6 Things No One Told Me About Being Pregnant - Cubicle Chic

6 Things No One Told Me About Being Pregnant - Cubicle Chic 6 Things No One Told Me About Being Pregnant Health Life, Pregnancy June 1, 2018 6 CommentsDress: Dailylook Elite (use CUBICLECHIC20 to get 20% off your first box!);  Handbag: Palla Handbag  As we go through life, we cross important milestones that mark different stages of life. Puberty, going to college, falling in love, working your first job, getting married, raising kids, and getting old… are all important phases that we encounter. We often hear about what it’s like to be in a particular stage that we are about to enter, and we build up anticipation, get ready, so we can transition smoothly into and get the most out of each stage.As naïve as I was, I thought pregnancy was going to be one of these milestones. I thought, mistakenly in hindsight, that I would just naturally slide into being pregnant and smoothly navigate out of it. Boy, was I wrong.Oh, by the way, in case you haven’t guessed it â€" yes, we are pregnant! As of the writing of this blog post, I am around 4 months pregnant. It’s been quite a ride, let me tell you. First off, if you’re a long-time reader, you probably sensed something from my lack of productivity (i.e. lack of published blog posts) in the month of March all the way to this month. I even left my full-time job in February to focus on my blog. On top of that, my Instagram activities have plummeted to an all-time low. All of this is to say that the pregnancy was a curveball that life threw at me. I can’t say that I was prepared for it.But then again, how prepared are we for most things that happen in life, amirite? So, in the spirit of sharing the most honest, straight-forward, non-sugar-coated truth, here are 6 things that no one told me about being pregnant.Your Body Is No Longer Just YoursThis is probably the most disturbing and unsettling realization I had. We own our body like we own nothing else in the world â€" it’s OURS, and we do whatever we want with it. If you want to workout every day and be on a keto diet so you look like The Rock, you can. Alternative ly, if you want to sit in front of the TV and eat pizza every day (and look like The Potato or whatever the opposite of The Rock is…), hey, you also can. You can pop a painkiller when you have an ache here or there, and you can deny yourself of a good night sleep in the name of YOLO. Guess what? When you’re pregnant, you can’t do any of that (or have to proceed with a lot of caution). Most importantly, you’re no longer the only person in control in how you feel, physically and mentally. Out of nowhere, you will feel like someone just drained your battery and that you HAVE TO lie down. The urgency to go pee all the time is also something that makes you wonder “has someone been injecting water into my bladder without me knowing??“Dress: Dailylook Elite (use CUBICLECHIC20 to get 20% off your first box!);  Handbag: Palla HandbagYou May Not Feel A Shred Of Joy, Happy Anticipation, Or Even Hope.This was by far my biggest struggle. Like many of you, I have friends that have gon e through the pain of IVF. The blogosphere also saw a recent flux of bloggers opening up about the difficult journey of trying to get pregnant (see Lace and Locks and Extra Petite’s stories). I KNOW this is a difficult subject and process for many people. I should be grateful towards how easy it was for me to conceive. But when people ask me how I felt when I first became pregnant, all I could say was that I felt like my future was stolen from me. I made plans, very specific plans, to leave the corporate 9-5 life and focus on my blog and turn it into what I know it has the potential to be. Spending 18 hours in bed and feeling not a bit of motivation to do anything (including getting out of bed) was not how I planned on spending the first month of my entrepreneurial life. On top of that, I was a wreck because of the hormonal changes. I’ve experienced bouts of clinical depression before, so I know when my symptoms set in. Literally, on some mornings I would wake up and I just feel like the world has taken on a layer of grayish gloom. Given my past experiences, I know it’s hormones affecting me. Yet knowing the cause of it doesn’t change the way I felt. On those days, I would remind myself to take it easy, allow myself to feel what I was feeling, and work on being OK. After all, it’s reported that between 14-23% of women struggle with some symptoms of depression during pregnancy. One motto that helped me a lot during this time was this: It’s hard, it’s normal, and it will change. I repeated it to myself over and over again.Your First Few OB Appointment Will Be Somewhat Underwhelming.I still remember the first time I saw the ultrasound of my 5-week-old fetus (I couldn’t really call her a baby at that point â€" she barely looked human!). I was thinking in my head “THAT is supposed to be the bundle of joy that all women rave about? This is such a scam.” I mean really, at that point, the “fetus” was merely a gestational sac, basically a lump o f cells in a sac of some sort. Yes, I heard the heartbeat through the ultrasound, but in my head, it sounded like seaweed floating in the ocean. It did not sound like a lifetime of emotional ups and downs and the most fulfilling human experience ever. Maybe I expected too much. But I walked out of the first and second appointments feeling underwhelmed. OH, BY THE WAY, the first two ultrasounds  are done ENDOVAGINALLY. It means they stick the ultrasound wand up your va-jay-jay to check on the baby. It’s not