[quote=Anonymous]I was an exec 20 years ago. I got pregnant and hid it for 6 months because I was up for promotion and the first-ever pregnancy in the department. When I finally told my bosses, one asked me if I was really sure about having kids. He said it causes a big change in lifestyle and could hurt my career. I was 6 months preggers and sitting across the desk from him. It was insane. Being a working mom was hard. We leaned on a circle of friends and a rotating army of babysitters to help us juggle and cover for late nights, work trips and keep our heads above water. I had nowhere to pump, and struggled at security checkpoints in the post 9/11 TSA that feared all liquids. The work place is much nicer now. The Gen Z and millenials have no idea. [/quote]
