Can you supplement calcium during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Can I take calcium supplements during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

At one month of pregnancy, calcium supplements are not necessary. Generally, as the needs of the fetus grow, calcium supplements should be started after 16 weeks of pregnancy, which is about four months, to meet the developmental needs of the fetus. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a B examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. It is also important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
