My report showed low calcium and im trying to understand why it happens. Im taking my supplements regularly also, so thoda confused hu. Whats the actual reason behind it?
Your baby takes calcium directly from your bones and teeth to grow, which is why our levels drop. Simply drink two glasses of milk daily, and include curd or paneer in your meals. Don't skip the calcium tablets your doctor gave you!
My doctor told me low calcium happens because the baby is growing fast in the 2nd trimester and absorbing our nutrients. Did anyone else get leg cramps because of this? I am taking supplements now, hope it gets better.
At my parents' house, my mother made sure I had a bowl of curd and ragi kheer daily. The baby takes all the calcium from us, so we have to eat extra dairy. Please take your doctor-prescribed tablets without fail every day.
The main reason is baby's bone development, but low Vitamin D also prevents calcium absorption. I made sure to walk in the morning sun only after my doctor allowed it. Take your supplements regularly as prescribed by your gynac.
When I had severe vomiting, I couldn't digest milk at all, which caused my calcium levels to drop. If you can't have milk, try having ragi ruti, buttermilk, or almonds. Make sure to talk to your gynac if you can't keep your supplements down.
