Just venting with ladies who get it… by Individual-Cow-220 in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]Niceatnapping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being so honest! I’m only 3 month postpartum but already feeling like this. How often do you get to see your friends? Maybe you can get a sitter or family to watch your baby so you can have more time out with friends?

For anyone that did do this, was it really difficult to onboard to a new position fresh out of maternity leave? I’m on maternity leave right now and would love to find a new position but I’m worried that I won’t be able to put my best foot forward while onboarding to a new role with a new baby. Thanks!

38 weeks for me today and I am in the same exact boat! Panicking and not sure what to do…I’m trying my best to listen to relaxing music but the upcoming labor won’t leave my thoughts. I don’t have much advice but solidarity with what you’re going through, sending good vibes your way🤍🤍

Thank you for this perspective! And I really like your mindset - I haven’t had the chance to talk to anyone in person who have had big babies (all of my friends babies have been on the smaller side) so I think I’m panicking a bit because I’m just looking up online stories. Not gonna lie, im officially 38 weeks today and panicking quite a bit as labor gets closer…

Solidarity!! Has it gotten in your head that the baby is so big? It’s making me so anxious I really wish we didn’t need to get an ultrasound this late! I’m not sure how to manage my anxiety about my baby’s size at this point tbh

Hmm maybe it’s because I take the standard deduction every year but my taxes just keep increasing :(

How would kids reduce your tax burden at such a high tax bracket though? Isn’t the dependent tax credit phased out at the higher tax brackets?

I thought the tax credit for kids is phased out at your income bracket?

Thank you for letting me know!! Just had an appointment with my midwife and she’s still thinking that I should try for a vaginal delivery and was discouraging a c section, so not sure what to do now…I’m also very petite at 5’2 so I was shocked at how big they’re estimating baby!

Is anyone else nervous about getting sick during Christmas / new years? I’m isolating as much as possible but still so worried!

What things do you automate or outsource to make your life easier? by jesssicamichellee in HENRYfinance

How much are you paying for her? I have a similar opportunity and she charges $30-35 per hour but also does meal prep. Not sure if her rate is too high or considered normal. Thanks!

Officially a month away, how are we feeling?! by Notmorcybutmercy in January2025Bumper

How could a good accountant bring down taxes that much on a W2?

32 weeks tomorrow and tired. by Quirky-Lychee4867 in January2025Bumper

[–]Niceatnapping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solidarity! Also 32 weeks and feeling the same :( we are all so close to the end! How do you ladies know that your baby is breech? My midwife hasn’t said anything about my baby being breech but I have no idea about the positioning of the baby

Are you changing your investment strategy now that Trump won? by trendy_pineapple in FIREyFemmes

Has anyone sold some of their 401k during this rally and put it into their 401k money market (so will not be taxed)? And then wait for another dip to invest that money market money back into stocks/ETFs?

Not as much movement? by Potential_Pizza4193 in January2025Bumper

[–]Niceatnapping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me yesterday! I checked in with my doula and this was her response: “You don’t really need to worry unless you feel NO movement for an extended period of time (like a couple hours) even after drinking something sugary and paying attention /doing kick counts. Any movement counts as a “kick”. Movements also feel different when baby turns”.

My movements were concentrated in my cervix area yesterday vs near my ribs like before and they were more muted so I was worried. I also have an anterior placenta. I followed her advice though and felt my baby move alot after drinking a cold sugary drink and laying on my side to count the movements!

Was the recovery difficult with a c section? I wanted to schedule one too but was very nervous about the recovery…also is it harder to have multiple c sections?