worse than a pap-smear but GOSH why didn’t anyone tell me about this?? I wasn’t mentally prepared to take my panties off and get in one of those humiliating women’s hospital gowns that leaves you butt-naked. But I did. *SIGH*Dress: Dailylook Elite (use CUBICLECHIC20 to get 20% off your first box!);  Handbag: Palla Handbag  You Start Questioning The Root Of Your Beliefs, Values, And Foundational Understanding Of Things And Wonder Where They Came From.Who am I to bring anoth er human being into the world? I barely have a handle on my own issues, how am I going to help another little human prepare for the experiences, difficult or beautiful, of life? How do I teach her from knowing right from wrong, good from bad, and everything   else so she can make good decisions? Heck, how did I come to learn to know these things about life and decision making? Did my parents consciously teach them to me, or did they just showed me what was good by embodying those principles? Each and every doubt and question in my head is the beginning of its own rabbit hole. Not to mention the whole nature vs. nurture debate. What kind of personality is she going to have? Is she going to question every decision I make for her the way that I question my mom’s decision for me? (The answer is probably yes. Because KARMA.) What scares me the most is that they say parenting is caught not taught. So, you are going to want to consciously teach your kids certain things, prevent them from doing certain things. But there are the things that you are unconsciously doing that your kids will model their behavior after without you realizing.   That scares the shit out of me.A Case Of Identity Crisis BeginsGrowing up, I was never one to play with dolls and pretend to be a mom or have baby names picked out at age 12. I actually openly talked about my aversion towards kids. My excuse/reason is that kids don’t like me. I don’t know why. I also had a serious case of infant phobia. Yes, I invented the name but the condition is real â€" I was so scared of handling young babies!! The seemingly conflicting thing is, I have always known that I was going to have kids. Even though I don’t particularly look forward to handling a newborn/toddler/pre-teen and whatever monster they turn into after that point, I knew having and raising kids is an irreplaceable experience in life. But man oh man, motherhood is a loaded word that I am a. scared of b. don’t care for c. don’t know h ow to (or don’t want to) prioritize against other roles that I play in life. You see, being a (great) mother was not something I particularly aspired to be in life. I am not one of those people whose identity rests on the fact that they produced and raised another human being. This isn’t to diminish the hard work and difficulty of motherhood; it simply shows how little it means to me in my life journey. Yet, here I was, at the onset of burgeoning motherhood. Who am I going to be as a mother, how am I going to be as a mother, and lastly why am I becoming a mother…these questions hover in my head when I lie wide awake in the middle of the night due to, you guessed it, hormones.Thank goodness for blog posts like 10 Reasons I Still Feel Like Myself While Being a Mom. It gives me SO much to look forward to and allows me to believe that there are elements that I can control in terms of how my identity evolves, instead of being dragged into this baby-raising hell that will forever ch ange who I am.Dress: Dailylook Elite (use CUBICLECHIC20 to get 20% off your first box!);  Handbag: Palla Handbag  The Struggle With Body Image Is Real.This is probably a blog post entirely on its own. I won’t divulge too much here because it’s quite a dark place. But my ever-changing body during pregnancy has NOT left me feeling joyful and excited. I do not have the body type that enables the body to stay the same while only the belly swells. I, my whole person, swelled. And to call this swelling is putting it nicely. The weight gain combined with major lack of energy made me feel like a lazy bum. All of a sudden, I was watching my 600-Pound Life with this new-found empathy. When your weight changes (for the worse) uncontrollably, it’s a terrible feeling. None of my clothes fit anymore, including underwear. I was hesitant to buy new things for my new body because I didn’t know how much more it was going to change. I ended up buying some leggings and maternity tee-shirts thro ugh PinkBlush and I am OH-SO-IN-LOVE.I will probably write another stand-alone blog post on this topic alone. Is that something you would find interesting?ConclusionI’d like to apologize if I came across as negative at all in this post. It’s something that I am quite conscious of. My intention in divulging on the not-so-joyful details is to share the realities that I don’t think enough people talk about. And more importantly, if you are pregnant and feeling the same way that I feel, you are not alone. Definitely do not feel ashamed of your questions, doubts, and questions that you haven’t heard anyone else asked. You don’t hear about them asking these questions because they’re hard to answer.Remember, each woman’s pregnant journey is unique and uniquely difficult. Your difficulty should be at least acknowledged if not understood. For those of you who are echoing my sentiment, I want you to know that you are not alone.Dress: Dailylook Elite (use CUBICLECHIC20 to get 20% off your first box!);  Handbag: Palla HandbagDress: Dailylook Elite (use CUBICLECHIC20 to get 20% off your first box!);  Handbag: Palla HandbagAll photography by Natalie Alvarado @ Stylenfuse

