Bilobed placenta

Has anyone had this? Looks like the biggest risks are extra bleeding and retaining part of the placenta after birth. I’m trying to do a homebirth but wondering about the risk of making sure all of the placenta is out afterward.

Expired Test Result

We’ve been TTC for almost 2 years. This box of tests expired in September, I didn’t realize it until I was waiting for the result. I think I see a faint line… do you see it? And should I get my hopes up since it’s expired?
