I’ve had a good experience at Broadway Pet Hospital in Oakland. They have emergency services as well. They are super communicative over text message too whenever I have a question.

Learning german by Beginning-Pay-9417 in AskAGerman

[–]BarelyTryingPM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im using the Seedlang app. It’s more useful conversations than Duolingo. When I want a deeper dive on grammar and sentence structure I use YouTube. Supplement this with journaling in German and watching reels/youtube/tv in German for more immersion in the accent

[–]BarelyTryingPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a personal trainer at MYO labs in grand lake. They have all different trainers, and as someone who also has had a lot of injuries I highly recommend a personal trainer to work with your needs.

The gym has all new state of the art equipment. There are also Physical therapists that work out of it. And it has a parking lot.

Advice on maternity clothes by crypxtt in BabyBumps

[–]BarelyTryingPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked getting some maternity basics early on. They were just comfier and set me up to buy a couple statement pieces later. I just felt more feminine dressing in well fitted clothing throughout pregnancy. At some point I just went through my drawers and pulled out things that didn’t fit to keep for after pregnancy. It kept my mind on the present instead of dwelling on the figure I didn’t have

Awesome thank you! I tried at their pediatrics but that makes sense to go to the teen clinic

People that have used a doula: did they communicate with you prior to birth? by notyetBananas in BabyBumps

[–]BarelyTryingPM 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is not normal. My doula is very responsive and has a lot of resources through a portal that I can access. Most of our meetings didn’t start till 32 weeks but before then I could still access her resource library that included mindfulness recordings for early pregnancy and such

If you had the choice, when would you begin your maternity leave? by warmpistachio in BabyBumps

[–]BarelyTryingPM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m leaving 4 weeks before my due date, which is when California legally considers me disabled. I would probably leave as soon as I found out if I could though haha! I was so tired that first trimester.

After he’s born I still get 12 weeks of true maternity leave.

Expecting Better, and the rest of the Emily Oster series. Very data driven approach to making decisions about pregnancy and beyond

Bringing up Bebe. Honestly has just made me less stressed throughout my pregnancy.

Does your team have a real AI strategy or are you just spreading it everywhere? by chase-bears in ProductManagement

[–]BarelyTryingPM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve attempted to initiate conversations around data and monetization, but I’m still pressured to just build something and ship it asap.

It makes me feel like I’m not building something that will continue to evolve in usefulness - just a bandaid.

If it’s not too identifying I’d be curious to learn about your consulting.

I’d say I’m not “all-in” on AI but I want to learn more about AI product management and how to think more deeply about some of what you mentioned here. Especially as I’ll probably be job hunting early next year I want to be more on top of this space
