I am 9 weeks pregnant and currently have an aversion to meat. i know i need more protein. can i supplement with protein powder? what brands are safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protein alternative: Beans are an excellent alternative source for proteins as opposed to meat. I cannot recommend any protein supplement in pregnancy as there are too many products that contain additional harmful to the pregnancy supplements.
