protein powder while pregnant?

Question

After my workouts I typically have a protein shake to help repair my muscles.  I use Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein and it doesn't say anything about not taking it while I'm pregnant/consulting my doctor if I'm pregnant of breastfeeding.  Does anyone else take a protein powder? What have you heard about how safe it is?

Answer

Please don't those are full of chemicals. Switch to natural protein powders. I use Bob's red mill brand They are all natural and can be found in most grocery marts.

Answer

I have hemp protein everyday in my smoothies

Answer

Honestly, I asked my naturopath about the Arnold brand (I ran out of my good stuff) and she said it was just fine... I only take about 3/4 scoop though. I'm sure a higher value brand like optimum would be fine !

Answer

I use 3 scoops per day of ump per day. It was approved by my doctor and actually encouraged to continue since it increases my protein intake.
