During this session, we discussed how to communicate your pregnancy with your employers and clients to ensure a smooth transition into motherhood. You deserve to have uninterrupted time with your child, and this session will help you sort out the logistics (like planning for leave) to make it happen.

We also covered topics like struggles and fears around being a new mom (especially as it concerns infertility and miscarriages, something I’ve struggled with myself), and navigating the uncertainty that comes with pregnancy. 

In this session, we discussed the challenges that come with maternity leave, which include: 

• Struggling with self-worth in light of being away from work
• Navigating recovery and unexpected issues post-pregnancy
• The difficulties of identifying what we want and need post-pregnancy 
• The sheer joys that come with motherhood

During this meeting we talked about the challenges new moms face when coming back to work, like breastfeeding and pumping, employer support, and juggling the responsibilities of motherhood and work.

This live session will connect you with other women professionals who are going to grow or have grown a family. We’ll start with a live Q+A session, followed by breakout sessions, and then we’ll come back together to wrap it all up and touch on any lingering thoughts or concerns. 

Zoom breakout groups include:

• Planning for maternity someday
• Navigating Infertility and loss
• Currently pregnant and preparing for maternity leave
• Working moms who have reentered the workforce
