Supplements in the 3rd trimester

Hello science ladies,

Are any of you taking, or would you recommend, any specific supplements in the third trimester to support optimal development in utero?

After reading Jessie Inchauspé’s 9 Months That Count Forever, I’m currently taking a multivitamin, fish oil and BodyBio PC, and I’m considering adding choline. I also take ferrous fumarate and magnesium threonate for my own specific needs.

I’d love to hear what you’re taking, what you’ve found most worthwhile, and whether there’s anything you’d particularly recommend looking into for the third trimester.

Running buggy

Can anybody recommend a good running buggy? My LO is 7 months. TIA 😊

Freaking Out…. Vitamin D Tablets

This is a bit of a strange one. I’ve been taking vitamin D daily throughout pregnancy. I’ve had the same tub for a few months, and noticed about 2-3 weeks ago that they were brown speckled. I thought nothing of it at first and thought perhaps they had always been this way. Only now I’ve looked at the packaging which displays a pure white tablet. I’m now terrified that the pills have contained mould or something? Does ANYONE have any idea here as to what is wrong with them, and if it’s harmful? I have alerted my midwife but she haven’t heard anything back yet. I believe I’ve been storing them correctly. They don’t smell or have any other signs of being ‘off’. Have included a photo below:

Tonies or Yoto

Reason for preference? Thank you

Calpol refusal!

anyone else really struggle to get calpol into their LO? Appreciate any tips as I feel I’ve tried everything at this point😩

Multivitamins

Hi UK mums! Can you recommend a multivitamin that you feel has helped boost your LO’s immunity? 🥹 My baby is 14 months old and goes to nursery twice a week, but every time she attends, she seems to come home with a cough or cold 😭 Any recommendations would be really appreciated! ❤️

PS: been giving her fruits rich in vitamin C too. x

Home Workouts

Workout schedule

I need helppp making a workout schedule. What’s yours? How are we walking and lifting? How long is your lift session?

I’m having trouble figuring out when to do it all and how to keep my hair from getting disgusting so I can quickly get ready afterward. 😅

Workout buddy ?

Looking for girls who want to workout

Has anyone taken online personal training or bodybuilding training?

I’m wondering if the trainer is supposed to give you new exercises every month or if you’re supposed to do the same workout program every week for a year or so…..my trainer has a stunning body and she claims that she did the exact workout program on repeat every week for a year and a half to be able to get her body that she has now. Please comment your thoughts. I’m wondering if it’s worth it to pay for a 3 month program or if one month is enough if the program is exactly the same because I don’t need check ins.

Help settle a debate with partener AGAIN 🤣

Dance parties!

Do any other young mamas make dance parties a part of their regular routine?! My daughter is almost 3 now, and ever since she was in her bouncer able to jump along she adored music and dancing! Music is medicine!

Margaritaville 5k

Is there any mom’s running the 5K at Margaritaville next weekend in Orlando?? I would love to have someone to run with! I’m on stroller duty.

Multivitamins for toddlers

Does anyone give their toddler any multivitamins or probiotics? If so I’d love recommendations🤍

Vitamins

Hey ladies! What’s the best vitamins for a 1 year old? The doctor gave us a multivitamin but My bf doesn’t want to give our son anything that has Fluoride in it .. any suggestions? 😌

Single mom by choice runner

Hi! I am a single mom by choice and I would love to get back into running but I can't for the life of me figure out when to go running and how with my baby.

Do I wake up early and run in the dark before she is ready to eat or feed her early and go running

Do I do our normal evening routine but instead of bed time put her in the stroller to run?

None seem like great options but looking to see what others do?

Gym childcare

How do you feel about it? I’m a SAHM and today was the first time I tried out the child care at the Y while I work out. My 2 yr old was screaming at drop off and crying when he saw me picking him up. Which is normal I know but I felt weird leaving him with strangers that I don’t know. Maybe we both just need to get used to it? 😅

Rave couples?

Me and my husband used to rave before having a baby we probably will again when she gets a little older.
seeing if there is another rave couple out there😌
