My MIL keeps making me boost every morning saying it gives strength. Im 4 months in. Just wondering if regular drinks like boost or horlicks are fine during pregnancy or are there special ones? pls share.
Oh, I totally understand how difficult it is to drink plain milk with all the nausea. Having a warm mug of Horlicks is so comforting during this beautiful journey. Take care of yourself, dear.
I actually drink Mother's Horlicks daily because I hate the smell of plain milk right now! It really helps with the taste. Did your doctor recommend any other specific protein drink instead of this?
I drank a cup of regular Horlicks once and then spent the night worrying if the sugar content would affect my blood tests! It is safe, but maybe ask your gynac if you need a proper protein powder instead.
During my pregnancy, I preferred Mother's Horlicks because it is formulated with essential vitamins for fetal growth. It really helped keep my energy up, and I continued with a similar powder even while breastfeeding.
Look, regular Boost or Horlicks has a lot of added sugar, which isn't great. If you want, buy Mother's Horlicks which is specially made for pregnancy. Otherwise, plain milk with dry fruit powder is much better.
While standard Boost or Horlicks are safe, they don't offer targeted prenatal nutrition and are high in sugar. It is best to ask your gynecologist for a recommended protein or nutritional supplement tailored for pregnancy.
I used to have Mother's Horlicks to keep my energy levels high for my doctor-approved evening walks. Just keep an eye on the sugar content so you stay active and fit. Always check with your doctor first!
Regular commercial drinks like Boost are mostly sugar, so honestly, avoid them. Go for specialized pregnancy health drinks like Mother's Horlicks or Protinex as they have actual folic acid and DHA. Always read the label!
Instead of buying expensive pregnancy drinks, you can just have regular Horlicks or a homemade dry fruit powder mixed in milk. It is practical, safe, and gives you the calcium you need without breaking the bank.
Hey, don't stress too much about it! Having a warm cup of Horlicks or Boost occasionally is totally fine if you are craving it. Just don't overdo the sugar, and try to have it in moderation.
Drinking milk with Horlicks is good for strength during these days. Pray to God, drink it with a happy mind, and take good care of your health. May you have a peaceful pregnancy.
Didi, my doctor told me that Mother's Horlicks is very good for the baby's health. I used to mix it in hot milk daily. It gave me good strength and tastes very nice too.
When I was at my parents' place, my mother used to give me Mother's Horlicks with warm milk every morning. It has good nutrients and is very comforting. Just check with your family doctor once if it suits you.
