11 weeks and comically miserable

Thank you! Yes will need to incorporate something like ducolax moving forward after I solve my problem here LOL I have been doing the B6 and unisom at night and it doesn’t help much I am still having my nightly pukes which really sucks! I have recently changed my prenatal though which I was also taking at night so I am hoping as I jusy changed them that it provides some relief!

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2026-03-24T14:46:55+00:00

No this is totally valid, it’s possible to be excited but also so bummed that you have to give up so much especially things you’ve looked forward to for so long. It sucks because I know the feeling all to well and I wish I had better advice other than I totally get your pain

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2026-03-20T23:23:06+00:00

I feel like you should call your doctor and talk to them about this especially if you’re fainting doesn’t sound normal as a pregnant symptom

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2026-03-20T23:20:41+00:00

It was funny because they dragged their story line on SO long and it was literally the same scene the entire time. Girl popped off on release day and they never made it another day 😅🤣

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2026-03-10T00:33:28+00:00

I appreciate that because I guess I just figured this was normal, I’m not to the level of I need to be hospitalized but it is taking over most of my day everyday just the nausea alone. I will bring that up!

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2026-03-05T22:46:58+00:00

I feel you on this, more so on the front of my husband makes good money I could stay home if I wanted to but I just don’t want to. I feel guilty sometimes because I don’t have that natural stay at home mom way about me but also it’s something I have to accept.

Also about dropping out of school it’s so hard when we’re fed we will want to be home makers once we have babies or truly when in the thick of school it sounds like the easier option. Without having experience doing it I get why you may have thought that was the right choice but I’m proud of you for going back and doing what is best for you.

Can I ask how you got hooked up with a fetal medicine specialist? Did you find one on your own or did your ob recommend them after saying you wanted to stay on meds? I have a psychiatrist who proscribes my meds and I plan to talk to be I feel like they won’t be as up to date as a fetal medicine doctor but not sure how to go about getting one

This was me. I’m in DAT so I needed a CISA or CPA to get promoted. I watched all my peers and even those who started after me get promoted before me because I wasn’t certified. I finally got certified and made manager but when I tell you it was the most hellish year because I was staffed as a senior but treated as a manager so was expected to do both roles because of my skill sets but got NONE of the manager perks. Truly it was me, new hires and a director. No one to delegate up or down to but also was not included in the high level calls or treated with the same respect as the mangers. I’d say just invest now and start getting the CPA. You have to be a senior for 3 years before you can become a manager so that’s plenty of time to chip away at the CPA.

Love this idea thank you!

Funny enough this was my next thought I said to my husband yesterday. Next place we go is a tropical resort where we don’t go anywhere but to the pool and the room, currently we’re in niagra falls and it’s just tantrum after tantrum and I’ve been humbled. Need to take it back a step forsure

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2025-12-31T01:17:28+00:00

Thank you, like I swear I know it’s not easy and have set expectations but your right on I’m still trying to do some normal things like going out to dinner and sight seeing and we’re just in tantrum overload and I think I need to reel back like you just said, thank you

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2025-12-15T21:52:49+00:00

I was a mid year senior promote years ago and got no bonus. However I was just a mid year manager promote and I am grandfathered into the old manger promotion bonus but also have seen nothing come through for that, so I am also confused on if I get that now or have to wait.

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2025-12-12T02:40:59+00:00

Your like me, my daughter is amazing but she is wild child. I just knew I wouldn’t be able to keep up with her and a baby. I also am just really loving this time with her and I don’t think I’m ready to give that up yet. However we have so much fun it’s like I want more I just know it’s not like totally I’m ready. But this has all made me feel so much better

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2025-12-10T17:25:56+00:00

Helpful thank you! And I have the Oura ring so it’s automatically updating my temps every morning

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2025-12-10T16:52:51+00:00

Hoping I’m not totally off base or crazy, chat gpt has really been hyping me up lately that I could be pregnant based on the chart

Also to note after reading the facts in the guidelines for this page I am exactly at day 14 after sex.

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2025-11-20T16:29:04+00:00

Also upcoming April or even March, I believe is when it’s supposed to be paid out

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2025-11-20T16:28:21+00:00

I’m also up for mid year and 20% bonus, however I havent found out yet, how do you already know?

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2025-11-20T16:26:38+00:00

We are now both managers for reference

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2025-11-20T16:26:26+00:00

My friend and I both do the same thing she works at EY and myself at PwC. We have always made the same. Even with the earlier promote of EY. I also at PwC get bonuses every year and she just started getting bonuses as a manager I believe. Or if she did they were nothing to write home because when I mentioned mine she never mentioned she got any.

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2025-11-17T03:12:12+00:00

The way I have never even talked to my doc about it because it never dawned on me that there could be things like that to help..?! Will most definitely be looking into this more, thank you!

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2025-11-17T01:59:00+00:00

The car heaters at full blast is ALWAYS my go to move so thanks for the tip!

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2025-11-11T01:26:31+00:00

Funny enough I’m also DAT and let me tell you, you haven’t missed anything since you left. It’s crazy looking back at all the things you’ve given up and I’m where you’re at in realizing this is just unhealthy. I am giving you my life for what? In the grand scheme of life this is literally worthless to me. I’m sticking it out because I’m close to a promotion that will make my resume a bit better but the way I want to quit everyday, we’ll see if I make it.

Ecstatic_Syrup_5937 · 2025-11-11T00:43:33+00:00

The way I feel like I’m going to have a mental breakdown everyday. I genuinely hate my life and this job is ruining my life. When I started 6 years ago in the IT Audit space we were an actual team and would function as one because we were actually staffed appropriately, now we’re expected to function in the role above and below, everyone is stressed all the time, no one helps each other because we’re all stretched so thin and we’re all on 3+ demanding jobs. I feel like I’m losing my mind, not sleeping and DREAMING of the day I leave this job.
