What prenatals does every recommend? I’ve been taking the nature made prenatals folic acid+ dha+ choline. Not sure if that’s enough. This is my second pregnancy but just wanna make sure me and the baby get our necessary vitamins and nutrients in.

Currently have some and baby refuses and can taste them in her food.

Hi all, I just thought this might interest some of you. Two new classes (prenatal and postnatal) have started at the Better gym in Kentish Town. They are twice a week, free for members or very reasonably priced for non-members (close to £10). Babies are welcome and it’s very relaxed. Would love to see a few more ...
