Iron rich foods

Can you give me some suggestions of iron rich foods apart from the standard green leafy veg and red meat? Any surprising iron rich foods that might be really easy to incorporate into my diet?

Do be careful with liver. It’s iron rich, but not advised in pregnancy due to high amounts of vitamin a which can be dangerous for baby.

Thanks guys- not a big meat eater so it’s difficult for me and I seem to be getting more anaemic as time goes on regardless of taking the iron tablets and floradix …

I have to have IV iron transfusions weekly due to my levels at hospital, but this is due to me having IBD! I’m here right now having one 🥰

30 hours free funding

So I’m aiming to go back to work when my youngest is 9 or 10 months. So that would be December/ January time. My eldest is 3.5 years old and unfortunately was unable to qualify for the 30 hours this year as I was out of work due to maternity leave. ( I also didn’t qualify for maternity leave from work as I wasn’t working there long enough🥴)
I was just wondering when do I need to check that I’m eligible and request funding for both? Is there a time frame to put in for it. Or is there anyone I can ask or a number to call to talk to them about my questions?

Please help

So I recently found out that my bd is having sex with multiple women one who he used to cheat on me with and he just doesn’t care and I’m hurting so so bad I’m 7 months pregnant and these are what I found and what he said to me when I found out mind you our baby shower was the day before he was lying about where he was and I kept asking him if he was having sex or if he was seeing other people because I had told him I’m not gonna have sex with you if you’re having sex with other people because you can get me sick which by the way TMI I ended up getting BV and he’s denying that he gave that to me because he said you can’t get BV from someone having sex with other people and I’m like yes you can if you’re raw dogging other people and then raw dogging me and I had said it would be a lot different if you would’ve just been honest with me upfront and the stuff he’s saying about like getting back together. He sat in my face and told me that we could get back together just not right now and like we were hanging out every single day like he was around me, rubbing my stomach, kissing on me, kissing on my belly we were planning to go to Cabo like pretty much doing everything that you would do in a relationship without the title of a relationship and keep in mind, I was also paying for everything too, so I was basically taking care of him and all he was doing was supplementing me penis and he talks to me like this every time he has gotten caught but to the girls he was messing with they get baby and I love you and all this other stuff and when he says like personal information, he’s talking about sending one of the girls a screenshot of the messages. He was texting some other girl because I had texted one of the girls asking her if she was messing with him because if she was, I didn’t want any parts with him anymore, and I was just asking her questions and so I had sent her screenshots of him messing with other women and telling her that he had given me BV because my vagina was off and I was just telling her and asking her how long it’s been going on so it wasn’t like I was out here sending any of his other stuff and when he was saying like before, it’s pretty much the same thing like except for when we were together and he cheated on me I sent two girls a screenshot of him texting me proving to them he and I were together and that I was pregnant and stuff. I’m actually extremely depressed tbh like this time has hit harder than before and idk what to do I’m 30 weeks and 6 days and I’m hurting soo badly like a lot and my daughter is also hurt and idk how to explain to her that her step dad isn’t gonna come around anymore. Idk what to do this is just one of many and when I found out and I told him that he was gross for what he did to us, he said to shut up and that he doesn’t care

Stranger in the park

Hi all!

I just wanted to post to see others thoughts on this situation. It is a long read but would really appreciate it if you read it all!

Today I took my LB (9 months) to the park, this park is massive there’s a kids section off to the side kinda behind trees. And then you through the gate and across a mini bridge and there’s a massive field (they hold lil festivals there) along with multiple benches, tennis courts, a big pond, wooded area. Like the entirety of the park is massive

So we went into the children’s playground and we got there it was us another mum and child and a dad and child. It was getting closer to school ending time so it started to get steadily busy. I’m such a nosey person and observer so I had my eye on everything. I then noticed two men in the park I’d say in their 30s I’d say they were a bit unkept, they weren’t sitting together one had climbed a climbing frame and was perched at the top and the other on a bench. These men had come in alone and after a lot of watching it didn’t seem they knew anyone, they weren’t with kids it was just them by themselves.

I got a really odd vibe from them and I did notice another mum tell her child not to go on the climbing frame. I really don’t like the look of these men it just didn’t feel right and I didn’t like the fact that as more new families come into the park, they wouldn’t know that these men are without kids.

I ended up taking my son home as I didn’t feel comfortable, I called my sister who has 5 kids and she said that they couldn’t just be lonely and in a non creepy way like to watch kids play which I think is nonsense. I mean there’s an entire other section of park where others are and there are benches I personally don’t think they should have been in the playground.

What do you guys think on the scenario? What would you have done and have you seen anything similar?

Mums,

Advice please, I want to go back to work, my daughter is 1 but nursery fees are so high. What jobs can I do and bring my daughter ? 💁🏻‍♀️

Father’s Day gift ideas??

Hi mamas!
I’m trying to come up with ideas for Father’s Day ☺️ I’d love to get a small gift for him or even ideas of how to spend our day! What are you gifting your husbands and/or what are your plans for the day? ☺️

What would you do?

The other night my fiancé and I are making out and having fun with foreplay when he says he fantasizes about me being with a girl. Truth be told, I have never been with a girl, but I do love girl on girl porn and I do sometimes fantasize what it would be like to be with a girl……
