I switched to soy milk before pregnancy coz normal milk doesnt suit me. Now im 3 months and wondering if soy is fine to continue. Anyone else drinking it during pregnancy?
I got so worried reading conflicting things online about soy milk and hormones! I literally asked three different people before taking a sip. Honestly, my gynac said having it in moderate amounts is absolutely fine, so don't stress like I did.
Please make sure to choose organic, pasteurized soy milk without too many artificial additives. Since I had a miscarriage before, I was very cautious about my diet and chose plain, unsweetened soy milk. Always consult your doctor if you feel unsure.
During my IVF journey, I was extremely careful with my protein intake. Soy milk was a wonderful option for me, but I made sure to check with my clinic first. They advised keeping it to one glass a day, which worked beautifully.
Soy milk is good, but you can also try homemade ragi malt or badam milk for natural strength. If you have any sudden stomach upset or allergic reactions after drinking it, please consult your doctor immediately.
When I drank soy milk in my first trimester, I felt so relieved because regular cow milk made me throw up instantly. It was the only thing that kept my strength up. Truly a blessing for moms with severe morning sickness.
Yes, it is perfectly safe as long as you don't drink liters of it daily. It's high in protein and calcium, which is great for the baby. Just buy a reputed brand that is fortified with Vitamin D.
