Probiotics from natural food sources and supplements are considered safe to take while you're pregnant. But it's always best to talk to your doctor or midwife before taking any supplements. If you do take a probiotic supplement, always ensure you follow the manufacturer's guidelines. Some natural sources include: - live yogurt - live yogurt drinks - miso and tempeh, which is made from fermented soya beans - some juices and soya drinks http://www.babycentre.co.uk/a1025252/probiotics-and-prebiotics-in-pregnancy
