[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I came here for guidance not only because I am in my first trimester, and afraid of the repercussions of disclosing my pregnancy too soon, [b]I am the only woman partner to be pregnant in this BIGLAW firm in many many years (if ever, that is). [/b] I am entirely surrounded by men, and the partnership agreement does not specify how a woman in my situation will be treated. I am the chief financial support for my family, and am worried about how to continue providing for them given the uncertainty about how I will be "handled" by the firm. [/quote] I am a biglaw partner and I find this shocking. I won't defend biglaw, argue that it's family friendly, offers equal opportunity to women, etc.--but what biglaw firm has not had a pregnant partner "in my many years if ever"? Do you mean in your group?[/quote]
