Is anyone planning on placenta encapsulation? How did you decide and what company are you using?

No, I’m not against it but technically your placenta filters out all of the ‘bad stuff’ for the baby and they have found microplastics in it so I don’t see a benefit to consume it. The only reasons animals do it is because it can attract prey. I might bury it in my garden and plant a tree or something though!

My wife did. Her doula personally knew a few people that encapsulated locally as the birthing services community is pretty tight knit.

She was interested bc she felt really susceptible to PPD and figured there was no risk in such a straightforward hormonal aid. Her review on it would be that it worked for the first baby, but not our second.

Imo, it probably didn't do anything, but it certainly didn't hurt either. You should do it if you think it would be helpful for you.

Been with Big Four advisory (GRC) for 10 years. Really tired of meaningless “consulting” and commoditized implementations. Recently been through a rough job search and finally landed an offer with a mid size bank in their risk practice. People say that the culture there is quite political and bitter but I’ll learn a heck lot and get a new opening on my resume. Salary is the same. The other option is to take a consulting job that pays me 50k more but do the same work! Thoughts? Thanks!

Trying to set family expectations and would love thoughts on 2 things. 1. How long after baby will I be ready for visitors beyond our parents? I’m thinking a few weeks. 2. Our 3 grandmothers are 1-3 hour flights away (3 diff places) and cannot travel. When will we be ready to take baby to see them? I’m thinking 4-6 months but that would also be flu/RSV season. Can’t predict the future but family is already talking about trips and I want to set expectations and do what is best for baby. TIA!!

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks.

I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

Hi everyone,
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.
