whey protein in pregnancy
I've used the search function here to find out a little about the safety of whey protein use during pregnancy and I've come up with mixed reactions about whether it's okay to take. Because of the mixed reactions, I decided I'd avoid whey just in case. However, I'm at a point that I have major food aversions and I think protein shakes and just drinking milk will be the only way I can get in adequate protein. Meat and fish make me gag, as does Greek yogurt, my former favorite protein-rich food. I get small amounts from cheese and peanut butter, but that is it. So...what do you ladies think? Do you have any good links to studies that conclude that whey is safe. Or just advice? Or first-hand experience? I know there are a lot of women here who are or have been pregnant, did any of you drink whey protein shakes while pregnant? I mean, I know whey is food product because it comes from milk so I can't imagine that it wouldn't be okay. But I just want to be sure.
