- The Muse gives tips on getting a job interview when you don’t meet all the job requirements.
- Quartz has an essay about how pregnancy has gone from a condition that led to “pregnant women … shrouded in capes or sequestered in their homes” to an unwilling performance, an excuse for others to share their comments and judgment.
- A Hellobee blogger shares her experiences pumping during work travel.

- NPR reports on the safety of acetaminophen during pregnancy — a new study found that behavioral problems were more common among children of women who took acetaminophen, but a closer look at the data puts that into question. “[T]he risk in this study generally faded — or even disappeared entirely — when adjusted for smoking, drinking and reported psychiatric problems.”
- Meanwhile, The New York Times reports on a large study that found taking antipsychotics like Seroquel or Abilify during the first trimester did not cause birth defects.
