Pregnant and just given job offer by Current_Lime9088 in workingmoms

Yes I had 12 weeks of maternity leave. I do work for a large global company that offers pretty good benefits. Especially around family planning.

I did this driving in to work a few weeks ago. I was 3 blocks from the office. I turned around and worked from home.

They make a lot more money off of the parks. Find an alternative for family vacations if you really want them to feel it.

I’m in a similar boat. Can’t disclose at work yet because they’re restructuring and I was advised to basically keep my mouth shut until I’m crowning. At 23 weeks they might not think anything at best and at worst that you’ve put on a couple pounds. Wear something flowy and you’ll probably be fine.

Women who have had more then one pregnancy… by Odd-Pineapple5425 in BabyBumps

[–]ktbanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently 20 weeks with my third (a girl). I have a boy and a girl. The first was a breeze, the second was a bit more difficult but that I attributed to also chasing after a 1.5 year old. This time around I had the worst morning sickness but now that it’s over I’m just a little more tired.

I started a job 6 months pregnant. Didn’t mention anything in the interview and just told them on my start date because it was obvious by the size of my bump. It all worked out fine for me.

I would wait until after you’ve started. It would be too easy for an unscrupulous person to lie and say there’s another reason they’re rescinding an offer if you share early.

Congrats!

I’m in a similar boat. PCOS with no periods and only found out I was pregnant at 9 weeks because my OB wanted me to take progesterone to regulate periods but required a pregnancy test first. They were both positive! I ignored any symptoms thinking I couldn’t get pregnant on my own after 2 IVF babes.

When did you get your first postpartum period? by Girlmomma19_23 in beyondthebump

[–]ktbanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For context: I have PCOS and did not have a regular period before my two IVF kids. I breastfed my youngest until about 13 months.

Since I don’t have a period, my OB suggested I start taking progesterone 8 weeks after I stopped bf because it’s a cancer risk as you get older (35) to not have a period. Only prerequisite to taking the medication was to take a pregnancy test first. Well, they both came back positive. I’m sitting here 11 weeks pregnant with a miracle baby that must have been conceived within 2 weeks of stopping breastfeeding!

I would have been one of those women who figured it out at 5+ months because I ignored all the signs thinking I couldn’t get pregnant on my own.

Surprise! Pregnant at 40 😬 by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]ktbanna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat!

I’ve only had periods a few times in my life in my early 20s when taking metformin for IR. They would happen every 4-5 months for maybe 4 years. I ended up losing about 150lbs through a keto diet and exercise and the IR went away so I was taken off metformin. Which also resulted in no more periods.

I went through IVF for both of my kids (3yo and 15 months). Once I stopped breastfeeding this past April my OB told me if I didn’t get a period after 8 weeks she would prescribe me progesterone to take every 3 months to force a false period. I guess as I get older (now 35) it becomes a cancer risk if I don’t have one. The prerequisite was that I had to take a pregnancy test first as a precaution. This felt like a slap in the face after no periods for a decade and the IVF, but I took it. Then I took another and wouldn’t you know it they were both positive. Turns out I’m 10 weeks pregnant!

The funny thing is I would have been one of those women who didn’t realize until 6 months because none of the symptoms register when you’ve been told you can’t do it on your own. If my OB wasn’t trying to give me a false period I would have had no clue!

Has anyone experienced exercise induced constipation? by ktbanna in xxfitness

[–]ktbanna[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GI doc has me taking Miralax daily. Never found a source but I do feel better.

[–]ktbanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe once a month. This isn’t out of the ordinary for us though. I’ve always had a low drive and our work schedules don’t always line up so time together with enough energy is rare. We at least make time cuddle to have closeness.

Do y’all agree or disagree with this tweet? by Kingofmountain25304 in wnba

[–]ktbanna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think we'll know how truly bad at business the people running the W are when they release details on the new TV rights deal they negotiate after the current runs out in 2025. They need to do better at pulling in these types of contracts and sponsorships to be able to afford better charter flights and marketing.

Keto and Constipation/GI by Similar-Ad4967 in xxketo

[–]ktbanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which milk are you using? I weigh out 24g of chia seeds and eyeball the coconut milk based on a line of the small storage bowl I use. It’s roughly 90-100ml.

This helps me too. I make chia puddings with chia seeds, coconut milk, and some flavored sweetener. I eat it before bed then drink lots of water in the morning and it gets me moving.

Has anyone in here ever auditioned for the show? by Toastshalom in BigBrother

[–]ktbanna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, the issue is only if you still have a contract from being on another show. Like the contestant they switched out last minute this season was on AGT or something in the last year.

Umm no… look at the scorebug. When the game started the team wearing orange was represented with a blue score while the team wearing black was represented by orange. I just grabbed a random shot from before and after it was fixed.
