I'm looking for ways to ensure I'm getting enough nutrition for me and my baby. Some of my friends suggested taking protein supplements. Are protein supplements generally considered good or safe to use during pregnancy?
I always prefer ghar ka khana like sattu, boiled chana, and milk for protein, natural is best. But sometimes our body needs extra help, so protein powder can be good. Just verify with your doc once if you actually need it, especially if you have any acidity or bloating issues.
Mere pregnancy me, mummy and dadi made sure I had natural proteins like paneer and dal daily. But third month me when doctor suggested a protein powder, papa immediately got it. Just ask your family gynac once, they will suggest the best brand for u and baby.
Same here, protein supplements really helped with my low energy levels. Just ask your doc to suggest a good, pregnancy-safe brand during your next visit.
Honestly with a busy office schedule, meeting daily protein needs from normal food is tough. I used a pregnancy protein powder in my milk every morning, saved so much time! Check with your gynac, they will write a good one according to your weight and needs.
Since I had PCOS history, I was very careful about extra sugars in supplements. I asked my doc for a sugar-free protein powder that was safe for me. Definitely consult your gynac first because many general gym proteins are not safe during pregnancy.
