tuns as calcium supplement?

Question

Just discovered my nature made prenatal doesn't only gives me 12% of my daily needs calcium 😱. My doc won't see me for 1st appt until Jan 23rd and I'll be 9 weeks by then. How have you been supplementing your calcium?

We have tums at home already can I just eat one of those daily ?

I do drink 1 cup of milk and eat a yogurt daily, but adding it up I'm still majorly lacking in calcium 😞 thought I was doing so well with my food choices. It's my first pregnancy and am so nervous of not doing the best I can for the baby😳

Answer

Calcium is in more things than we think, so you might be doing okay. That said, I've been taking tums sometimes for extra calcium when I'm worried it's low. I don't know about taking it daily. That might be a question your OB or OB nurse could answer over the phone.

Answer

I've just been taking a calcium supplement with vitamin D(your body needs the vitamin d to process the calcium otherwise it just pees it out😂).
Taking too many tums isn't good for you either, so I would ask your doctor! I take them often thanks to heartburn etc but I'm not sure how taking it daily or in what amounts is safe while pregnant

Answer

I get the orange juice with added calcium.
