Calcium intake needs to be increased during pregnancy to ensure that the calcium in the bones of pregnant women is not insufficient fetus Calcium needs to be consumed in large quantities. The Chinese Nutrition Society recommends a daily calcium intake of 1,000 mg starting from the 16th week of pregnancy and increasing to 1,500 mg in the third trimester, preferably calcium citrate. Milk and dairy products contain more calcium and are easily absorbed. It is recommended that pregnant women drink more milk and dairy products. However, excessive calcium supplementation during pregnancy may cause poor fetal skull deformation during delivery, so it is still recommended that pregnant women mainly adjust their diet.
