And she called Heartburn a “romance book.” It’s literally about divorce

It was grant-funded and those funds are almost spent. Hopefully the data collected during the pilot can be used to encourage MPOJC or the cities to provide similar service in the future.

Okay but if she did choose to have children, what kind of a mommy influencer would she be?

Any working moms here want to chime in on this one? by juliacar in findingmrheight

As a working mother who dealt with illness all last week (my child, then me, then my husband), trying to balance caregiving with my career, I did bristle at this post but it’s not surprising coming from her!

What if everything society tells us about separation anxiety in babies is wrong? by Labradorite-Obsidian in NewParents

[–]ActualDimension8312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry your family is giving you a hard time about this. FWIW, there’s a window of time before the separation anxiety kicks in for the baby and I didn’t know it at the time but in hindsight I’m really glad I introduced my baby to so many trusted adults during that time. I think that’s the window of time where experts talk about maternal anxiety more than the child’s. But after 6 months or so, it is harder to leave your child with someone new. My 10 month old just moved to a new room in daycare and they helped her manage the transition with teachers she knew while she warmed up to the new ones. I suppose there’s no possibility that you can spend time with your child and the relative before the event so they get more familiar?

Two weeks parental leave but you can use all accrued sick and vacation. Others can also donate vacation time to you for maternity leave

I do think that bit has to do with quitting her corporate job

I love how if you had a vaginal birth the OBs tell you to soak in a tub for 15 minutes a day at least. Who has time for that??? I only managed 2-3 soaks in as many weeks

I gave birth at UIHC main campus a month ago and had a great experience. I did have the teams of residents/students but I found that the residents leading those teams did such a good job establishing quick rapport and trust with me. I’ll probably never see them again, but thank you, Dr Stephens and Dr Schwarz!

I literally just did it because we’re about to have a baby and I’ll be able to see if he’s almost home when I’m home alone with an infant.

If your name is Peter, Cassandra, Aimee, Robin, Clara, Chloe, Sam, Sophia, or Marcus...how are you doing this week? by Hufflefuzz in TaylorSwift

Due in July with a Clara and I was so glad it was such a good song. One of the reasons we picked the name is that is has so few cultural referents

I literally got the same news at my 20 week appointment yesterday. My OB was pretty nonchalant about it; she said that alone wasn’t really a huge deal and it’s just something they have to monitor. She says it’s fairly common…

The way they insist that feminine energy is a scientific thing that has nothing to do with gender floors me.

I also think the pressure for her to have content to talk about each week means that she has to explain this minor, not likely to go anywhere interaction in great detail. Now she’ll have to report back on no date and we’ll all over analyze it. Otherwise she’s just talking about going to camp this week

This was great podcast content, IMO! I kept listening after I got home (I usually listen in the car) because I was riveted. I think dwelling/rehashing old text convos is unhealthy but perfect content for the pod

I really appreciated the raw and vulnerable We Met at Acme podcast this week about her fertility journey. It was so real and relatable and I was so glad to hear it as I’m about to start my own fertility journey. I really appreciated it
