Pregnant after IF

Probiotics?

Anyone taking probiotics? I am overall doing great in the second trimester and off meds, but still bloaty and irregular. I don't want to take any medicine and my next OB appt isn't for several weeks. Lots of ladies on my BMB are taking them but I wanted to ask y'all because I think we are more cautious!

  • I'm going to ask my OB about taking some on Monday. Some of the ladies on my BMB are taking them too, I just figured I'd ask first. Zofran has really done a number on my GI tract and I am miserable!! I did buy some Activia, but it can only help so much, KWIM?

  • I've been taking them for a long time (before I started cycling).  I increased my dosage since becoming pregnant.  I do it for my baby’s health more than mine.  My naturopath showed me some information that taking probiotics can help reduce food allergies in children, which would be great.  I have a few allergies, not the usual, and I’m hoping that I don’t pass that along.  The probiotics supposedly help their developing digestive systems.

  • I've also been taking them for a few years. My integrative physician recommends Bio-Kult brand because it contains 3 strains of active probiotic that are shelf stable. You won't have to worry about refrigeration.

  • I have been taking them every day for over a year. I take 1/day. They are excellent for your overall health and even to avoid bacterial over growths in your vagina, which can be bad for a pregnancy.
