pregnancy milk - yay or nay?
Hi, is it a must to drink mummy's milk during pregnancy? Because I find it abit heaty and I stop drinking for like one month. But my friend told me that it is important to drink until I give birth.
It is NOT a must, it is a good to have for some people. Being pregnant would mean that u require slightly more of some nutrients as compared to normal women - folic acid, calcium, zinc, iron etc. But if ur Gyne has prescribed to u supplements/prenatal vitamins then you are covered - u can find out from your Gyne what the supplements he is giving u are covering for u alrdy and what else if any u should take. Those mother's milk are really just another form of supplement - a convenient form. However, it is IMPORTANT to check with ur Gyne if u intend to change ur diet and eat stuff that u usually don't eat. Do note too much supplements will cause heaty or constipation which is a MAJOR no-no. So hold off that milk - talk to ur Gyne
