i've been drinking soy milk throughout my pregnancy. (fat-free So Good). there's no problem with drinking soy is there? will it affect baby? i can drink skim cow's milk but i just prefer soy. :)

from what i know, you shouldn't drink soy milk and soy product when ttc. but after that, it should be no problem. in fact, i heard that drinking soy milk during pregnancy gives your baby very smooth and fair skin. i am drinking a glass a day now and i am 23 weeks pg.

I drank soy milk throughout my first and second pregnancies, and while breast feeding... not a problem, and my doctor (who is very conservative about everything) agreed it was fine and a good way to get my calcium.
(of course buying the type with added calcium and no sugar)

Plain soy milk generally has very low amount of calcium, ~40mg when compared with the cow's milk (250-300 mg). It's better to check the food labeling if calcium is fortified for the soy milk. A pregnant woman needs ~1000-1200mg Calcium per day.
Hope you find it's useful.

I drank soy milk and milk with my first 2 pregnancies kids came out fine with good skin not a problem. There are alot of things we arent supposed to eat but somehow still do and our kids come out just fine. If you like the soy milk keep drinking it. So Good has alot of vitamins which are good for the baby.
