Taking Protein supplements??

Question

Hi, I'm 18+ weeks & recently found out from a friend who delivered this year that she was taking protein supplements while pregnant. I am a vegetarian since birth & may have a low protein diet (as suggested by many). Is it safe to take protein supplements for me & if yes then in what form & quantity? Any help would be much appreciated as this is my first pregnancy 🙏🏼

Answer

I have low protein as well but I occasionally eat meat. I read that it's normal to be low during pregnancy

Answer

I drink vegan protein after workouts still and will add some in my oats in the mornings, too.

Vegan proteins are way cleaner in terms of ingredients. It's what I used when I wasn't pregnant, too.

Answer

I would ask your doctor people assume because you don't eat meat you aren't getting enough protein but it really depends on what your diet consists of if you are vegetarian and not vegan and eat a lot of eggs and cheese and milk that all contains protein as well as beans etc. just becaue it's not meat doesn't mean you aren't getting enough. I would see what your doctor recommends before taking it.
