What kind of calcium supplement is good for pregnant women?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

If you take too many calcium supplements, it is not only easy to cause premature closure of the fetal cranial sutures, leading to dystocia, but it can also make the placenta age prematurely, causing poor fetal development. Additionally, a large uterus compresses pelvic blood vessels and ureters. If combined with high urinary calcium, it increases the risk of forming urinary stones. Furthermore, excessive calcium intake is not conducive to the absorption and utilization of other trace elements such as iron, zinc, magnesium, and phosphorus, especially iron, which can easily lead to anemia.
