so this is my first pregnancy I was wondering what milk I should be drinking I'm use to drinking 2% milk but change to whole milk due to the fact that my new room mates drink this milk milk is milk it taste the same some say the change is okay some say that the saturated fat in whole milk is not good for pregnant women can someone give me some advice ? thanks
Both my OB and WIC said you should be drinking Fat Free milk (Skim) it goes Fat Free or Skim , 1%, 2%, than Whole Milk !
1 percent is so gross I figured out since I got wic I was buying it but I stopped now lol back to 2 percent cause I can't handle it it tastes like watered down
Drink whole milk!! Much better for you! You don't get anything from drinking fat free or 1%.
I know wic only offers 1% and skim...they don't offer whole milk until your child is 1
Milk is not a good source of calcium unless you are taking vitamin D with it because your body will not absorb the calcium without the vitamin D.. I just take calcium pills and vitamin D along with my prenatal and vitamin c of course :)
