Dee Dee: Congratulations on your pregnancy! It is my understanding that probiotics can be very beneficial during pregnancy. I seem to remember seeing some studies which showed a beneficial effect on helping to prevent eczema & allergies in the baby. It is also my understanding that digestive enzymes are safe during pregnancy, provided they are vegetarian enzymes. I know that it is not recommended to take pancreatin during pregnancy. You should definitely check with your doctor on this. From a mother-to-mother stand point I can honestly say that I personally would take both of these supplements if I were to have another baby. Best wishes on your pregnancy!
ColleenSJ: If you are ordering probiotics online, be sure that they are shipped cold and that you store them in your refrigerator as soon as you get them. Good luck.
