Ughhhh I feel so nauseous all day every day. I’m 8 weeks today and miserable. I have never felt such a constant unwavering nausea.

Wanted to share some positivity!

I gained 25 lbs throughout 2020 & 2021. In Jan 2022, had a goal to get back in shape.

Beginning in April, after a combo of fasting, intuitive eating, hitting the gym 4-5x/week, going thru a short cutting phase, weight training at 85-100% & slowly building back up to 5k steps daily, I lost 20 lbs in 6 months (end of Sept)!

10/25 check in🙌. What are your workout plans today?

For folks who have had to have a D&E following miscarriage, how long did you wait until trying again? Our OB recommended three cycles...

There seems to be this consensus that there will be a market correction in the next 6 months. While I don’t doubt that the market is overvalued, I’m also expecting the vaccine rollout to accelerate and the Biden stimulus plan. So macro wise, seems like the market should continue to go up in the short term. Why do you think otherwise?

Any thoughts on questions I should ask for a start up possibly wanting to higher me to help lead their substance abuse mental health start up?

Any new parents, did you decide to circumcise your baby boy? Why and why not?

I am conflicted, It’s not required in my culture , No one in my family had done it but looking at some benefits I am not sure if I should get it done for my newborn.

For those of you still doing takeout/delivery, are you at all concerned about exposure to the virus? Between making your food, delivering it/others’ etc. you cannot really know where people have been

Any acupuncturist recommendations in Chicago?

Any ladies here who used to go for waxes regularly, how are you dealing now that everything is closed?

Hello, Does anyone know of any Mental health jobs that can be done remotely? I’ve gotten COVID 2X in the past 6 months and I’m so scared of getting it again I have 9 years experience in the healthcare field and 5 years of Management experience! Thank you in advance!

Just got back from an 8 week scan and there was no heartbeat. Second pregnancy in a row. Not sure how many more times I can do this.

Really love exercise/ lifting but already feel the routine starting to slip with work. Any insight on what works? Looking to go far beyond walking during meetings and having a standing desk lol

Has anyone had trouble finding an ob gyn? I just moved to my area and the recommended ob gyns are fully booked. The first date I can schedule is not until I'm 20+ weeks along. Would you just go to a lower rated ob (taking 2 out of 5 stars on Yelp) the first few weeks and then switch when you are able?

“We treat people like people first here so I want to tell you more about the team” Proceeds to walk me through the team chart, when each person joined, when they got married, when they had kids. End presentation, nothing added - no hobbies, no personality quirks, nothing

What's your top destination for 2022? Do you have any dream travels planned this year? I'm itching for a lot of travel now that things have calmed down a bit.

Booking a trip to Argentina in November for two weeks! What's a good amount of time to spend in Buenos Aires, Patagonia (open to suggestions on where in Patagonia) and Mendoza? Trying to limit the time in airports and maximize the time in each area. Also, are we idiots to not making the trek to Iguazu Falls? If so, which part of the trip would you limit to make it there?
TIA for your help and suggestions!

Is wfh still available in lti?

Do you always wash your hands after petting your dogs? I got a new puppy and am constantly washing hands and trying to be as sanitary as possible. I'm simply to grossed out if I don't especially since I found out my puppy has worms.

Any of the males in this group feeling attacked on here? Disturbing!

Any thoughts on potential tech roles for a human capital management manager?

hi fellow designers! i’m a departing Deloitte GSAPer heading to do a design masters this fall, and looking for an externship for April/May - July. any companies looking for any externs?

Am I the only one who remembers that Goodby produced an award-winning campaign for the NBA in which athletes faces and bodies were split screen and put together? Why is wieden getting so much positivity about their new work which is such a balls out rip off? 

How is life like at "The Many"?

I used to be a special Ed teacher and changed careers to an executive assistant at BMO after facing major burnout from teaching. Now that I’m a first time mom, i really want to work part time or even .75, but I do not want to go back to teaching right now. I am thinking of tutoring- any suggestions on private tutoring vs. tutoring companies?

