Milk for Pregnant women?

My friend is pregnant and she wants to know if she should be drinking skim milk or 2% milk.  She has always drunk skim milk, now she is 7 weeks pregnant and wants to know which would be better for her and the baby. Any help would be great.

It is fine if she keeps drinking skim milk.  The only difference between the different milks are the amount of fat.  The goal is that she is getting plenty of calcium and vitamin D.  If she is starting her pregnancy out underweight or anything it would be a really good idea to go up to the 2%, but otherwise the important things are just that she is drinking milk at all and that she takes her prenatal vitamins.  Hope that helps!
