. To not need me to break out every single freaking thing into the tiniest potential tasks with the highest amount of detail

Would you go on an international vacation shortly after a frozen embryo transfer (5-10 days after)? It is looking like my first transfer opportunity will be shortly before a trip I already have planned. I’d rather not wait, and the one time I have been pregnant before I implanted on a international vacation but I don’t know if this is a stupid thing to do? I have a very stressful job so maybe it would be good to be away from work?? Curious what others think.

Extremely saddened by the Parents of grown children post - what do you do if you already know you’re the least favourite child among your siblings? My mom likes my brother and my dad likes my sister. I’m the oldest one and I know they love me but just less. They had me when they were young and very immature. I was also extremely hurt as a kid as my dad cheated on my mom and they fought all the time and almost got a divorce. My dad and I currently aren’t able to keep a conversation. What can I do

I’m a traveling most of the time for work.When I’m home like once every other week I feel totally disconnected with my kid and feel he too feels the same.Any-strategies to reverse this alienation 😳😳

How soon after maternity leave can you switch jobs without it being…rude? For context, I was eye-ing other positions but then got pregnant and now I feel like I should stick around through my awesome 16 week leave. I would return to work next spring. Would it be appropriate to plan a job change in summer 2023?

For anyone who has implemented some form of leave for miscarriage during pregnancy, have you had to navigate the debate of how much time to grant a colleague who loses a baby, versus a colleague who loses a spouse (i.e how your pregnancy loss policy stacks up against compassionate leave)? Keen to know how senior leaders respond to the movement for granting sometime 2 or more weeks off for losing a baby, where their standard compassionate leave may be e.g 1 week. Thanks!

I wanted kids since I was 9 & my stepdad was horrible & I decided one day Ill be a dad & make my kids happy & help them succeed unlike my dad. It was my motivation to keep living, to succeed so I can one day pay for my kids college, to learn, explore, and adventure to teach my kids and grandkids. Was excited by the idea of my kids carrying my values & DNA after Im gone. Its kinda been the meaning of life for me... Got married. Finally time. Now my wife maybe can't get pregnant. Fertility issues.

My Arab dad is such a meme. He sends me pregnant man 🫃 emoji to tell me he has eaten too much or he is too full. Hahahaa

I’m about to accept an offer with a small/new firm who are still developing their benefits package. They haven’t mentioned a maternity package but I’m scared to ask in case it causes any issues for me. Truth be told I’m not entirely sure I want kids but I’m at that age where it’s important to know. How do I go about asking them without spooking them? (I hate that I even have to ask this)

When’s the best time to let your employer know you’re pregnant?

Anyone else have a parent who blatantly favors their most irresponsible, underachieving child? I earned a scholarship and worked through college, didn't receive more than a few thousand dollars from my parent during college and grad school. Sibling loses scholarship due to too much partying, so parent pays most expenses and tuition so sibling can continue to party and not get a job. Sibling almost fails out of grad school, but barely lands a job. Parent is now buying sibling new car.

I am WFH and roommate is a nanny with a pit mix dog. Roommate is out working during the day and is tired after work and generally chills/sleeps. She doesn’t really take the dog out on walks, so the dog gets really whiny and hyperactive during the day at home with me. For my own sanity I walk the dog during the day and let her out. But recently my roommate has only been coming home to sleep and let the dog out and refill food/water. Dog misses mom and whines a lot and walks around wanting attn
