prego mommies who are working when did you tell your job you were pregnant??? I started a new job today and I wanted to know the right time I will be 14 weeks tomorrow and I'm already starting to show so I'm not sure how much longer I can hide it
Share your son's names ? So im due in 8ish weeks with a little boy but we cant find a name that we both love so please ladies comment your boys' names ! I need some inspiration ??
need suggestions.... So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Preggies, We're working on a blog post about what it means to be a mom, and we want your opinion. What would you add to this statement? You know you're a mom when... Add your reply in the comments here, and we'll post your responses on our blog just in time for Mother's Day! Thanks! Preggie_USA

Seems awfully judgemental of you to say that about other people.

Yeah people are too much! While I do go to bed much earlier now than before I was pregnant - like 9:00 pm - I work full time, go to the gym, see my friends and family, just moved into our new place and some remodeling is still going on so we are cont dangly cleaning and unpacking, have 2 Stepkids with me 50% of the time and still go on real dates and vacations with my man. Some days I am more tired than others, but I'm still pretty good! I'm debating whether to start my maternity leave at 38 weeks or just wait until the baby comes. Working is good!
Brystal·
Exactly! My plan is to work until he is here. I just can't sit at home and do nothing. @kenitra
Brystal·
Well that's your opinion. But if people want to complain about money and other stuff then do something about it. Sitting on your butt all day isn't helping that situation. @phinnybinz
Kenitra·
And I also wonder, why are you having a baby if you can't support yourself to begin with? It's insane. Why bring a baby into that situation?

I got hired at 28 weeks, but sadly my first day of work I got admitted to the hospital with pyleonephritis! I wish I could have worked my whole pregnancy, I wanted to so badly
Brystal·
I completely agree. My husband works a lot so I wouldn't have to work and I could just go to school but I can't do that. @kenitra , I completely understand medical conditions and making sure you and your baby is safe. But apparently im judgemental. @tlw1596

I don't really think it is judgemental. up until I got sick at 28 weeks I was working one job, taking seven college courses with two research projects, and I was hiking ten miles or so twice a week. I try not to use being pregnancy as an excuse to be lazy
Brystal·
I don't think it should be used as an excuse. Personally I use weekends to relax and do homework and catch up on sleep. I plan to stay in school until he's here and once fall semester starts I'm going to try and get ahead since I'll be out for a while. And work until he gets here. @tlw1596

I feel ya, I would have worked up until I delivered if I could have. I planned on going back to college in the fall as well, but I realized if I took a class over summer that I could graduate before fall.. I'm all about people finishing college and getting a career even if they have a baby or a baby on the way
Brystal·
Yes. I'm glad someone else feels the same. You don't have to give up your dreams when you have kids. It's called balance. @tlw1596

That's what I said too. My mom said I would just waste my college degree by becoming a stay at home mom, but I want to have a career too
Brystal·
So do I. I would love to be at home until they start preschool/school. If it were possible. @tlw1596

I wish I could, but I can't. I am going to have to work at least part time sadly.
