Week 12 of One Extra Year is out (aka we almost made it through the 1st trimester)! For more pregnancy maths, read this week’s incredible and harrowing journey by @InaSimonovska. "So, if we were only evaluated on the basis of teaching, in the worst case scenario of my first kid, I would’ve needed at least 3 extra months due to physical constraints. But, we get evaluated based on research. And for that, #1 #2 of active brain fog purely caused by hormones during pregnancy and breastfeeding would mean 29 months." Thank you so much for sharing your very personal story! oneextrayear.substack.com/p/…
