SA2, I’m sorry that I hit a nerve. You are obviously welcome to have all the babies you’re willing to take on, despite the hardship before and after it. I wouldn’t of said that if I realized you were pregnant with your second - thoughtless joke. Congrats on your growing family.

A part of being in this group is to share experiences from expecting and experienced mothers. I shared mine. It doesn’t need to land with everyone. We all have different challenges. I wish more people were honest with me about all the realities of motherhood, not just the roses and pedals.

My first trimester fatigue got better around 13 weeks, but third trimester now and my fatigue is back with a vengeance (I developed anemia). Snacks, protein smoothies, making sure I’m hydrated, extra iron supplements, and making myself walk a little every day all help a little.

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?

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.
