gym+protein shakes when pregnant?

Question

I am 16 weeks pregnant with my first baby and previous to that I've been working out and lifting weights forever now I try to maintain my body- I use to take pre workout supplements and drink a protein shake right after the gym it also helped with muscle soreness. Is there any kind of protein shake for working out while pregnant that's safe enough to drink? 🏃🏼‍♀️

Answer

I'd switch to a protein supplement that isn't meant for workouts. You can overdose on certain vitamins, one of which is vitamin A. This is in your prenatal and usually in very very high quantities in protein shakes. I switched to this

Answer

Please don't take a pre-work out while pregnant either! To much caffeine for baby

Answer

Definitely check that it doesn't have crazy high amounts of vitamin A, excessive doses consistently can cause birth defects.

Answer

I was told protein shakes are fine as long as they don't have a bunch of extra supplements or vitamins added.
