Gotta question about Ensure
posted 13th May
My appetite still have not picked up and I've lost about 4-5 pounds. I'm almost 10 weeks. I'm still a little worried that my baby isn't getting all the nutrients that he/she needs and I was wondering if Ensure Milk is safe to drink during pregnancy to maybe help make up for the protein that I've been lacking. Do anybody know?

I didn't start gaining weight til I was about 20 weeks and then oh boy did I gain. Weight gain isnt really something you need to worry about in the first trimester. Dont worry, it will happen. Your baby is incredibly tiny and doesnt need that much nutrients to survive yet.

ensure should be fine... i have drank boost with both pregnancies... it tastes way better and they have a high protein kind too

My first two pregnancies I lost 15-20 pounds in the first trimester due to Morning sickness. My doctors didnt seem too concerned except for the fact that I got dehydrated both times, so as long as you are hydrated and eating, even if its not a lot of eating, then you should be fine. If you dont start gaining in the second trimester that is when they will start worrying.

Ensure is perfectly fine, that's what my doctor recommended when I didn't have an appetite.
