Protein powder during pregnancy?

therequiiem

I have been using protein powder for shakes and in my oatmeal for the past month or so. I am also 27 weeks pregnant. The protein powder that I use is Quest vanilla, and the ingredients listed are:

Other Ingredients: Protein blend (whey protein isolate, micellar casein, milk protein isolate), cocoa, natural flavors, contains less than 2% of the following: sunflower lecithin, xanthan gum, cellulose gum, steviol glycosides (stevia), salt sucralose. Contains: milk-derived ingredients.

Is this powder safe during pregnancy? My one midwife said protein powders are fine but that’s just one opinion haha.

Ask your doctor ultimately, but yes. Protein powder is just food