What About the Cover Letter Should You Include One

What About the Cover Letter Should You Include One Should I include a cover letter? Is it really necessary? Its a common question job seekers ask and one you should be asking too! The short answer is YES! You should always include a cover letter. Years ago, when you mailed your cover letter and resume, you knew the cover letter would be seen.  Depending on the individual preference of the person screening/receiving the packet, your cover letter would either get read or not. While we are no longer mailing a hard copy of our documents, some recruiters still expect to see one.   Heres why! Your cover letter demonstrates your interest in the company and job.   It  may sound like an  old fashioned  protocol, but  you should still do it, whether the employer asks for it or not.   When Applying Online When  applying  online, sometimes there isnt a specific spot to upload a cover letter.   If there is a separate area to upload your cover letter, do so there! But if there isnt a spot for a cover letter, you have three choices: Upload it with your resume file as the first page. Not only does it help with any missing keywords but, it also helps ensure the recruiter will see it. Send your cover letter and email to the hiring manager and make sure it is all in one document. (The cover letter is page one, your resume would be pages two and three) And name your document as [your name job title applying for]. Dont send one it all (not recommended) Purpose of Your Cover Letter Because the resume has been changed to meet the requirements of the job, the purpose of the cover letter is to: Explain why you want to work at that companySummarize the most important qualificationsThank them for their time and state your intentions to follow up (whenever possible) For more details and examples check out these articles: 5 Ways To Customize the Dreaded Cover Letter Can We Talk About Your Cover Letter? But My Resume Explains My Qualifications If youve gone through the trouble to customize your resume, then what do you put in the cover letter? The purpose of the cover letter is to explain why you are interested and qualified for the role. This is something that your resume alone cant convey! When there are many similarly qualified candidates applying for the same job, what can you do to set yourself apart? Explain why you want the job! Will It Get Read? With the extreme demands on time and the electronic processing of resumes, you cant be sure what is going to happen to your cover letter.   Always send a cover letter because there are enough people out there reviewing resumes who are want to see it and sometimes wont read a resume unless it is accompanied by a cover letter. But Theyll Always Read Your Resume Today, you cant make someone read your cover letter.     So if you have critical qualifications but you only mention them in the cover letter, what happens if the letter doesnt get read? They wont know about those qualifications. And this is why you must customize your resume for every job you apply to. Read Easily Match Your Resume To The Job Posting

Is it time to quit your job Heres how to tell. - When I Grow Up

Is it time to quit your job Heres how to tell. - When I Grow Up As The When I Grow Up Coach, Ive heard it all when it comes to deplorable work situations. Quotas that are impossible to reach. Being spoken to in a way that counts as verbal abuse. Bad reviews that come without merit or explanation. Sexual harassment that has no consequences. But despite obviously toxic work environments, you hear a voice in the back of your mind that says, But I need the money! And how will I ever find something else in this economy? I should feel grateful for this job! The devil I  know is better than the one I dont, thats for sure! And so you hang in there while your soul gets sucked and your energy depletes and you become a non-stop bitching machine. And you wonder, Should I jump ship? Heres how you know its quitting time: You have The Uh-Oh Feeling.  The Uh-Oh Feeling  is that  sensation you get in your gut when you know something’s wrong, even if you can’t figure out exactly what it is. You dont have to pinpoint the cause of that sixth sense just having it says enough about what youre (not) getting from your job. This is also true for a situation where you weigh out the Pros Cons, and even though the Pros win, the Cons feel so heavy you think they should count more. On paper, your job may seem to be great (or at least better than the alternative) but in your gut, something is very, very wrong. You feel physically ill.  My breaking point came one morning when I was on my way to a  job I had that came with a verbally abusive boss. I was about a year in when  I had to run off the train during rush hour at Union Square which is one of the busiest subway stops in NYC to stand over a wastebasket.  It was totally embarrassing and really gross to be dry heaving into an overflowing wastebasket in the middle of rush hour on a super crowded subway platform, so I figured I must’ve been really sick. I decided to walk the extra dozen blocks to work from there so I could pick up my laptop and then go work from home. The second I left work with my laptop, I felt fine.  Your unease and unhappiness might take  a different physical form, so be aware of whats hurting, when, and how often and I bet it wont be too tough to connect the dots. Its all-consuming.  If you find that all youre mustering up the energy to do is wake up, go to work, come home, veg on the couch, watch TV and complain and then you rinse and repeat for 4 more days thats a bad sign. Its a  really bad sign if it spills into your weekend, where youre lagging on Saturday and then feeling anxious on Sunday.  That means your whole life is revolving around this job, and even your personal time isnt  your own. Youve turned into someone you dont like.  My very own husband talked about this on my podcast. He knew it was time to go freelance when he found himself being short and frustrated too often with his colleagues, and complaining  about work too often with his friends and family. He didnt want to be that person, and he knew he had to take himself out of that situation. His mindset and stress level shifted exponentially when he started working mostly from home, as well as  project-by-project. Your family knows how unhappy you are, and you have their emotional and financial support. I get it were all independent and dont want to rely on anyone else. But when youre  this unhappywhen it shows up as stomachaches and nightmares and anxiety and crying jags and depressionthen let your family help you. Thats what they signed up for! Lean on them, remembering that its only temporary and taking action daily to find a new job and/or launch your business. Youll be back to bringing in the bucks in no time. If these sound like you, then make sure you join me for Ditch Your Day Job next week on CreativeLive by RSVPing here. Itll be free to watch while its streaming on June 11th 12th, and theres still time to get personalized help as part of my small studio audience!
