I was taking whey regularly for gym before getting pregnant and now im 8 weeks. Not sure agar continue karna chahiye ya not during this time. Anyone here kept taking their protein shake while pregnant? pls share ur experience.
My tracking app says whey protein is generally safe if it's pure and has no harmful additives. Just make sure to run the brand name by your gynac before buying.
I am also thinking of starting a protein powder because I can't eat much food right now. Has anyone's doctor prescribed a specific safe brand of whey protein?
Unless your doctor gives a green signal, don't start drinking gym style protein shakes! Stick to your daal-chawal first, and check with your doc for supplements.
I prefer getting my protein from paneer and chicken, honestly! But if you are using whey protein, just double-check the ingredients with your gynac to ensure no artificial stuff is there.
My mother said traditional foods like sattu or dry fruit laddoos are better for protein. But if you really need whey, make sure it is unflavored and approved by your doctor first.
In my 3rd trimester, I can barely digest normal food, let alone heavy protein shakes! If you want to take whey, please ask your gynac to suggest a safe brand without bad additives.
