Someone in my family gave me shelcal saying calcium is good now that im pregnant. But i havent asked my own gynac yet. Is it fine to start on my own or should i wait? Im around 4 months.
Umm, I'm not sure about specific medicines like Shelcal. I'm just trying to conceive, so I'm only taking the folic acid my doctor gave me. I think any medicine during pregnancy should always be discussed with your gynac, just to be safe. It's better not to take anything without their advice.
Oh, Shelcal! I was wondering about this too, since I'm planning for pregnancy soon. I see a lot of pregnant women take it. I guess it's a common calcium supplement, right? But I'm also curious if it's okay for everyone or only if the doctor prescribes it.
After my loss, I became incredibly careful about every single thing I put into my body, including supplements. While Shelcal is a common calcium tablet, it's absolutely vital to take it *only* if your doctor has prescribed it to *you*. Every pregnancy is different, and what's safe for one might not be right for another. Please speak to your gynac.
Yes, Shelcal (calcium + D3) is a very common and generally safe supplement prescribed during pregnancy. It's important for both your bones and the baby's development. However, like any medication or supplement, you must take it *only* if your doctor has prescribed it to you and exactly as they've told you. Don't self-medicate.
Shelcal? Oh, I remember my doc gave me calcium tabs! I was so focused on eating calcium-rich foods like paneer and curd to satisfy my cravings, I almost forgot about the supplements sometimes, haha. But seriously, just take whatever your gynac tells you to, those are important for the baby's bones!
Shelcal is a calcium and vitamin D3 supplement, which is very commonly prescribed during pregnancy to support fetal bone development and maternal bone health. My doctor prescribed it to me from my second trimester onwards. Usually, it's 500mg or 1000mg depending on your needs. Always take it as per your doctor's exact dosage and recommendation, never self-medicate.
