is protein powder safe when pregnant?

Question

I am five weeks today. I wanted to know if I was still able to take my protein shakes like I used to. I have been sticking to the food guidelines (as best that I can) but don't want my protein to go to waste!   For reference I use pro7tein synthesis.

Answer

You need to read the labels. A lot of them are not ok while pregnant. I recommend Bob's red mill products. They are completely natural and safe and can be found in many grocery stores.

Answer

My doctor told me I could continue with the protein I use. I have a hard time getting enough protein. I use protein world. (They're technically meal replacement shakes) but I drink one with breakfast everyday. :)

Answer

I wouldn't unless your OB recommends you take it.

Answer

I had to drink a boost high protein every morning or I'd be sick all day

Answer

There's definitely pros and cons but the best thing to do is take the list of ingredients to your OB appointment. They can give you the run down on if you should consume or not, also make sure if they give you the go ahead, to ask if you still need to take your prenatal vitamin.

Also, there's a pregnancy protein shake out there ( don't know the name 🙂) if interested.
