I am pregnant and the Dr. told me I needed more protein b/c I am retaining too much fluid. Anyway, I can't stomach meat so I have been drinking protein shakes every morning and night. They taste so good to me! I justnoticed onthe label this morningthat it said not to use if you are pregnant.My husbandand I bothread the ingredients and didn't see anythat I shouldn't have but does anyone know anything more about this? I am thinking the warning is more from the perspective of using the shakes for weight loss? I go to the Dr. on Tuesday and will ask then aslo.

ask your dr. it is probably because of the herbs they use in the shake...why don't you bring the information to the dr. so they can check it out?

Yeah they have to put that just in case.. I know I am pregs and have drank them.. I have taken some of the vitamins even though they say not if pregs or check with doctor.. My doctor thought they were fine. Every dr. is different though and every pregs is not the same too.

The big thing with protein shakes is you need to drink a lot of water. If not, you could damage your kidneys. If you feel any back pain, cut back on the protein and increase your water intake.
