Pre-workout during pregnancy

Just found out I’m pregnant and I typically workout every morning with a half a scoop of Alani Nu pre-workout. I understand that beta alanine (which is in my current pre-workout isn’t safe) so does anyone have pregnancy safe pre-workout recommendations?

You will be amazed at how quickly your body will adapt to NOT using it . I would use pre work out before every work out and once I stopped because of my pregnancy I was amazed at how much I could do with out it . Being a momma is like having superpowers haha I would drink a large coffee in the morning if I had the time but other than that just water

I also was an avid pre workout user and stopped using right away. It took maybe a week to readjust! I make almond butter/oat energy balls I’m place of it. Though know that you’ll be more tired in general and during workouts because you’re pregnant so give yourself grace - especially first trimester!

It was a rough time for me, but I eventually got used to just using a bit of black tea before my workouts!! My stash of pre looks at me every time I take my vitamins though and I’m like “ugh, it’s not for forever…” lol

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

Friends

I’ve been on this app for almost 5 years now I still can’t find one friend. I just need a friend. I’m so fucking lonely.

What happened to Zainab

Hey guys haven’t been on here in a sec! Just come to realise I haven’t seen any posts / comments from Zainab (I’m sure that’s her name 🫠) hoping she is ok , I’m sure she was a Mod but can’t seem to find her anymore 🤔

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”
