Im vegetarian and honestly struggling to get enough protein, food just makes me nauseous in this trimester. Thinking of having a protein shake but not sure if those are ok now. anyone had them while pregnant?
I had pcos and was careful with random supplements. I asked my gynac before taking any protein powder because some have extra additives. Better to confirm with your doctor rather than just buying off the shelf.
Honestly between work and tiredness I just couldnt cook elaborate, so I asked my doc and she suggested a pregnancy specific one. Dont pick a gym bro powder yaar, get one meant for pregnancy.
I usually had protein but during pregnancy I switched to food sources like dal, paneer, eggs and curd. My doctor said whole foods are safer than shakes. Only took a shake she specifically approved.
My app showed I was low on protein so I mentioned it at my checkup. Doc preferred I get it from food first. Shakes only if you genuinely cant meet it through meals.
