When did you start winding down/transitioning work? My due date is approaching in a month with my first child, but I know they could come early or late, so it feels a bit hard to plan.

Yes, so hard to plan! now is a good time! It’s good to know who is taking over your work and to have calls to discuss background, where matters stand, upcoming deadlines, so if baby comes a little early people aren’t totally scrambling.

Definitely start planning now. I had to deliver unexpectedly at 35 weeks, luckily I had been keeping detailed notes on my cases so someone could just step in and take over. I’d keep a spreadsheet of tasks and deadlines and update it every few days.

Better to start early and then hopefully your backup people can join in seamlessly once you're officially out! Or if there's a natural transition point and you don't care about hours, go for it as soon as your backups are ready.

I think I stopped accepting new projects at around 36 weeks bc by then I had scheduled my induction for 39 weeks and for most things it wasn't worth my jumping in just to jump out in less than a month. Other things I would start copying my backup around week 37-38 after having a transition chat so they could review the file and get up to speed and ask questions while I was still available.

Need a pep talk. 9 weeks pregnant with a history of miscarriages, even this pregnancy started as twins (saw both heartbeats at 7wks) but one "vanished". Now extra paranoid for the remaining healthy one and constantly overanalyzing every stomach feeling or any break in nausea. I may go insane 😓

Repost - The % of the African American population killed by police in 2019 is roughly 0.0005%. It was 235 people. But around the same year 6,000 african americans were killed by eachother. How do we reconcile these facts? In 2013, 72% of african americans were born to single parent households; one of the strongest indicators of future poverty and criminal disposition. Can we acknowledge and fix instances of police brutality while also not ignoring our cultural problems as well?

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment. We got a faint positive today but have had so many chemical pregnancies over the past year that I am not confident it will stick this time BUT I am on aspirin and progesterone for this try … so it could.. I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?

911 Carrera S vs GTS

I really want to do a low key spec on my next car but it’s almost impossible to spec the GTS without black wheels/accents turning it into a more aggressive looking car.

Thoughts on if the GTS in a 7 speed is more engaging than the S enough to justify the compromise in wheel selection?
