So we went to costco and I bought a case of Activia yogurt. My husband threw a fit saying that the yogurt would hurt the baby because of the live yeast. He means well but Im curious now, am I doing harm to the baby?

Debra - 1209 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) no, you are not doing harm to your baby. YOur gut has live bacteria in it already and this only promotes it and aids in your digestion. Yogurt is great source of calcium. I also recommend taking acidophilous supplements during pregnancy as i found it does a few great things- 1. decreases acid reflux (aka heartburn) as it promotes digestions, 2. decreases your chances of developing a yeast infection as pregnant women are prone to getting them b/c of hormones and decreased immune response. 3. boosts your immune system in general b/c you are promoting healthy digestion. See my VIP site for more etc.

kater - 1210 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) its good for you-especially if you have the dreaded pregnancy symptom thrush!! if you were worried about yeast, you would have to stop eating bread too. if pregnant women couldnt eat bread, it would be a very commonly known thing, as its one of lifes staples. eat it, its healthy and definitely wont do you or bub any harm at all!!

The "good" bacteria are passed onto the baby and help with the little ones immune system. It also keeps them protected from vaccinations that can make babies sick. You did the right thing! Eat your yogurt everyday!!!!
