Hi. I know we are only really early and have a lot of time but is anyone really nervous about telling their managers/team. I'm new to the team and still training. I feel really guilty that I will be leaving them for 9 months.

My sister once found out she was pregnant got a job, took mat pay, then 2 weeks holiday pay after may leave ended then quit. Shed worked there a total of 4 months. I completely disagreed with this btw. But I'm saying it so you don't feel as guilty. You're bringing a human life into this world which should be celebrated. Your management will be fine. You'll go back to work and be an awesome colleague after like you will be up until then

I feel bad, I've been at my job for 6 months, just got out onto a level 5 diploma too. My boss is great but I'm still very very nervous and feel awkward telling work and I likely need to tell them soon because my symptoms, despite WFH, are becoming hard to explain and I've had a drop in my productivity. Whilst no one would notice from management, as my diary and work is my own, it still wouldn't reflect well if there were things that started to slip and affected relationships with clients I do work with directly, if that makes sense. Things taking longer being a major one. I feel I should get ahead of it soon. Especially as I called in sick today and might do tomorrow due to insomnia and exhaustion. It's a tricky one! If I'd be there a year or more, I'd feel a lot less anxious and awkward.

30 weeks pregnant and sick of “fat” related comments

Hi everyone,

I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my second baby. I somehow looked very pregnant from the get go. I’ve had HG and was losing weight the first 6 weeks, was in an out of hospital and to survive, I was eating bread and crackers every 10 minutes or so. As a result, I’ve gained 23kgs so far. I get comments like “you must ready to pop, are you sure you’re not having twins?”. Today, my butcher told me to “watch my weight as I’m getting quite big”. Even my own mother has told me to “watch my weight and to try and lose weight” which is dangerous. I gained 30kgs with my first and lost it all which took a year so I know this is routine for me but the comments are really upsetting and getting me down.

Anyone feel like people get resentful when you get pregnant?

So I’m only just over 4 weeks but I’m trying to keep it a secret for as long as possible. This is my 2nd pregnancy but 3rd child as I had twins last time.

Last pregnancy we had some negative comments from people who I know were just projecting and probably hurting in ways but honestly this time I just don’t wanna hear it 😅 it’s a shame people can’t always be happy for others but I guess that’s not how it works 🥹

Wondfo evaps?

Do wondfo tests tend to have evaps?
I’ve never used them before
Feel like I see something on both wet and dry tests but cleared on the dry one, don’t want to get my hopes up if it’s common

Heart rate @ 6 weeks+2

Hey girlies would you say a heart rate of 137bpm is too high for 6 weeks or is that a very reassuring heart rate 🩵🥹
