Collagen during pregnancy?

Has anyone tried to take collagen supplements during pregnancy? I’ve read it’s safe and good for skin and joints, and can be good against stretch marks (even tho I know it’s mostly genetics). What are your opinions? I’m tempted to to try!

Yes! I started taking 2 weeks ago to guard against stretch marks (along with using a thick lotion). So far, so good!!

I have it every day in my morning tea. No stretch marks so far (currently 30 weeks pregnant, so this can still change of course). I also oil my body with coconut oil everyday after my shower. So hard to say which of the two is the deciding factor. But so far so good! 🥰

I was told it’s safe to use, just make sure it’s a good quality pure collagen. I used it all throughout my second pregnancy for the same reasons. For me it did nothing to guard against stretch marks, however they have faded fast since having my baby. I did find it an easy way to get more protein though

Which one are you guys using?

Thank you girls!! The protein boost that it gives is also one of the reason I’m considering taking it. I’ll still oil up everyday but if it has others benefits as well I think I might as well give it a try!

can you tell me which one you’d be buying please :)

I will! ☺️ I’ll have to research it a little bit first

I used Vital Proteins collagen daily throughout my pregnancy and still now postpartum. I take it for the protein and energy boost. I asked my doctor about it early in my pregnancy and she said it was fine.

I have a good quality collagen protein powder I use in my smoothie most days. Made such a difference with pregnancy tiredness and it’s probably unrelated but I had no stretch marks! ❤️

can you tell me the name of it please.

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?

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.
