Is protien powder safe during pregnancy?

Question

I'm 16 weeks and still have a strong aversion to meat, and no real desire for plant based protien. Has anyone used protien powder to supplement their pregnancy diet? Are there any brands you recommend?

Answer

I was the exact same way, even now the thought of meat grosses me out. My midwife said she wasn't comfortable suggesting any protein powder to me because she's seen too many with metals in them, but some of her clients (like vegetarians/vegans) took organic or vegan protein powders throughout pregnancy. 
I bought a lot of protein yogurts, and a big thing of Greek unflavored yogurt! It has like 25 grams of protein per half a cup or something great,I put it into smoothies with fruit every morning or evening. I also eat protein granola bars or protein granola which helps a lot too. Good luck mama. Lots of protein veggies
