Ensure during pregnancy...

[babypeanut25]

So im supposed to drink ensure during this pregnancy because i have 1. not gained a single pound NO MATTER what i eat! and 2. That being said im not a big eater AT ALL.

have you had to do that? If not what are you doing to get enough nutrients?

I wasn't instructed to use ensure butni did use it in the mornings for a while cuz I had t gained any weight up until 20 weeks. Also, it helped with my morning sickness in the dirt tri.

I was just recently put on ensure by my doctor because I haven't gained enough weight and there are some concerns about my baby's growth. I do one shake a day. I turn it into a smoothie with some strawberries which makes the taste a bit better .

I haven't gained a single pound either and I wouldn't mind but I eat like a horse during pregnancy and if I ate like I do now whilst not being pregnant I would put it on really quickly!

A midwife I spoke to just said to eat healthily and enough and to drink lots of water and cranberry juice.

If you don't like the ensure you might try the carnation instant breakfast. Tends to taste a bit better.
