I’ve seen a few different posts on here of some mommas struggling with supplemental iron side effects and thought I’d share what worked for me. I was terribly anemic my last pregnancy even with iron pills and vitamins with iron. Pretty much would get scolded every other month at the doc office like I wasn’t taking them because my levels wouldn’t come up enough. Let me tell you that I’ve had ZERO iron issues this pregnancy and the ONLY thing that’s different is I cook in a cast iron skillet multiple times a week! I’ve researched it and the benefits are proven. Man I wished I had known that 3 years ago! Hopefully this helps some of you ladies too ❤️
My doctor actually told me to do this to get my levels up! She said it works better thennpills
@hotrodfjg me too .. thanks 💓 I'm definitely gonna try your tip!!!
@jordanrwilliams25, those pills are awful. I dreaded taking them everyday and got even more mad when they weren’t even helping. What a waste of misery. I hope you get some relief!
@kendrab, very interesting, I haven’t heard of that!
@hotrodfjg 😂😂😂 I need to get one asap because the pills are awful no matter how I take it
@jordanrwilliams25, yes! I was amazed at not having iron issues and was telling my husband and he said duh, we use cast iron now and you get iron from that. So I started researching it and sure enough he’s right lol. Like, why didn’t you say something last time cause it’s been sitting in the garage for like 6 years cause we only took it on camping trips 🤦🏻♀️
I got sick a little bit ago after taking my pill 😭
I use something called the "lucky iron fish" usually put it in water i was boiling.. my mothers anemic and uses it so got the idea from her lol kind of the same deal as cooking in iron
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...

Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
