Calcium is a very important part of the human body, pregnant women is a more special period, so calcium supplement is particularly important, and pregnant women supplement calcium methods are more, you can directly eat calcium tablets, can also be obtained from food.

Drinking more coffee is easy to lack calcium.

Nowadays, the phenomenon of calcium deficiency in women is increasing day by day. When drinking coffee becomes a habit, coffee accelerates the excretion of calcium from the urine; when keeping fit is necessary, who of the beauties likes to drink milk and eat pig liver? When sunscreen becomes necessary for whitening, vitamin D synthesis in the body is insufficient. All these lead to the loss of a large amount of calcium unconsciously. There are a lot of women who have not begun to take calcium supplements after 10 weeks of pregnancy, so they have to make up for their knowledge before they get pregnant.

Effect of calcium deficiency during pregnancy on fetus

The fetus suffers from congenital rickets due to calcium deficiency, and the fetus does not get enough calcium, which is prone to neonatal congenital laryngeal chondromalacia. When the newborn inhales, the congenital cartilage curls and comes into contact with the larynx, which is easy to block the entrance of the larynx and produce snoring, which is very disadvantageous to the health of the newborn. More importantly, the fetus is deficient in calcium intake, and is extremely prone to rickets after birth, such as osteomalacia, abnormal closure of square skull, anterior fontanelle, rib beads, chicken breast or funnel brain.

Calcification of fetal bones and teeth begins at 2 months and accelerates suddenly 8 months later, so a large amount of calcium is absorbed from the maternal blood to meet the needs. If pregnant women are deficient in calcium, there may be an imbalance in calcium metabolism. Calcium is necessary to maintain neurological function and muscle contractility. When the concentration of serum calcium in normal people is about 9-11 mg%, which is lower than 7-7.7 mg%, it can lead to increased neuromuscular stress, and leg cramps occur. In severe cases, decalcification occurs in the maternal bone, which softens the bone and even loses teeth. If the fetus does not get enough calcium, it is easy to have congenital laryngeal chondromalacia of the newborn. When the newborn inhales, the congenital cartilage curls and comes into contact with the larynx, which is easy to block the entrance of the larynx and produce snoring, which is very disadvantageous to the health of the newborn. More importantly, the fetus is deficient in calcium intake, and is extremely prone to rickets after birth, such as osteomalacia, abnormal closure of square skull, anterior fontanelle, rib beads, chicken breast or funnel brain.

Calcium balance test shows that pregnant women only eat 1.5 grams of calcium a day in order to achieve balance. The source of calcium in our diet is insufficient, therefore, pregnant women should choose to eat more calcium-rich foods, such as potherb, mustard, kelp, Laver, Hawthorn, hard fruit and beans. Milk, shrimp skin and sesame paste, vitamin D can help the absorption of calcium, so in the diet to appropriately increase foods rich in vitamin D, such as cream, egg yolk, animal liver and so on. Because calcium is easy to combine with phytic acid and oxalic acid in food to form insoluble calcium salt, so calcium can not be fully absorbed and utilized. Therefore, foods rich in phytic acid and oxalic acid, such as spinach, bamboo shoots, cabbage, wild wheat, oats, etc., should not be cooked with calcium-rich foods.
