Anyone else prescribed a higher dosage of vitamin D at their 12 week appointment before receiving blood test results ?

Apparently it’s been recently advised for pregnant women to take higher dosages of vitamin D throughout thier pregnancy

Was my MIL saying I have a flat ass??

My MIL came over yesterday and I guess noticed I look like I’ve been working out and gave me a compliment.
I know that I don’t have much of a butt though (thanks breastfeeding.)
So she asked me if I follow a certain fitness girl on IG, she said “you should really check her out she has the best glute exercises.” I was like okay cool thanks.
Then this morning she went ahead and forwarded me the girl’s IG page and said “some cool things to try here.”

Am I crazy to think she was trying to tell me to work out my butt more 😅

Put off meals

Anyone else can’t stand what used to be their favourite meals? I used to love fajitas and the thought of them makes me feel sick now 🤣🤣 so strange!

At home workouts

I’m 2months pp and want to get my strength and fitness back. I’ve been on a couple of runs on the weekend when my partner has baby, but does anyone have any advice for how I can workout in the week with a clingy baby? She contact naps in the day so I struggle to have more than 30mins to myself!

Meal prep

First time mom and I've heard lots about how meal prepping freezer meals now before baby comes is a life saver for post partum but despite my best efforts, I'm having trouble finding recipes for things that will hold up in the freezer.... so far I have lasagna, chili and chicken pot pie. I'll be delivering in August so not wanting a ton of soup options because of the heat. Ideas? Please include your favorite recipes! Thanks

Any dancer mums here ?

Are you able to keep up with any kind of dancing with your bub? My little boy is 5 months old now and I’d really like to do a bit of dancing every now and again - nothing major just running through an old routine at home or doing a few drills but I’m finding this so impossible! Life is so unpredictable I never know if I have 10minutes or and hour free when I’m watching him and tbh any free time I have while he’s playing or napping I try to eat or rest.
When I have others watching him, they use the dining room which is the only real space I can dance in.
What do other dancers do? I really would love to be able to do even a little bit of dance once in a while to lift my spirits and move my body again

Low salt chicken stock

Where can I get some from? I’ve looked everywhere but everywhere seems to be just standard, on days like today I don’t have time to make stock/broth and I need a quick dinner for all of us so was thinking a chicken risotto but where do I get them stock from

Pregnancy vitamins

Which supplements are you all taking? Idk why but I get so confused with it. I had a mmc last year so feel like I’ve got to take the best/most expensive supplements to ease my anxiety. If I take pregnancy vitamins instead of just folic acid alone do I need to take extra vitamin d or is there enough included in those. And then will take omega 3 as well.

Working out

Heyyy
Just looking for tips lol
I’ve been working out for 3 weeks not consistently but about 3 times a week with 10-15 minutes of inclined walking on a treadmill. Today I hit legs and my ass was sore before dinner lol

Does anyone have any good tips on recovering after working out? Or any supplements I should be taking to increase weight loss and promote muscle?

Also if anyone has any diet recommendations that would be absolutely amazing and greatly appreciated 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Outdoor workout for mom and baby/toddler

Hi moms,

I’m considering offering a Mom & Baby/Toddler outdoor fitness class in Gatineau this summer.

The idea would be a 45-minute workout in the park where babies and toddlers are welcome, followed by a few minutes to connect with other moms.

This is a PWYC basis. My goal is to encourage moms to be active, enjoy the outdoors, and connect 🥰🙌

Al levels are welcome. This is to encourage movement and have FUN!

Would this interest anyone?

If yes, what days and times would work best? I’m thinking Saturday/Sunday mornings and maybe 1-2 evenings during the week.

Let me know!
