My son has been having liquid multi vitamin supplements daily added to his yoghurt (don’t tell him! 😂) but we’re going on our first family holiday abroad in a couple of weeks so I don’t really want to take a bottle of multivitamin liquid away with me.

Has anyone used this pasta before? What meals have you made with it or do you serve it without sauce?

I am 22weeks and work a full time job where I stand over 90% of my day. And my hips and muscles are sore. Part of it from what I have been told is my hips adjusting to be able to give birth and I should do some stretches but I don't know what ones are safe to do or what videos are recommended like on YouTube.

Hi mamas! just wanting a little advice, I used to go to the gym prior to my pregnancy and my family and friends who had kids has advised me to not go gym as it’s my first pregnancy but rather go on walks instead.
