I'm focusing on getting all the essential nutrients for my baby. How much calcium is actually needed during pregnancy? I want to ensure I'm meeting the recommended intake.
My MIL made sure I drank two big glasses of milk daily and ate ragi rotis for natural calcium. Of course, my doctor also prescribed calcium tablets which I took regularly. Definitely ask your doctor what dosage is correct for you.
Praying for your healthy pregnancy! Along with a nutritious diet with dairy products is wonderful for calcium. Do talk to your lady doctor, she will guide you on the exact supplements needed for your body.
During my pregnancy after my loss, I made sure to follow my doctor's instructions to the letter. She told me exactly how much calcium and iron I needed based on my blood tests. Please consult your gynecologist so they can give you the right prescription.
Apart from the supplements your doctor prescribes, you can get natural calcium from paneer, curd, and sesame seeds. It's really good for the baby's bones. But please don't take any over-the-counter calcium pills without your doctor's advice.
Carrying twins meant my babies were literally draining all the calcium from my bones, so my doctor doubled my dosage! Don't guess the amount yourself. Just let your gynac write the prescription based on your reports.
