I was taking herbalife shakes for weight before i found out i was pregnant, now im 6 weeks and a bit scared to continue. Nobody at home knows much about these things. Has anyone used them during pregnancy or did your gynac stop you?
My nurse friend always says during pregnancy avoid anything that isnt cleared by your gynac, including these branded supplements. Show her the label, she'll tell you straight. Better safe than guessing.
Pls dont start any such product without asking your gynac first. During pregnancy supplements and shakes can have stuff your doctor may not want. I'd really get it checked before taking anything like this.
I'd skip it honestly. In pregnancy your body just needs proper home food and the iron, calcium, folic your doc gives. No need to add random shakes to the mix.
These meal replacement type products arent really studied for pregnancy. Safest thing is to show the exact product and ingredients to your doctor and let them decide. I personally stuck to normal food and the prescribed vitamins.
Be a little careful, some of these shakes have hidden sugar and additives. With my sugar issues my doc told me to stay away from packaged supplements totally. Definitely run it past your doctor first.
