Whole milk or 2%?

Question

Which is recommended during pregnancy or does it matter??

Answer

I’m not a doctor but...
I would stick with 2%. It’s less calories and fat.

Answer

Wic gives pregnant women 1% , not sure if that helps

Answer

I don’t think it matters though a lot of women become more lactose sensitive.

Answer

Good question! I have no answer for you though, sorry.

Answer

Neither. I'd stick with plant based  Almond/coconut milk have way more calcium anyway and no sugar if you go with unsweetened. While dairy milk is fine in early pregnancy, I'd stay away from it in the third trimester. My midwife told me it actually increases mucus in you and baby and could potentially cause problems after birth with babies breathing and excess mucus.

Answer

Plant based milk

Answer

I had lost weight the first 2 trimesters so my OB suggested whole milk for the added calories. Pretty sure light yogurt is fine but I was told to shy away from fake sugar so just check the ingredients.  My OB also emphasized the importance of calcium while pregnant because the baby will leech calcium out of your system and bones to create the baby’s especially if your lacking.

Answer

I have been drinking coconut almond milk. More calcium and less calories. Also no stomach issues. I was lactose intolerant prior to pregnancy though.

Answer

It doesn’t matter but I do recommend Lactaid or another lactose free milk since most pregnant women become more sensitive to lactose

Answer

the Dr recommend 2 percent, but I drink whole milk based on the fact that whole milk has fewer additives. I also have only gained 7 pounds and I  25 weeks 😊
