Pregnancy and protein shakes

Hello there!
First time and I love the website!!!
I am 31, and workout regularly at the gym. With weeks of kickboxing, steps and regular aerobics I started a year and a half ago to take protein shakes.
We are trying to conceive (ttc) and I was wondering if for some reason you are aware of any effects from the shakes before and during pregnancy. I have not talk to my doctor yet because I am not sure if I am pg.
Any information would be very appreciated.
Thank you.
Patricia.
 
Hi Patricia! As far as I know, I am not aware of any factual evidence stating that protein shakes before or during pregnancy could be harmful or cause negative side effects. I know that many pregnant women at our gym continued with protein bars/shakes and had normal pregnancies and healthy children.

I do not see them to be a problem at all before you are pregnant. But if you feel unsure once you are pregnant, than either have them in moderation or make them from real food(meaning don't buy the pre-made preservative filled kind).

I personally lost my taste for protein bars when I was pregnant. Good luck with everything!
