My gynac said i need more protein as my levels are low. Bought a protein powder but confused how much and when to take it, with milk ya water? Pls share if anyone is taking it.
When I was staying at my parents' place, my mom would mix the protein powder prescribed by my doctor in warm milk every evening. It was a sweet little routine that helped me stay strong.
I used to just mix my doctor-prescribed protein powder in warm milk quickly before rushing to the office. It's a lifesaver when you don't have time for a heavy breakfast, but make sure your gynac approves the brand.
My MIL always insisted on making fresh badam milk, but my doctor said I needed extra protein. So I started mixing a scoop of protein powder in my milk once a day, and my family was totally supportive.
Most doctors prescribe a specific protein powder like Protinex Mama or similar. You can mix it in lukewarm milk or even add it to your morning oats, just take the dosage your doctor advised.
Please do not buy any random protein powder from the market! Always ask your gynac to prescribe a pregnancy-safe one because many commercial gym powders have harmful additives.
If you are taking protein powder, make sure it is sugar-free. I had gestational diabetes and had to be extremely careful with the brand, so my doctor prescribed a specific diabetic-friendly one.
