" I cherished my relationship with my supervisor and non-live-on colleague who was experiencing
pregnancy and preparing for leave alongside me. Our journeys were different, but it felt good to
connect on similar experiences being pregnant. It was also insightful to learn and support each other
in our different experiences in our pregnancy journey.
We chose to adapt together. I created a list of things I knew needed to be addressed regarding
support of my community and those I supervised and advised thanks to previous experience with
my first child. My supervisor and a non-live on housing colleague who was also a mom and pregnant
again too, reviewed and added other things I had not considered because of this institution and
department being exponentially larger and more bureaucratic. Weekly we worked together to
ensure when I was away, my community and team would still thrive and be supported in my absence.
One of the most important things I did was reasonably keep my team of graduate and
undergraduate students in the loop. This was new to them, and they were seeing me change and
grow and prepare to be away and return in real time. I created a document for my graduate assistant
and team, and happily answered questions as the trimesters passed by. Sometimes it was annoying
and sometimes it was comical and gratifying the questions they would ask, along with the comments
they'd make. None of my supervisees and advisees had had a previous supervisor who was live-in
and pregnant, so we were all adapting, and learning, and trusting a created network of others who
would step up and step in during my leave.
I shared the document with my colleagues and ultimately the department so they would be
knowledgeable in case I was not the last team member to experience this journey. I informed them
that it should be living-breathing. I had moments of feeling like I was letting certain individuals
down, however, I had colleagues who were amazingly supportive and reassuring that they had my
back even though it was new to them as well.
I made up my mind to move in confidence and make peace with being the first. I shared that I
was not always confident in what I was making sense of, and this helped me to strengthen my
relationships with colleagues, while others became more distanced because of how our connections
were established. "
