In order to give birth to healthy baby, pregnant mothers try many ways to ensure sufficient nutrition during pregnancy. Calcium is very important for it concerns the growth of baby. Here are some tips for pregnant women: The effect is better to supplement calcium in less amount but more times. When take in calcium tablet, you could choose a small dose and take it in two or three times. The effect of drinking 500ml in two or three times is better than drinking it off once. Choose the best time of calcium supplement. Calcium is easily combined with oxalic acid and phytic acid and it could influence the absorption of calcium. The best time is before sleep or between two meals. You can take calcium half hour after supper, because the blood calcium concentration is the lowest in the later night and morning. Bone soup is not the best way to supplement calcium. Boil 1kg pork meat to cook soup for two hours, the calcium amount in the soup is only about 20mg. Thus the amount is far from satisfaction. What’s more, the fat content in bone soup is very high. When you drink the soup, you also take in a lot of fat. So, pregnant mothers should not take it as the unique way to supplement calcium. Supply vitamin D at the same time. Vitamin D could regulate calcium and phosphorus metabolism and promote calcium absorption. Except for eating vitamin D, you could also synthesize it by bathing under the sunshine. Half hour of outdoor activities every day is enough to produce vitamin D. But the overdose will lead to loss of appetite, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, nausea, vomiting and other side effects. However, excessive calcium will lead to calcium deposition in the vessel wall in the placenta, causing placental aging, calcification, and decreased secretion of amniotic fluid and hard head. As a result, the baby cannot get adequate nutrition and oxygen, and hard head will also extend the delivery process and threaten baby health. Therefore, calcium supplement should be done in a scientific way and do not supply it blindly.
