Extra calcium?

Question

Is anyone taking an extra calcium supplement? I don’t think I get enough dairy from food and it’s pretty low on my prenatal...they say the baby will take from your bones if you don’t get enough so I plan on taking extra calcium from now on, but curious if anyone else is?

Answer

I do too. Just a 500mg capsule that I bought over the counter. I wasn’t getting enough from dairy in my diet and I was worried about my babys bone growth and also teeth damage to myself if I didn’t have enough calcium. I’m glad I started when I did, because I did start having teeth issues. I talked to my doctor before, as I would suggest you do as they need to be aware of every supplement you’re on.

Answer

I don’t drink milk, but can’t take calcium tablets due to kidney stones. Just discuss with your doctor. And don’t forget your vitamin D! It’s required to absorb calcium

Answer

I do!
