Are workout protein shakes safe during pregnancy?

Question

I have a TON of protein shake mixes from 1UP nutrition that I love but I just want to be entirely sure that it’s okay to consume during pregnancy. I don’t want any kind of meat as of lately and feel that I’m not getting enough protein in my diet.

Answer

I lived on premier protein drinks with my first pregnancy because I had GD. My OB actually recommended them.

Answer

Pure whey is absolutely fine, but anything else, ask your doctor. I know if they have BCAAs, it usually says for pregnant women to stay away.

Answer

Ask your obgyn

Answer

I couldn’t do meat for a while either I did Glucerna shakes for a while and everything is fine. So far only gained only 6lbs at 34 weeks

Answer

I drank special k protein shakes during mine because I wasn’t getting enough. I know not the healthiest one but that’s what I could stomach at the time (I had bad morning sickness). My doctor said it was ok. But I’d ask yours. I know some shakes have a bunch of extra stuff in it so I’d ask your doctor first 😊
