Has anyone heard that protein shakes are unsafe in pregnancy? I've been drinking whey protein shakes in the morning about 3 times a week. Now I just stumbled across this blip online that says it's "controversial" and when I google I'm finding mixed info on it. It sounds like too much vitamin A or artificial sweeteners are the reasons to avoid it? The one I take is a GNC whey protein that is sweetened with stevia and natural flavors and no vitamin A. I just read every last word on the bottle and it doesn't saying anything about pregnancy but it just freaks me out, I had no idea it could possibly be bad??

Edited: words
I've been drinking protein shakes since day one.
And @Risplus1 -- its usually the artificial sweeteners that leave that nasty after taste. Have you tried a protein like Premier Protein, which has no artificial sweeteners? If doesn't give me that nasty sweet after taste when I'm done with them.
