Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What supplements are best for calcium deficiency in pregnant women?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women need 40 grams of calcium throughout their entire pregnancy, most of which is accumulated in the first three months. During these three months, they need to supplement with 1.2 grams of calcium daily. Some pregnant women experience leg cramps, and supplementing with calcium can alleviate these symptoms. Generally, calcium supplementation can be approached from the following three aspects:(1) Drink 250 grams of milk in the morning and evening each day to supplement approximately 600 milligrams of calcium.
(2) Eat more calcium-rich foods, such as bone broth, fish, and shrimp.
(3) Supplement with calcium, preferably with a calcium supplement that is highly absorbable.
