I use a pea protein shake for my breakfast usually. Now that im pregnant im not sure if I should continue or stop. Doc visit is next week but thought of asking here, anyone using it?
Oh god, the things we worry about during pregnancy! Pea protein, chia seeds, which side to sleep on... It's like a full-time job researching everything. I actually found that my cravings for aloo paratha usually took care of my protein needs, haha! But seriously, if it's a good quality brand, it should be okay, no?
Pea protein? What's that? *yawn* Honestly, during my pregnancy, I was just trying to remember what day it was. If it helps you get some nutrients in without making you feel queasy, then great! Just make sure your doc is aware, because everything changes once baby arrives and sleep becomes a distant memory.
Honestly, I didn't take any protein supplements during my pregnancy. I just tried to get my protein from regular food like dal, paneer, and eggs. I'm not a doc so can't say for sure about pea protein, but maybe ask your gynac during your next visit?
I'm in my second trimester too and also worried about everything I eat! My dietician suggested plant-based proteins, but I haven't specifically asked about pea protein. Did your doctor mention it? I'm so scared of doing anything wrong, mere saath bhi same feeling hai.
Arre haan, pea protein is quite popular na these days. My doc actually told me that plant-based protein sources are good. Just check the ingredients list properly for any extra additives ya fillers, sometimes they put too many things. But generally, it should be fine, just take in moderation.
Haan, I remember checking this on my pregnancy app too! Most studies say pea protein is generally safe and a good plant-based option if you're looking for extra protein. But always best to quickly run it by your gynac to be super sure, especially if you have any existing conditions.
