Vitamin d

Hi ladies, I read in one of the pregnancy leaflets that I need to give my newborn vitamin d. None of the health visitors or midwives have mentioned this to me, do I go to my gp for this or is this something I buy over the counter ?

I bought over the counter. The HV and midwife didn't tell me either. A member of the infant feeding team did though. I use Well baby drops

Its the drops you can buy from the pharmacy. One drop a day. I keep forgetting to give mine it.
If your breastfeeding as well i was advised to also take a vitamin d tablet.

Yeah it’s too bad midwives don’t mention it, given that it’s important and breastfed babies need it explicitly . As a FTM, recovering from cesearean, I only managed to read the red book at 3 weeks and that’s when I got to know it has to be given from birth

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

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 🤔
