Protein Powder?

I'm 17 weeks pregnant but still having a hard time eating Chat Icon My OB said the baby is growing, so I shouldn't worry, but I am trying to find some things I can keep down. I have been making smoothies, which I really love. I am trying to find a protein powder that it is OK during pregnancy. Anyone have recommendations? Thank you in advance! :)

Re: Protein Powder?

Can you tolerate whole grain/whole wheat bread, peanut butter, pasta (has 7 grams per 2oz), beans (refried beans in a burrito or qusidilla), legumes, eggs/dairy, protein bars? I think the daily value of protein for a pregnant or lactating woman is 71 grams per day.

Ican handle beans, pasta, and dairy. It's just meat, especially chicken, that gets me sick.

About Time Whey protein is all natural and delicious. I used it while pregnant for the same reasons!

You should be fine with your protein intake then, I would focus on Iron and make sure at your next blood draw the assess you for anemia of pregnancy. I have been a vegetarian for 21 years and am 32 weeks into my 2nd pregnancy. Ive never had a problem with protein---there is protein in so many foods other than meat/fish. It's iron that you have to watch out for. Both pregnancies I was slightly anemic starting in the 2nd Trimester despite trying to add as many iron rich foods as I could into my diet. I have to take a supplement (Fero Sequeals)....

I'm a vegetarian. If you're eating beans, nuts and dairy, I don't think you need to worry. My DH asked my dr about it and she said as long as I incorporate those things it's totally fine and there is a lot if protein in vegetables. The typical Anerican diet actually includes a lot more protein than our bodies need.

My dr did recommend boost shakes to me if I felt I couldn't keep food down.
