My appetite is really low and im not getting enough protein from food. Thinking of adding a protein powder but not sure which ones are safe in pregnancy. Will confirm with doctor too but wanted your suggestions.
I never took any powder, just ate protein rich meals through my pregnancy and it was fine. Cant say whats best for u though. Ur doctor will guide u properly.
Honestly powders are pricey and mostly not needed. I just added more eggs, sprouts and milk which was way cheaper. Spend on good food instead, that worked for me.
The regular gym protein powders are a no during pregnancy. There are some pregnancy specific nutrition drinks doctors suggest if ur protein is low. Get it checked and let ur doctor decide the brand.
Please dont pick a protein powder on ur own, many are not meant for pregnancy. My gynac told me to get protein from food first, dal, eggs, paneer, milk. If u truly need a supplement she will recommend a safe one.
