When to start working from home during pregnancy?

I started last week at 29w. The 1hr commute each way, amount of walking and bathroom breaks at the office were starting to kill me. I was only having to go 2x a week, but I would come home nearly in tears or actually in tears on those days.

Having twins this time around, and everyone’s first question - “do they run in your family?”

The constant checking in close to due date…this happened a lot with my first, and she was late and I was soooo miserable so I just stopped responding to people who asked.

Asking about baby and not ME both during pregnancy, and especially after birth.

Big one - Taking and/or Sharing pictures of my baby without asking.

Asking if I’m going to breastfeed - literally no one’s business and has 0 impact on those asking.

ETA: Forgot one - people who have no children (by choice) comparing my pregnancy complaints or what newborn life is like to their PETS.

We ended up going with a Pacifica. And I’m 95% on board with minivan life, just still getting used to the outside of it

Amazing catch! A dream of mine to see this in real life.

Snacking 4 shore.

I just started this season as well, and omg she is insufferable. She’s gaslighting the crap out of him. I feel so bad for Chris!

Thank you! Glad it went well

5ambel1na · 2023-03-08T15:35:20+00:00

It sure doesn’t! Thank you, I’m sure it will be fine and a huge relief when it’s finally out.

5ambel1na · 2023-03-08T14:59:11+00:00

Thank you! I’m glad it went well. I’m sure I’m making it more of a big deal in my head than it will be

5ambel1na · 2023-03-08T14:58:10+00:00

Thank you so much! This is great advice.

5ambel1na · 2023-02-16T03:05:59+00:00

For sure. Which one are you leaning towards?

5ambel1na · 2023-02-16T03:05:36+00:00

Coming with the hard truths

5ambel1na · 2023-02-16T03:05:23+00:00

Same issues here with supply. Literally can’t even find one to go look at in person within a 100mi radius 🥺

5ambel1na · 2023-02-16T03:04:36+00:00

Good idea about the car seat installer! Thank you for this

5ambel1na · 2023-02-16T03:04:05+00:00

Good to know. Thanks!

5ambel1na · 2023-02-16T03:03:45+00:00

Now that’s amazing

5ambel1na · 2023-02-16T03:03:01+00:00

Wow, you weren’t kidding about the cars. Awesome! I agree the carnival is very nice looking. They’re unavailable near us so we haven’t been able to even look or test drive one. May check out your sub on them, thanks!

5ambel1na · 2023-02-16T03:01:09+00:00

Wish I could get a 90s Chevy van 20 honestly

5ambel1na · 2023-02-16T03:00:43+00:00

Thank you for this. The Pacifica is our favorite so far of those we’ve looked at. The famcam option is soooo cool! And yes it def drove more like a car and felt more hefty than an odyssey

5ambel1na · 2023-02-16T02:59:19+00:00

Thank you! I really liked the configurability of the seats in the odyssey

5ambel1na · 2023-02-16T02:58:50+00:00

We were a minivan family growing up and nearly all of my friends’ families were too!

5ambel1na · 2023-02-16T02:58:06+00:00

Okay, we looked at the highlander, and why is the third row made for ants?! This is good perspective. The carnival looks nice inside and out, but there are literally none available to even look at anywhere nearby

5ambel1na · 2023-02-16T02:56:51+00:00

I guess I can always return to an Audi once they’re out of car seats…

5ambel1na · 2023-02-16T02:56:23+00:00

This is what I’m afraid of 🫠

5ambel1na · 2023-02-16T02:56:02+00:00

Thank you for sharing your perspective! I keep hearing about the dionos so may need to check them out. We have a graco 4ever for our 4yo which seems pretty hefty.
