can't drink milk during pregnancy

Hi Moms, I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant, and I've been having a hard time with milk. The smell of it makes me feel nauseous, so I haven't been able to drink it at all during my pregnancy. At my last ultrasound, my doctor mentioned that my baby is measuring a bit smaller than expected for this stage. I'm really worried and wondering if my inability to drink milk might be causing this low fetal weight. Has anyone else experienced something similar? What did you do to make sure you and your baby got the necessary nutrients without drinking milk? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much for your help!

Hi there. I'm only at week 21 and I'm only drinking either a cup of meiji milk or taking yogurt daily. I asked my gynae if I need to drink all those prenatal milk (I hate milk powder, makes me nausea too!) and he said it's not needed, but I'm just drinking some fresh milk or taking some yogurt since I think there's no harm in giving the baby boy in me more calcium for bone growth. In case you're worried that your baby needs the calcium, then maybe try Immunotec Pure Milk Calcium supplement? that's what my doctor prescribed for me, 2 tablets a day. Hope that your baby weight goes on track soon!
