    Thanks Stefani. I work for a large company. I'd like to talk to my boss before I talk to HR because I'd hate for him to hear from anyone other than me of my request. Does HR have to keep any discussio more »

    I should add that we do have a PnP and that I think it is a "must have" baby item (and I think a lot of baby/kid stuff is totally unnecessary). We now keep ours in the trunk of our car so we have it f more »

    Thanks MissWolff. That is reassuring. It's hard because I've read that it's normal but also can be the first sign of miscarriage or eptopic pregnancy.  As far as having no symptoms, I honestly had zer more »
