Protein Powder good or bad?

Question

I read that it's fine and bad. Wondering if any other mamas have been taking any protein powder during pregnancy?

Answer

It has to be 100% Whey protein

Answer

Oh wow, I didn't even think about it possibly not being good for you while pregnant. I'm vegan and will continue to be throughout my pregnancy, so I started a vegan protein powder to give me a boost every so often. But, doc says baby looks good in there, so I guess it's alright. *shrug*

Answer

I use organic protein powder from Costco.

Answer

I use Arbonne protein which is Vegan

Answer

My doctor suggested i drink protein shakes. She said as long as it wasn't one geared towards pre or post workout it was totally safe. But always check with your dr.

Answer

It doesn't have to be 100% anything! Just talk to your doctor! I use a plant based protein daily ☺️

Answer

I actually was wondering the same thing the other day. The vegan protein I was using says specially not to use while pregnant or breastfeeding. I was talking to the girl at the smoothie bar at my gym today and she said she used whey protein when she was pregnant. I'm going to wait and ask at the dr in a week. Id be curious what others think.
