I am also planning my pregnancy and wondering the same thing! Is it possible to get enough calcium just from ghar ka khana, or are tablets compulsory? Let's see what the doctors usually prescribe during the checkups.
Look, the standard requirement is about 1000 mg to 1200 mg daily. But don't just rely on milk and curd. You will definitely need the calcium tablets your doctor prescribes, so make sure you don't skip them.
I was reading about this recently while planning. I think we need around 1000 mg of calcium daily, but it's best to ask a doctor. I'm trying to include more milk and paneer in my diet just to be safe.
You need enough calcium so that the baby doesn't steal all of yours and leave you with weak teeth! Usually, doctors recommend 1000 mg a day. So keep drinking your milk, even if you hate the smell of it right now!
Along with my daily light walks, I make sure to take my 1000 mg calcium supplement regularly as advised by my doc. Strong bones are so important for carrying the baby! I also eat ragi and yogurt to keep my levels naturally high.
