As noted on Corporette on Monday, the Jones New York sale is still going on. So. many. machine. washable. pieces! I like the look of this purple print dress with cap sleeves (also available in a houndstooth print). It’s machine washable, looks wearable in both fall as well as spring, and might even be pump-friendly. The dress was $119, but is now marked to $19.50.

Ugh, ladies, I’m pregnant and my PT has let me know (and my ob will probably confirm this afternoon) that I’ve got a “separated rib”. Which basically means that my ribs have become detached from my sternum. I’m at 33 weeks and the pain is almost unbearable.
From what I can gather, there is nothing they can do other than advising rest, giving me some kind of brace, and prescribing narcotics, hoping that it will heal before I go into labor. I’m super nervous about taking narcotics but I’m also flummoxed about the next month– I started a new job about 5 months ago, and I love it, but I’m not super comfortable, say, going on full bedrest right now, since I want to take my full amount of paid leave after the kid is born. My employer is incredibly supportive, but I am still just scared and frustrated. How do I balance the risk of taking narcs (and working while on them?!) with the risk to our family’s livelihood if I don’t work?
Also, we have been planning an unmedicated birth, and this is making that seem unrealistic. I’ll hopefully know more after my ob visit today, but I thought I’d see if anyone has been through something similar or has words of wisdom.
I am still having milk production issues. I cannot pump enough to feed my bebe and my milk stash is nearly gone. I spoke with a group of physicians yesterday and, as a last ditch effort, they suggested stout beer. Has anyone tried this? Does it work? And can anyone recommend a good stout beer. I don’t drink beer AT ALL and, frankly, hate it. But I am desperate.
Looks like my comment got eaten earlier, so hopefully not double posting. Wondering what you would do if you had planned to go to a bachelorette party in the Caribbean (4 hours away), but are unexpectedly now pregnant and will be 13 weeks along during the trip. It is a two-night trip, and would be my first time away from my 1 year old. Doctor says it is ok, but I am a terrible flier on the best of days and have never flown before while pregnant. Also wondering if it is worth it given the short time and my inability to drink. Have trip insurance, so cancelling isn’t a financial concern. Thoughts?
Ladies, I could use a virtual hug today. Third day back at work, pumping sucks, and I miss my baby. That’s all.
This JNY sale is really great! I just got 3 pieces originally priced at $268 for $59! One was a $129 blazer for $29. Wow. Thanks for the tip!
Looking for some advice. A while back I had booked to go to a bachelorette party in the Caribbean, a four hour plane ride away. It is a two night trip. However, I am unexpectedly pregnant and will be 13 weeks along during the trip. I was so looking forward to the weekend away (I have a 1 year old and it will be my first trip away), but I’m not sure now if I should go. My doctor gave the ok, but I’m an anxious flier and will not be able to take anything, and I have never flown while pregnant. Plus, I won’t be able to drink and am afraid I’m going to be a drain on the party fun. What would you all do?
I have trip insurance, so cost isn’t really an issue, just a matter of whether I will enjoy it and whether it is worth it.
Maternity clothes help: are there any maternity jeans that won’t fall down throughout the day? I bought a full panel pair of skinny jeans from Motherhood Maternity in PM – I’m normally an 8 short. They started falling down within two hours of wear and it got really awkward and uncomfortable. Not really happy with the selection at Target and Can’t imagine spending the Pea in the Pod prices unless absolutely necessary. Any recommendations?
Good morning ladies. I am hoping for some advice or, at least, commiseration. I have been at my firm for 7 years now (with some time off for a baby or two). Earlier this year, I had the “you need to step it up” talk with my boss. I have been really trying to get better about hours, etc., since then. I have also been reading a bit about time management, and one book states to focus on your core competencies to be happy and fulfilled in your career and your life. In thinking about that I realized that I am not especially passionate about my career. I like parts of it, dislike others, but when I am at home with my family, I am not thinking about ways to change or better my practice. I need to find a way to fall back in love with my career, because I can’t afford not to! Anyone have any success stories in reinvigorating your career or, on the flip side, how to know when it’s time to look elsewhere? I appreciate your insight!
I love! Alas, limited sizing, and no plus sizes available.
