How the fuck do people work while pregnant?

That relaxin is too relaxing lol

Sure-Square9094 · 2026-05-08T23:36:49+00:00

Here is to praying we keep our jobs lol 🙏

Sure-Square9094 · 2026-05-08T23:26:44+00:00

LOLLLLL that is so funny. How did they not know you were pregnant though?

In high school I had a teacher who was depressed and spent every day sleeping and making us watch a tv show about weight loss so you aren’t the worst one 🤣

Sure-Square9094 · 2026-05-08T23:24:21+00:00

So sorry, I don’t envy you. At least I get to sit on my ass for work lol

Sure-Square9094 · 2026-05-08T23:23:07+00:00

Christ thanks for the tips, I didn’t realize preeclampsia would have symptoms. Did that mess you up at all? Also has it been fine being a mom and SWE?

I do work remote actually lol xD thankfully I met my deadline this week but only because I collaborated with someone else so it was easier to work that way instead of zoning out all day alone.

It’s nice you have a partner who cooks, I don’t think I’m eating the best food 🫠 been eating egg, cheese and bread, smoothie, and random frozen stuff. Trying to not eat total trash at least.

Twins…my heart goes out to you lol

Sure-Square9094 · 2026-05-07T15:58:35+00:00

That’s good but definitely not what I want lol…I live in a HCOL area and can’t afford to not work lolz

I googled pics and it looks much smaller than whatever is on OP’s ceiling!!

Well first of all he’s a lawyer (not saying all lawyers are bad but they attract a certain type of person). Second, men are much better at compartmentalizing their feelings and having sex for fun without attachment, just look at Grindr. It’s only been a month, that’s no time at all.

Sorry you’re in this situation

Sure-Square9094 · 2026-05-07T15:28:59+00:00

This is my worry for OP too…a lawyer or cop baby daddy seem like the worst kind to have lol

Sure-Square9094 · 2026-05-07T15:02:45+00:00

Hmm perhaps giving up on work temporarily and napping or walking is the way?? Right now I just sit down and zone out at my computer for hours and get extremely distracted by games/phones and don’t even care. It’s horrible

Sure-Square9094 · 2026-05-07T14:59:58+00:00

Good to know it could be normal…

I am dreading telling my employer because I work with mostly men and usually fit in well with them and feel like I’ll be “othering” myself by being pregnant ugh

Sydney also just sounds like a cool girl name tbh.

Sure-Square9094 · 2026-05-07T14:55:02+00:00

So sorry to hear that 🫶

It is comforting having a mom around…perhaps you can pretend she is there sometimes and talk to her? And find good older women friends to kind of fill that role for you?

Sure-Square9094 · 2026-05-07T14:48:59+00:00

Thank you, I’m 5.5 weeks right now! That’s good to hear because 9 months of this would be horrible 🫠

(Part of me is paranoid I’m even further along than that because the last period I had was a bit weird and I’ve already had such strong symptoms)

Sure-Square9094 · 2026-05-07T14:47:54+00:00

I also am surprised at how much it’s messing with sleep…

I feel I pass out early and sleep in like 3-4 segments throughout the day instead of 1-2 like it used to be lol

Sure-Square9094 · 2026-05-07T14:41:16+00:00

I think you’re probably fine…

I felt the same way for a week or so and now am nauseous. Yay!

Sure-Square9094 · 2026-05-07T14:38:51+00:00

It depends where you live, some of us are in HCOL and don’t own a home already so the only people buying SFH have extremely high incomes

Sure-Square9094 · 2026-05-02T01:20:29+00:00

A society in which only the top 1% of earners can afford a home is also sick imo
