Seraphine Polka Dot Mock Wrap Maternity Dress | CorporetteI always associate Kate Middleton with the brand Seraphine — I believe she’s worn a ton of their dresses during her pregnancies — and I like this springy wrap dress. This navy polka dot version (also the cobalt) version looks classic, flattering, and lovely. It’s $89-$95 at Amazon. Seraphine Polka Dot Mock Wrap Maternity Dress

Going back to work next Monday after 8 weeks of maternity leave. I received a promotion right before I went on leave so going back to a new job. Starting to get nervous…juggling a new job and a kid! Any recommendations or tips for a morning routine?

Any ideas on camis for maternity wrap dresses? I do not need another layer over my belly, but wrap necklines are too low for my obscenely large (for my tastes) pregnant b**bs.

Bah, I thought I was doing okay with the transition back to work, but a month in and I’m missing my baby. Which means I’m not as focused at work, so I can’t get out of here on the early side to go pick her up.

And this is totally contradictory to the way I felt yesterday afternoon, when I told my husband that I didn’t want him and the baby to come with me when I went to the mall for an hour. He didn’t take it well, but was over his snit when got home. Baby slept the whole time. And I got done what I needed and wanted to get done.

We all know pumping is the worst, but did anyone feel sad to stop? I’m doing an offsite training next week, and I told myself if I got into the course I would stop pumping that week. My baby will be 11 months, I’m down to 1 session a day anyway, and the facility has given me a really hard time about pumping accommodations in the past. I should be ecstatic to be done, but I just feel like I want to cry.

I will be 12 weeks on Thursday. I am STILL suffering with this “all day sickness.” I’ve tried everything. Zofran, all forms of ginger, preggie pops, crackers, fruit, cheeze its, water, gatorade, jasmine tea….OJ…cranberry juice…

Nothing works. Some days I’m ok and I can get 1 or maybe 1.5 meals in me, other days (like today) not even water wants to stay in. Of course, I saw some inconclusive evidence online that Zofran may not be the best idea in the first trimester (unconfirmed, but the FDA is now also warning it can cause serotonin syndrome, which I really don’t want!).

I’m a mess. I’m too tired to be at work, but I’m here because I have a lot to do and the other attorney that is supposed to support me ISN’T, and gives me a really hard time when I work from home even though I have an accommodation on file that work from home is fine. I’m just trying to grit my teeth and make it a couple more weeks and hope this goes away!

My provider requests that we send 4 4-oz bottles. Our son will have between 3-4 bottles from 7:30-5:30 (I nurse before/after drop off and pick up). Any unused bottles go back the next day.

If you’re breastfeeding, how did you know how much milk to put in the bottles for the dcp?

Gorgeous!

I have a Seraphine dress that I love. It’s really comfortable and flattering, and not too body con.

I have this dress in 3/4 sleeve and I. Love. It. It hits that nice balance of defining my belly without being totally body con. (Nothing wrong with body con, I like those dresses too, but I think this one is nice for most workplaces because it’s not too clingy.) I took my pre-preg size (which in turn has been consistent with all other Seraphine dresses I’ve tried/purchased).

Well I had a pregnancy adventure this weekend. I had food poisoning at 31 weeks. Well, silver lining… at least I know the procedure for checking in to the hospital…
