Should I take calcium supplements?

Question

I don't eat much dairy, I just don't care for it and I don't like milk. I'll eat milk with cereal or in food (milk in a cake, milk in a meatloaf, etc.) My Dr said I should take a supplement then and take Tums when needed.. But I get really bad heartburn (at least with my last pregnancy, the entire second half of my pregnancy) and I can feel it starting now occasionally.

So a pregnant young woman needs 1000-1500 mg a day..

My supplement had 630 mg

Tums have 400mg per tab

If I take the supplement and get bad heartburn will I get too much calcium? When it's bad I'll take 3-6 tabs in a day.

Answer

I take the Women's Prenatal Program from GNC. It has the folic acid, iron, DHA and an extra calcium pill (1200 mg in all) I don't care for dairy either, so it's the perfect prenatal for me! I would definitely recommend

Answer

I also dislike regular milk. My prenatal has some calcium but not very much. So, I drink a lot of calcium orange juice and chocolate milk, plus mozzarella cheese sticks!
