I'm 3 weeks away from going on maternity leave and am struggling to be productive right now. I feel like pregnancy hormones are literally frying my brain and it's so difficult to stay focused on complex technical work. Not to mention every other debilitating 3rd trimester symptom 😭
Any other pregnant techies here that can relate? How are you getting through the last sprint before leave?

When my wife went into labor, my whole team yelled at me for just not going dark till I knew everything was OK. (I logged on to let my manager/scrum master know I’m gonna be MIA for like a few days).
Pregnancy brain is real.
Take vacation sick day, unpaid leave anything.
It's 100% not worth to push thru especially if you work for your company
Nothing will happen to sprint work or Amazon but something will happen to you and baby.
Edit: had a baby while I worked at Amazon (I'm dad)
