maternity

Hi, I applied for Nj TDI for maternity leave in December 3rd. My due date wasn't until January 17th but I wanted to expedite the process because my family lives check to check to make our lives easier and not have to wait too long for the benefit to come in. January 2nd I officially went on...

So I recently found out I’m about 6-8weeks pregnant. I’ve told my parents and a few close friends as this is my first child. One of my close mates, let’s call her A, has been very excited for my bab. This is, obviously, normal and somewhat appreciated. However, A has been way too excited and I...

Hi everyone, Over the weekend I unfortunately had. Miscarriage, with minimal bleeding and no clots until I passed something last night. If you are comfortable I have a photo of what I passed, however as I was 6+0 it didn’t make sense to me to see a placenta, cord and fetus(?) all attached...

Is there a better group for this? I work in MA and yes I will discuss with my employer but looking for any personal experience first. If I take paid family medical leave for maternity, does anyone know of I am legally able to work per diem/ad hoc somewhere else? Unrelated to my agency? I am...

Hi I’m just wondering, me and my partner are wanting to try for a baby but I’m currently on a temporary contract until August, they are hoping to renew it for another year but I’m just curious if I’d still get paid statutory maternity allowance and would I get it for the full 9 months

I was wondering if anyone could provide a recommendation for a pair of joggers (tapered leg) that can be dressed up (not lounge/sweatpant joggers). This is usually my go-to for summer months, particularly here in the UK when the weather isn’t too hot. I’ve worn Albion Fit joggers, but I don’t...

Hey friends, I’m here to ask if anyone has tips and tricks that helped them overcome or better coexist with their morning sickness. I’m not pregnant, but afriend of mine is very early in her pregnancy and she’s unfortunately having a very difficult time. She’s been dealing with Hyperemesis...

I'm 4'8" with a petite frame, and I need help finding maternity clothes as I am at my wits end. I'm 29 yr old and 4 months pregnant. I've looked at Old Navy, Marshall's, Walmart, online, but am struggling to find maternity clothes to fit me. Just when I think I've found a good link it turns...

I am part of the subreddit for petite fashions and they have a list of retailers that offer petite clothes and which ones offer international shipping for those outside of the U.S. It would be great if there was the same for maternity clothes. My daughter is finally pregnant and I want to buy...

Hello! I am scheduled for a c-section in early May and wanted some advice/tips about what the most helpful and nessicary items for recovery are. I should preface, this is not my first c-section. I had to have an emergency one my last delivery so I didn't get the opportunity to learn about the...

Hello everyone, I hope things are going good for you. I am a medical student in my final year and deeply interested in Gynecology and Obstetrics as well as in Psychiatry. I am currently working on my thesis about the psychological and psychiatric changes associated with postpartum. I would...

Background: With my first, my water broke (3 days before my due date) but even with a bunch of drugs, I wasn't progressing (barely dilated at 30 hours) so got an epidural and emergency C-section, esp after my baby's HR dropped dangerously. Being my second, I was thinking of trying for natural v...

- ironically, even that thread gets removed by the /r/breastfeeding mods. Formula companies have a long history of that type of unethical behavior: https://github.com/MaximilianKohler/Archive/wiki/Maternity#formula Reddit in general is heavily manipulated in a variety of ways...

I joined a new company in May, and am planing to get pregnant soon. When I go out on maternity leave, I will have only been at this company for 1.5 years. Will people judge me for that? Other people have been at the company longer. I wasn’t planning on changing jobs at this point in my career...

Wondering what some of you would do/have done. It’s recommended women of advanced maternal age be induced at 39 weeks. I’m 38 years old. This is my third pregnancy. Second one came fast at under 2 hours. Doctor is not pressuring me but thinks it will be fine and thinks it’s a good idea. Baby...
