Can i take calcium tablets at my 9th month pregnancy?
Im in my last month and got leg cramps a lot at night. Was wondering if calcium is still okay to continue this late. Will check with doc also but wanted to know what others did in 9th month.
Arey dear, absolutely! In fact, most doctors keep you on calcium and iron supplements right till the delivery and even during breastfeeding. Just stick to the exact brand and dosage your gynac prescribed.
Yes, calcium is very important in the 9th month as the baby's bones are finalizing their development. But please don't take any self-medication, always confirm with your doctor first, especially if you have other conditions like diabetes.
My hospital nurse and gynecologist gave me a strict schedule for all supplements including calcium during my 9th month check-up. You should definitely check with your hospital team to see if they want you to continue yours.
I'm in my 9th month too and my daily routine is basically popping these huge calcium and iron pills while trying not to waddle like a penguin! Yes, my doctor said they are super important till the very end.
