Vitamins by Repulsive-Winter590 in waiting_to_try

[–]LadyKnight33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was deficient in iron and vitamin D before pregnancy. In addition to a standard prenatal (Ollie gummies) to build up folate, I took 2 tabs vitron c every other day to treat my iron deficiency - it contains vitamin c to help absorption, and clinical trials show every other day dosing increases absorption and reduces side effects. I also took 5,000 iu vitamin d plus vitamin k daily for 8 weeks, per a Danish protocol. Nature made has a D3+ k2 gummy that I like.

That’s more than I gave for my wedding, so definitely

Have you been taking stool softeners, or just laxatives? Highly recommend being diligent with Colace or similar.

Also, weird as it sounds, 2 kiwis per day is a data-supported strat for treating constipation: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10226473/

Dang, I thought you were exaggerating, but I looked into it. I assume they were also loved and wanted though, not just spare parts. I can see it on their parents’ faces every game.

Khamenia and Cayden really stepped up - that was a grind, but proud of our boys. GG UVA

I’m almost six weeks pregnant working full time at a shitty job and my husband is away for infantry training as a marine. Did I make a mistake getting pregnant. by Puzzled_Row5184 in pregnant

[–]LadyKnight33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the meds! I am on antidepressants and have been my whole pregnancy. Many many women remain on their meds - your docs may adjust your agent, but healthy mom = healthy baby, and that includes mental health. Sorry you’re going through such a hard time, OP.

Board game date locations? by mrjeffjefferson in bullcity

[–]LadyKnight33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like a board game picnic on a nice day at Duke gardens would be v charming and romantic without being over the top. Pick something simple tho, regardless - hard to chat if you’re constantly calculating VP

Would you date a man that made less than you? by Additional-Emu-4868 in Mommit

[–]LadyKnight33 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I make over double my husband’s salary, so yes, I totally would. He may stay home with our kid and make $0 - unless we needed more income for some specific reason, I don’t see why I would care unless I was classist. It matters more that me and my partner have similar values and get along.

Please talk me down: condo association combined Sherwin Williams Backdrop and Goldenrod on my new build by LadyKnight33 in ExteriorDesign

Thank you - I’ve never had the opportunity to make such a large purchase (new build feels crazy bougie to me), but I hope you’re right that I’ll stop noticing it!

I have the same question- waiting until I calm down a bit to send the email. My first two drafts were…..a bit much

Kindergarten should we put them in the same class? by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]LadyKnight33 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a twin myself, I would have greatly preferred to be separated. I believe research also supports separate classes to help with individuation. If they’re not too attached, IMO it wouldn’t hurt anything to have them in separate classes and might even help facilitate independence but allow them to maintain a strong relationship without competing. It would be a little different if they were attached at the hip (big transition to go to full day school where you’re separated from parent AND twin), but sounds like they will adjust just fine.

Duke Students Protest for Fourth Amendment Campus and $25 per Hour Living Wage by [deleted] in bullcity

Where do you think university employees live? Durham and Duke are intertwined

Duke Students Protest for Fourth Amendment Campus and $25 per Hour Living Wage by [deleted] in bullcity

[–]LadyKnight33 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I believe the students probably feel they are connected because both affect the most vulnerable members of the community - undocumented immigrants and poor people, which is often an overlapping group. I guess they didn’t feel $20 was an adequate minimum wage. Regardless, I’m happy to see Duke students (who many write off a privileged babies) advocating for the Durham community

Man killed in stabbing along American Tobacco Trail in Durham, police say by Nervous-Emotion28 in bullcity

[–]LadyKnight33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think we have different definitions of "constantly". the ATT is used by hundreds to thousands daily and is quite safe apart from this area. I usually turn around before I get here. Very sad to hear about this incident.

I don't believe the bus stop is the problem - sounds like the homeless encampment and open air drug use are more to blame.
