Pregnant care. Pregnancy Max! The best ones! You have everything inside what your body needs

I take Blackmoores pregnancy and breastfeeding gold - I take it at night because they are pretty big tablets but I’ve used them for all of pregnancies and find them good!

I take bioceuticals inNatal (iron free). All bioavailable ingredients which means easier for your body to absorb. I also took everNatal which is vegan friendly but was too nauseated by the smell. But the smell was because they had good quality vit b in it. Apparently, the smellier the better haha

I’m on Elevit, what negative things have you heard??

Tresos Natal. I also took metacholine and pregnancy appropriate fish oils.

Brilliant combination, highly recommend.

Yes I was thinking the same before, but changed my mind. There are tons of new brands and natural options for prenatal vitamins BUT if you look at the years of manufacturing and years of trials made on Elevit/Blackmores would be the oldest and the longest so whom would you trust? Something that's been out for a year or decades?

it apparently doesn't have few very essential nutrients.

She explains it well https://www.instagram.com/reel/C18vxjGyWlF/?igsh=MXBuNW5ibDNlcjl1ZA==

that's true, but it's probably because it's very well accessible and maybe because they are big brands.

I second Tresos Natal. Has the easier to absorb compound of folic acid (folate).

I took Blackmores Pregnancy & Breastfeeding gold. Didnt feel nauseous and upset tummy. The downside is you have to take 2 big capsules.

Apart from the Bioceuticals one, the Optimal prenatal I recommended has the highest form of bioavailable ingredients available without unnecessary added ingredients like the Elevit, Blackmores and Tresos Natal brands and several other ones (I've done lots of research)

I've been on InNatal during my first pregnancy, continued taking it postpartum to support breastfeeding, fell pregnant 10 months PP, continued taking it through my second pregnancy, and am currently taking it 10 weeks PP...
I take that with an additional plant based omega 3.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

Advice

Ok so I had this friend and she would always talk about how it was so embarrassing to post your face on tinder or any kind of dating/friendship platform because it makes you look desperate. This has stuck with me soo much over the years, I always post anonymously. I really want a friend just 1 friend that I can go out n do stuff with and we just click but I refuse to post my face on any friendship platform, also because I might see someone I know and I literally HATE the idea of that. I feel so stuck, because I’m not the type of person to go out a lot I go to work and come home and when I do go out to parks and stuff there’s literally never any moms that try to strike up conversation. I really wanna get on bumble bff to try it out but it makes it to where you have to post your face. PLEASEEE any advice would help. I get bumble bff go through the people and then I delete it within like 5 minutes because I see someone I know.
