Doc started me on calcium along with my other tablets but i keep forgetting when exactly to take it, morning ya night. Im 18 weeks now. Also heard u shouldnt have it right with iron, is that true? pls clear my confusion.
Calcium supplementation during pregnancy is usually prescribed by your doctor. The timing and dosage depend on your individual needs and dietary intake. It's crucial to consult your gynac for precise advice on when to start taking it, for your and the baby's safety.
Oh, calcium! My gynac put me on it pretty early, especially since I was expecting twins and they need double the resources, haha! But seriously, your doc will prescribe it when they feel your body and baby need it most. Don't self-medicate.
My mom and my doctor both told me I should start taking calcium tablets from the second trimester onwards. They say it's very important for the baby's bones and for my own health too. Just make sure your doctor gives you the prescription.
Most doctors suggest starting calcium supplements around the second trimester for good bone development of the baby. But it's best to confirm with your own gynac to know the right time for you.
It's totally normal to wonder about all these supplements! Your doctor will usually start you on calcium supplements in your second trimester, or whenever they feel your diet isn't enough. They monitor your levels, so just trust their timing. No need to worry excessively.
