My protein intake is quite low and im not able to eat much solid food because of nausea. Thinking of a protein shake but not sure which ones are safe now. Pls share if doc recommended any to u.
I used a simple pea protein powder with no artificial sweeteners, but only after getting it cleared by my gynac. Always match it with light active habits if allowed.
I am looking for recommendations too because the normal ones have too much sugar. Has anyone tried plant-based organic powders during their second trimester?
My doctor prescribed Protinex Mama but honestly, getting it down is a task with this heavy belly! Just find any basic, plain one that doesn't trigger your gag reflex.
My doctor strictly told me to avoid powders with herbal blends or high caffeine content. She recommended standard maternal supplements like Horlicks Mother's Plus as they are formulated safely.
I actually mix my doctor-approved protein powder with cold milk and a bit of chocolate syrup to satisfy my sweet tooth. It makes the health drink taste like a milkshake!
