Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk to your boss if necessary. Tell your social circle. Make a big social media announcement.

Answer: If you’re planning to stay at your job during your pregnancy, you should talk to your supervisor as soon as you’re comfortable doing so. Your boss may need to plan ahead to cover your work while you’re out, and it may take time for parental leave to be activated. Be businesslike and professional during the conversation. It’s okay to just say “I’m pregnant, so we’ll need to find a way to allocate my responsibilities in the coming months.”  Your boss should be the first person at work to find out--it could be bad for your career if they find out through the grapevine. In most countries, it’s illegal to fire or demote workers because of pregnancy. If this happens to you, call a lawyer right away. After you’ve told your closest friends and family, tell the rest of your social circle--the people you see regularly but aren’t best friends with. You can make this a casual announcement at any of your get-togethers, but you can also throw a party just to tell everyone! Let the rest of the world in on your news by making an announcement on social media! It doesn’t have to be fancy or anything--you can just announce that you’re pregnant and post the due date.  Try posting a photo of baby shoes, your ultrasound, or a tiny version of one of your favorite things. For example, if you and your partner love baseball, you can post a picture of two regular gloves and a tiny glove in the middle. Don’t talk about problems with your partner or family in the announcement. Nobody in your inner circle should find out about your pregnancy from social media! A good rule of thumb is that if you want to tag somebody in the announcement or in comments, you should already have told them individually. You don’t have to announce it on social media at all if you don’t want to.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid drinking soda. Stay away from chocolate and caffeine. Don’t eat greasy, fried or fatty foods. Avoid high acid foods. Keep away from spicy or highly seasoned foods. Don’t drink alcohol.

Answer:
Carbonization can contribute to gas—not something you want when you already have stomach discomfort. Additionally, soda often contains citric acid and sodium benzoate. These chemicals can bother a sensitive stomach, so it’s best not to drink soda when you don’t feel well. These substances can really irritate your stomach and contribute to acid reflux along with loose stools. Chocolate may also contain milk or nuts which are not easy to digest for many people. It’s a good idea to stay away from chocolate and items with caffeine, such as coffee or energy drinks, when your stomach is upset. High fat foods can contribute to bloating and make you feel really full. Fatty foods include meats, soft cheeses and fried, oily foods like french fries. These foods will probably make you feel even worse, so don’t eat them when your stomach is upset. Foods that contain a lot of acid like citrus and tomatoes can make acid reflex feel more intense, which may intensify your pain. They can also be irritating to a stomach that is upset. Avoid things like spaghetti sauce, orange juice and other tomato products while your stomach hurts. These foods can be irritating and contribute to nausea. However, if you are used to eating spicy foods, then eating them with an upset stomach might not cause as many problems for you than for someone who is not used to them. Just be careful when you start to eat spicy foods again that your stomach does not react negatively. Alcohol can contribute to acids in your stomach. Additionally, alcohol is difficult to digest and metabolize and may really irritate your stomach. It is best for you and your stomach that you do not drink alcohol when your stomach hurts or you are already nauseated.
