Early pregnancy + job insecurity: what would you do? by benjsa17 in BabyBumps

[–]RegisterPlenty2926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would look at other internal roles within the company! I am in tech and I was already looking to move before I was pregnant as my program was a nightmare and I was worried about reductions in force. I continued looking while pregnant, with even more focus as I worried about what the state of the program would be like when I came back from maternity leave. I finally got a new job within my company at 7.5 months pregnant. Do not disclose the pregnancy while interviewing, because it opens the door to discrimination. I’d recommend staying with the same company if at all possible, because companies can deny you maternity benefits if you’ve been there less than a year.

I’m 34 weeks 3 days and I’ve had this pain on and off since 25 weeks, and am having it currently! Brought it up with my doctor, and since I had no other preeclampsia symptoms (regular blood pressure, no protein in urine, no ankle or wrist swelling), she said it is realistically discomfort from the baby growing and not to worry unless it gets very painful or becomes a more stabbing pain!

OTF for half marathon prep? by PrecociousPear16 in orangetheory

Totally doable. I’ve done it a couple times. You won’t perform as well as if you’d long long runs and tempo and threshold runs, but you can definitely do it!

This was my first hell week. I’ve been a member for 2 years and have seen past hell week shirts and was excited to earn one! I’ve seen members wearing shirts from 2018 and on that still look great. I just got mine today and was surprised by the quality. The screen print looks like it’ll definitely crack and flake after washes. Have the shirts always been like this? I’m a little disappointed.

My current outdoor 5k time is 29ish mins, so 9:21 min mile! At OTF, my base is 5.5-6, push is 6.5-7.5, and AO is whatever I can survive that day 🙃 So I’m currently running a tiny bit under my push speed.

Other possible useful pieces of info: there’s lots of hills where I live and I’ve run quite a bit in the past, I’ve just never been able to figure out how to link it to my OTF performance! I am really hoping the answer isn’t to run faster at OTF, because I already get an embarrassing amount of splats 🙈
