Protein shakes during pregnancy?

Question

Are they safe? 
I haven’t asked my doctor as I barely am going to work out again as I have been feeling better from nausea. 
29 weeks today. I’m gonna do some research, I was just wondering what other sources thought or knew

Answer

They typically contain a lot of chemical additives and artificial ingredients. I would just try and go with a more natural one :) glad you’re feeling a little better!

Answer

Been drinking my True Nutrition (always heavy metals tested and an all around clean company) protein since day one. Doctor says the added protein is great.

Answer

It depends on what’s in there. Its not suggested to consume whey protein in pregnancy because there is no research on the long term risks. If you are going to have protein shakes, talk to your doctor about what is safe! You definitely don’t want anything with performance enhancers or stuff like that. Good luck :)

Answer

if I get one from the gym I just don't get the fat burning protein. I have made a lot at home though with grass feed collagen unflavored protin.  it's hard getting all this protin and calcium in I think a shake is a great way to do it. maybe just ask what kind of protein they are using at the gym if you are buying them there.

Answer

Plant based protein is ok!! I have been drinking the OrGAIN protein for like 2 years now. I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant and my doctor suggested I continue drinking them.

Can you not make your own protein shakes? I don’t see why these would be off limits.
