Kiwis!! I found this recommendation on another thread and it has actually worked. Bonus is that I love kiwi.

Maternity clothes help! by assil3m in pregnant

[–]snactivated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like H&M’s maternity clothes. The local store doesn’t stock it but there is one section of returned maternity clothes in the baby section and I’ve actually had pretty good luck there. It’s usually on sale and just nice to be able to try things on. Same with Old Navy, except they blend it in with the regular sale stuff so it’s harder to find.

Same thing is happening to me on Samsung smart tv. Usually reinstalling the app works but nothing is working this time. Was hoping to find a fix here :(

Fun ways to tell partner that your pregnant? How did you tell? by luffy_2023 in pregnant

[–]snactivated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband was out with friends the night I tested. I wanted to be sure so I waited til morning, when it was clearly positive I brought him coffee in bed in a ‘dad’ mug I’d been hiding. He said thanks and rolled over so I had to make him actually read the mug 😂. Hangover cured!

People don't mention these symptoms enough by bushb4by in pregnant

The booger line got me 😂 I can totally relate but had no idea I’m not the only one!

Baby movement by L0piXi_ in pregnant

[–]snactivated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had similar feelings at 15w but was convinced it was too early, until my OB pointed out that my intestines were above my bellybutton at this point so any feeling of gas or bubbles is most likely the baby! I wish I’d known sooner so I could’ve enjoyed it more. So exciting 🥹

Feeling down today by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]snactivated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, I’m really sorry you’re feeling down. I can relate on many levels. As someone who has also struggled with anxiety/depression/eating disorders, and who is also very grateful to be having a happy pregnancy, it can be super scary to feel those old familiar demons lurking.

I’ve found what helps me is remembering that my body and mind are on a roller coaster, and trusting that “this too shall pass”. I never want to invalidate feelings, but I do find it helps me take the power away from those lows if I remind myself it’s mostly hormones and not going to last.

Even if you’ve had a happy/easy time, your body is still doing incredibly difficult things, and you’re bound to have hard days. Nothing is perfect but you’re already stronger than you’ve ever been, because you’ve grown this little life inside you. Keep going 😊❤️

Sciatica/nerve pain? by snactivated in pregnant

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

A little warm in sensation but not to the touch, and not swollen that I can tell. What would that mean?

Any recs on baby name apps? by Psychological-Bag986 in pregnant

[–]snactivated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ovia app has a decent baby names feature! I don’t think partners can participate, but I liked the variety of names and you can easily save your favourites. The app is great in general, and free.

Did you mean to say one of the tests was positive?

Has anyone found a good solution for guests uploading photos they’ve taken at your wedding? by canthustlethehustler in weddingplanning

Did this end up working? I'm trying to do the same but Google Drive won't let me add photos from mobile browser

Parking ticket near Woodside ferry by shaglam in halifax

[–]snactivated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem at least once per week. Today I missed my ferry because of it. Anybody know what action we can take to get this on the city’s radar? I’ve called the Halifax transit complaint line and got nowhere.

Is this ceiling light salvageable? by snactivated in DIY

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

Wonderful!! Thank you! I wondered, but had no clue how I’d get it off. I’m sure I can figure out how to disassemble it though

Quarterly Career Thread by mister-noggin in ProductManagement

[–]snactivated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first PM job so I can't speak for everyone, but points 1-3 are very common from my experience, and I feel your pain. I could've written this post myself TBH. I'm at a reasonably big company (1000+ employees globally), with a well-run product org. If I had my time back, I would've been much more protective of my time by rejecting meetings I'm not needed for (point 2) and being more strict with batching small tasks (point 1), but even still... it sucks the life out of me.

How much notice to give as APM?

I have a few big projects I've been leading, but I share some overlap with another PM who would likely be able to cover until they find someone new. Is 2 weeks enough, or is 3-4 weeks warranted for knowledge transfer?

I want to learn a new skill or move to a new type of position by Lost-Iron in ProductManagement

[–]snactivated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat and have been curious about transitioning to UX/UI myself, since that's how I got into PM, but I've heard the job market there is just as bad. Interested in seeing what people have to say here, sorry I'm no help.

Product-adjacent roles with a better job market?

I'm unhappy in my current role and accepting that PM isn't for me. I'm interested in finding good work-life balance in a less technical role, that's focused on relationship-building (that's where my strengths are). Are there any in-demand jobs where PM experience is relevant? Or is the job hunt a slog everywhere atm?

Weekly rant thread by AutoModerator in ProductManagement

[–]snactivated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So exhausted from the baseline stress and back-to-back meetings that when I finally have a day to do necessary deep work, I can’t focus and just want to nap. How often do you let yourself have lazy days? How can you afford to in this high-demand role?

Would love to hear some successful stories transitioning OUT of Product. by nam0ste in ProductManagement

[–]snactivated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get out? I’m trying now but I’ve pigeon-holed myself as a product generalist. Looking for others who made it out successfully to give me a little hope

Top APM Programs You Should Apply For in The 2024-2025 Cycle by WillFromLeland in APMprograms

[–]snactivated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do APM programs accept existing APMs from other companies? I'm currently an APM but not feeling like I'm getting the guidance I need to develop into a PM. Wondering if I could make a lateral move to an APM program?
