Do you still see your PCP

While you’re pregnant, are you still visiting your pcp for any reasons? I was supposed to have a well check up before I got pregnant that I never showed up due to my insurance lapsing but by the time I got my insurance back, I was pregnant. 🤷🏽‍♀️ what’s your experience with this, if any?

wfh job available

There’s a wfh job that will pay you based on your expertise. For example, if you majored in biology then you can get up to 50/hour tasking. The only requirement is a LinkedIn profile and/or 3 years of higher education I believe. Drop your name and email to be referred. :)

Does anyone manage to put any money away in savings?

I feel like I’m living pay check to pay check. I would say I have a decent wage, had a significant pay rise but it still doesn’t help. Bills get higher and higher. Hardly any money leftover. Now relying on my credit card. Is this what everyone’s going through?
