Thorne prenatals and DHA are great

like

I use Smarty Pants prenatals. They have a clean label project purity award and are quite tasty. Plus you can buy them on Amazon and have them auto-ship every month!

I took Theranatal Complete, which was recommended by my fertility doctor.

I use Ritual but my doctor said they’re all the same (incl like Costco) so don’t stress!

I use nature valley

My wife took Needed and Thorne prenatals.

It took a few months to conceive our second, so I took a men's multivitamin from WeNatal. Can't say if it did anything, but we did conceive right at about 4 weeks of me taking them. Dudes can't do a ton, but our health and nutrition matters too.

Thanks I really need to do better too. Not at my healthiest

I take Fullwell, also Needed. I like Thorn brand too.

My fancy, holistically focused, try the natural remedy first OB said that prenatals are all the same as long as they have enough folic acid in them. Said don’t go for the fancy ones because they’re a scam.

I used the vitafusion gummies because they don’t have iron (iron made me nauseous).

I used Smarty Pants (they taste great and don’t have iron, which made me nauseous) was for my standard prenatal and Ritual for Choline.

Make sure you pick one that has folic acid not folate

I took Thorne Basic Prenatal. I could only tolerate that

I take a prenatal and DHA supplement. Early on when I couldn’t stomach eating eggs I also took an additional choline supplement from Ritual. See my recommendations below. I’m on my 2nd pregnancy and followed the same regime for my first and he is brilliant!

Megafood baby & me 2 prenatal (has choline, which MANY prenatals don’t have or only contain insignificant amounts of as a marketing tactic) + Nordic Naturals prenatal DHA

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

There’s a debit card that I’ve been using for the past 4 years and it beats out some of the cash back credit cards. It’s the Cash app debit card. I haven’t heard people talk about it in the card community and it could save people a bit of money - 10% cash back. I posted about it on my Instagram HerMillennialMoney if you want to learn my tips and tricks with the care.

I've a question on what sections to put on a regular resume. I see some people are using consulting style resume for outside companies as well.

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.
