@cecilia.leslie07 "Iron supplementation wasn’t something I knew a lot about before I was expecting my first baby. I discovered during pregnancy that I had issues with my iron levels and my midwife recommended I take Active Iron. After a short while, my energy levels increased dramatically and since then I have been taking iron supplements, but it wasn’t until I started my midwifery training that I fully understood the increased need for iron during pregnancy. It also opened my eyes to how iron is so important to us all, pregnant or not. In light of that understanding, I have been taking Active Iron For Women to support my energy levels and make running a house, 4 children and a full time job that bit easier! Active Iron also have have a range for pregnant women; I love Active Iron Pregnancy as it contains 17mg of Active Iron's non-constipating iron that provides 2x better absorption and is kind even on an empty stomach." #activeiron #activeironstories #pregnancy #ironsupplements #pregnancysupplements

What are the best vitamins to take post pregnancy?

What are the best vitamins to take post pregnancy?

After giving birth you need good nutrition to support healing and recovery. And for mothers who are breast-feeding there is an increased demand on your nutritional intake. A healthy balanced diet is essential but it can be challenging to get all the nutrients we require from a healthy diet, particularly for iron, and so supplementation can play a vital role.

The 4 micro nutrients required post pregnancy are:

1. Iron
During pregnancy, your iron requirements increase by 40-50%, meaning there is a significantly increased need for iron. You also loose iron during childbirth so it is important to replenish your stores.

2. Vitamin B12
Known as the energy vitamin, B12 helps boost the metabolism and energy in the body. This is especially important for pregnant women due to the level of increased blood following pregnancy.

3. Omega 3
DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid supports babies eye and brain development and so it particularly important for breastfeeding mothers.

4. Vitamin D
Vitamin D supports the immune system, brain, and nervous system so is important for both mum & baby. Between 0-12 months babies grow very quickly and have a greater need for vitamin D to form strong bones.

How do you look after yourself when you have just

How do you look after yourself when you have just had a baby?

Sometimes, it’s not just your baby that needs taking care of in the early days. Here are 6 tips on how to look after yourself after having a baby.

1. Sleep
Try to sleep when your baby sleeps. It can be difficult to get uninterrupted sleep when you have a newborn, so sleep when you can - even if it means napping in the day.

2. Ask for help
Don’t be afraid to ask your friends, relatives or neighbours for help - from making you a cup of tea or minding your baby for half an hour while you shower. Ask and you will find plenty of people happy to help!

3. Eat & drink well
Eating well is always important, but try to eat a variety of balanced meals including your recommended five a day of fruit and vegetables. Make sure you also drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated, especially if you are breastfeeding.

4. Get your fresh air
Get outdoors for a short walk every day with your baby every day if you can. This will not only lift your mood but also help you stay active while you are recovering.

5. Socialise
Dependent on lockdown, but if you can socialise, do! Making friends with other new parents in your local area can really support you as a new mum.

6. Be good to yourself
Your baby’s arrival is bound to have an impact on your relationships and you may have a lot of mixed emotions. If you’re feeling sad and it’s starting to affect your life, make sure you confide in a friend or family member and don't be afraid to ask for help.

@projectmarathongirl "When you are pregnant you ar

@projectmarathongirl "When you are pregnant you are told so many different things that you should & shouldn’t do. Things you should & shouldn’t eat & drink. And how best to make sure that both you and the baby growing in your stomach are healthy.

But what about after? It tends to be all about the baby. Making sure they get enough food, have a clean bum, they are warm enough, stimulated, happy.. the list goes on! And a lot of the time, as the mum it’s easy to forget about yourself.

We need to try and remember that our bodies went through SO much to grow & birth our babies, so it’s important that we look after ourselves postnatally too.

Here are a few things I try and do to make sure I am giving my body (and mind!) everything it needs to recover, stay healthy & get stronger.

Drink plenty of water - my water bottle is pretty much attached to me at the moment.

Eat 3 proper meals a day - even if half the time it is cold. Oh, and daily chocolate too.

Get outside for at least an hour a day.

Take Active Iron Pregnancy Plus Supplement which include 21 essential nutrients to help support mum & baby (suitable for both pre/post natal)

Have a shower - even if it’s only 2 minutes, it makes all the difference to how I feel that day".

@aaliyah.jm "I’ve always had issues with my iron

@aaliyah.jm "I’ve always had issues with my iron levels and having a sensitive stomach due to my IBS means I often struggle with the side effects of iron tablets. I have recently been trialing Active Iron's iron supplements for 30 days and I have seen amazing results! By week 2, I was feeling full of energy and less lethargic. At week 4, I had requested an appointment with my midwife to check my iron levels, my results came back to say they had improved after taking Active Iron! What I love about these iron tablets is that they are kind on your stomach - they had no unpleasant side effects on my stomach which I have often found with other iron supplements. It’s so important to look after your iron levels, especially during pregnancy. I’m so glad I tested these out!"
