What is the best calcium supplement for pregnancy?
My doctor said calcium will start soon, but there are so many brands that I am confused. I also get acidity with some tablets. Which one suited you after your gynac prescribed?
I asked my doctor for a good but not super expensive option and she happily gave one. No need to fall for fancy imported ones. Whatever the gynac writes works fine, dont let medical shop upsell u costlier stuff.
Dont buy any calcium off the shelf on ur own. The gynac prescribes the right one for u, both times my doc gave me a specific brand and dose. Different bodies need different amounts, so let the doctor decide, not the chemist.
Honestly there is no single best, it depends on what ur doctor prescribes and how ur body absorbs it. Some get the type that also has vitamin D since that helps absorption. Just take whatever ur gynac gives and have it as told, not with milk or iron at same time usually.
Along with whatever the doctor gives, my mom made sure I had ragi, curd, milk, til ladoo, good natural calcium. But for the supplement itself, only take what ur doctor advises na, dont guess the brand on ur own.
