When should I tell my work that I’m pregnant? It’s my first pregnancy so I’m not really showing yet (still wearing pre-pregnancy clothes). Im 10W and my first OB appt is later this week. I was planning on at least waiting on that confirmation, but should I wait until 12W? Thanks in advance for your advice! 😊

I didn’t formally announce at work until 20 weeks, but I did tell a few people I work closely with that I trust a lot early, after confirmation and the NIPT test, to help explain what I was going through.

This question gets asked in this bowl a lot. I think the answers vary, but it's usually advisable to tell them after you've gotten through the first trimester unless you're experiencing some sort of symptom that is affecting productivity.

There is no “safe zone.” I lost my first born at 28 weeks pregnant due to a cord accident. Sending prayers your way 🤍

First of all, congrats! I told my friend/colleague/coworker at 10 weeks. Told my managing partner and HR at 18 weeks — because we were having a retreat and I didn’t want to drink and didn’t want me be asked why I was drinking. I told the rest of my team at 20 weeks.

I told them at 15 weeks bc I knew my boss already wanted to start looking to hire another associate bc of the work load and wanted him to have enough time. But it really depends on your relationship with the office.

I went on a date last week and it went really well. We basically set up 2nd & 3rd dates that night. 2nd date's Friday for drinks and 3rd date is drag brunch. Date had to end pretty early bc she's in the med field and needs to wake up around 5am. I'm new to dating people my own gender and I want to make moves but I'm nervous/hesitant since I'm new to this. There was light touching, leaning in, eye contact, but I want to do more. Anything I should do on the 2nd date? How to initiate?

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

Anyone available to review my resume/guide me through this job search? I’ve been applying places for the past 6 months and am not getting responses. Unemployment has run out and I’m starting to crumble under the pressure of bills. My experience the past 6yrs has been in smaller companies where my role was never just one thing but instead spread over multiple departments, so I’m struggling to narrow down how to convey the vast experience I do have.
