Sorry for the long ass title

I went back to the gym for the first time since I got pregnant tonight and my husband handed me a drink and said "hey drink this". I don't think he was thinking and didn't bother to read the label. The pre workout was Jack3d.

So I plan on pumping and dumping and feeding her my frozen breast milk. How many times should I pump and dump before it's okay to breast feed again? It only has 100 mg of caffeine but it's the other ingredients that was a huge concern.

Also, while we are on the subject. Any of you breastfeeding mom's who workout out know of a safe energy booster before the gym? I can live without out one of course, but it's always nice to get a little boost especially since it's been like 10 months since I've touched gym equipment.

I also posted this in health & Fitness

    My body does not handle pre-workouts well, so I've literally stuck to just having a cup of coffee in the mornings before I work out. Once I'm cleared,I'm assuming I'll do the same.

    I was thinking either coffee or a sugar free red bull?

    Bananas are good afterward, to help your muscles recover.

    You don't need it and it won't help your performance. Do something more natural like fruit and protein/carb before hand. I would avoid energy drinks because they put so much random crap in them.

    This. What the hell is Jack3D? It sounds awful. Get your protein and complex carbs from wholesome foods, not energy bars and drinks. In general, that's a good rule of thumb to follow.

    A breakfast with some protein and a banana and cup of half-caffeine coffee.

    I have the same question! I love jack3d and have been working out the entire pregnancy- 3 supersets today at 6 days past-due! I was taking it 2-3 x a week when we found out we were expecting and I couldn't get a straight answer about the chrysanthemums ingredient that took it off shelves here in Canada. Obviously I haven't taken it since, but I think I plan to pump and dump as though it were a drug- however long the dr would recommend for that.

    Good luck with your workouts!!

    No idea! Before pregnancy I used to take amino acids to help with general energy and recovery but I'm too concerned with bf to take that or even protein powder (natural added to a smoothie) because I can't find any answers. I'd just stay away and eat/drink natural foods :)

    I think I posted this before I spoke to my obgyn (my 6 week pp check up). She said it was fine to drink as long as I metabolized it fast enough. So she told me to drinks tons of water to flush out your system, which I do anyways. As long as you pee within an hour and make sure your pee is pretty close to clear. Her only concern was the caffeine intake but it isn't anymore than 200 mg. In fact, I think it is less. I'm sorry but when I'm running on just a few hours of sleep a night, oatmeal and a banana isn't going to give me the boost I need.
