I am pregnant. I heard that my friend said that calcium supplementation is needed during the second trimester. Do you want to consult pregnant women about calcium supplementation?

    There is a prerequisite for calcium supplementation since the middle of pregnancy, that is, calcium intake is sufficient during early pregnancy or before pregnancy (800 mg per day). However, many young women can't do this, and if they usually consume calcium, they will not meet the standard (800 mg per day). Therefore, you should increase your calcium intake (calcium supplementation) as soon as you discover pregnancy or even during pregnancy.