What withdrawal rights do you use in your model? Is 2% too conservative? 4% too aggressive? Also how does retiring early factor in? Does the traditional 4% assume you are retiring at 65?

I’ve noticed that some silver Rolexes have a bit more luster/sheen than others and I can’t tell if it’s attributable to age, whether they’re SS vs. white gold, or a combination of both. Appreciate any thoughts.

Has anyone successfully negotiated a flexible lease break clause into their rent stabilized lease? Rent stabilized units wont lower rent and aren’t allowed to do month to month. I’d like to resign but only if I have a way out mid way if needed (e.g. give them 30 days notice).

Has anyone here ever been on the receiving end of a PIP? Ie 30 day performance review? What was your experience during that window and leading up to (hopefully) quitting to take another job or getting fired? Do people just ride it out and accept their fate and interview their tails off? Would love to hear how they were treated, what mental toll it had, and how to accept you were getting fired before you got fired? And telling coworkers?

Perspective check:

I'm an SA, and my fiance is finishing up her residency and loves the medical field. I make good money and have a house but I feel like the relationship and the obligations (house, family) are anchors and holding me back from living my life. I want to sell and live on the road, traveling and being free.

I love my fiance and my family but I just want to quit everything and just hit the road.

Am I being dumb?

When in your pregnancy did you start gaining weight?

Anyone else find it weird for their male boss to WhatsApp you asking about how you are (prior to your due date and prior to giving birth)? He has my private WhatsApp because he insisted and I stupidly in hindsight obliged. Just wish I knew how to politely get out of this. I figured I'd email HR like they told me once I gave birth and at some point email him as a courtesy :/ i live in Germany so am already on mat leave hence why he doesn't know yet if I've given birth.

If you stopped driving while pregnant, when and why?

I’m 8 weeks and 5 days and some of my shorts do not fit me around the waist anymore. Is that normal? I thought there shouldn’t be any changes for at least the next 4 weeks. It’s my first. I feel like it’s wayyyyy too early for maternity clothes? What has been your experience?

Has anyone had trouble finding an ob gyn? I just moved to my area and the recommended ob gyns are fully booked. The first date I can schedule is not until I'm 20+ weeks along. Would you just go to a lower rated ob (taking 2 out of 5 stars on Yelp) the first few weeks and then switch when you are able?

Around what week we’re other people able to feel your baby kicking or moving???

When I was taking a walk earlier, a big dog suddenly ran out of a house and ran straight towards me. I was very scared, so I quickly turned around, and the dog pushed me on my back. I emailed the doctor to see if I should go in for a check. Meanwhile, I am wondering what I can do. The neighbor didn’t say sorry or anything. What is something is wrong and the neighbor should be responsible? Thanks

Recommendations for good reads during pregnancy please?

Going through a miscarriage at the moment. Was 5 weeks-ish in and did three days of HIIT workout and here I am. I’m young so not that sad but I just hope I don’t have to get the D&C surgery. :(

In my first trimester, can I get a microneedling with PRP?

Venting moment: can we discuss how every symptom is either “you’re miscarrying/dying” or “totally normal pregnancy symptom” and there is no in between? Crazy cramps? Either ectopic/dying or normal because hormones. Sudden horrible back pain? Either miscarriage or totally normal because hormones.

When do you typically have your first ultrasound to determine if it's a viable pregnancy? And when did you get your first symptoms? 5 weeks today and I just feel tired. I'm worried but hoping for the best!

Parents to be: Has anyone not changed their last name and come up with a compromise for naming your kids’ last names? It’s strange to me that the dad’s last name is still the default whether or not the mom took his name. (Apparently I’m in the minority, only 20% of women retain their name) What’s your plan and what’s been your experience? Also very interested in how LGBTQ+ community handles this.
