Pre-bedtime snack ideas
Has anyone got any ideas for pre-bedtime snacks that are gluten, sugar and dairy-free? I often get peckish before bed and put it down to thirst/being greedy, then lie in bed unable to sleep due to hunger.

Coffee Alternatives
I started a new job 5 months ago and almost immediately started relying on coffee to wake me up in the morning and to keep my brain sharp throughout the day.

Cold Womb
When the weather gets cold, my womb really aches, which means I have to make sure I wear leggings under my trousers when I'm out and I permanently have a hot water bottle when I'm at work (my office is so cold...).

Risks of too much iron
I've recently started taking a multivitamin and mineral supplement which incorporates my full day's iron requirements (I was taking it as I was more concerned about my calcium intake, as I don't eat dairy), but the past couple of days, I've eaten good amounts of iron on top of the supplement and was wondering if consuming…
