Talk to your doc about taking calcium pills as opposed to drinking milk if you really don't care for it.

I took calcium pills since I feel the same way about milk and am a little lactose intolerant. My ob recommended some for me.

Thanks Steph and Rachael!!

I drink Chocolate milk cause I can't stand regular milk (only in cereal). I didn't ask my doctor, but right now it's the best I can do and it's way more than i was ingesting before I was pregnant. I also religiously take my prenatals and eat lots of cheese, buy OJ with calcium, ice cream...

NOT ONLY IS IT OK ITS JUST AS HEALTHY AS PLAIN WHITE MILK!!! SO DRINK UP!!!!

Agreed...drink your little heart out. Your are still receiving the same amout of calcium with a few added calories!

NISSA,
WHEN I WAS PREGNANT I CRAVED CHOCOLATE MILK, I GOT THE SILK CHOCOLATE MILK. ITS SOY, BUT VERY GOOD.

Nissa...The current research is now showing that milk consumption should not be increased in pregnancy. The doctor at my work recently told me that...calcium supplements are just fine. Maybe do a little research on this as I cannot remember why he said not to increase milk. Just thought I'd let you know so you could avoid any probs or putting yourself throught that torture!

Thanks so much ladies for you help!

I was so nautious for the first few months, and I found that choclate milk helped a lot!! It is just as nutritious as white milk!!
