What are the symptoms of calcium deficiency in pregnant women

We all know that the physical condition of pregnant women during pregnancy must not be ignored, because pregnant women belong to one body, two lives, so at this time, the food eaten by a pregnant woman is equivalent to two people eating, and two people are absorbing nutrients. For the healthy growth and development of the fetus in the body, pregnant women must eat more nutrients and supplement calcium in time. They must not be deficient in calcium. So what are the symptoms of calcium deficiency in pregnant women?

During the growth and development of the fetus, the calcium in the pregnant woman's body will be actively transferred to the fetus through the placenta. In addition to providing a large amount of calcium to the fetus, pregnant women are also prone to hypocalcemia due to the increase in their own circulating blood volume, which reduces the blood calcium concentration. Symptoms of calcium deficiency in pregnant women include:

1. Calf cramps: usually occur during the 5th month of pregnancy and often occur at night. However, some pregnant mothers, although lacking calcium in their bodies, do not show symptoms of calf cramps and tend to neglect calcium supplementation. (Note: Cramps during pregnancy are not always caused by calcium deficiency!)

2. Loose teeth: Calcium is the main element that constitutes the hard tissue of human bones and teeth. Calcium deficiency can cause abnormal development of tooth enamel, reduced anti-caries ability, and loose hard tissue structure. If pregnant mothers feel loose teeth, it may be due to calcium deficiency.

3. Pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome: Calcium deficiency has a certain relationship with the occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension. If you are troubled by pregnancy-induced hypertension, perhaps you should be alert.

4. Joint and pelvic pain: If calcium intake is insufficient, in order to ensure that the calcium concentration in the blood is maintained within the normal range, under the action of hormones, a large amount of calcium in the bones of pregnant women will be released, causing joint and pelvic pain.

Symptoms of calcium deficiency in pregnant women 1: Calf cramps, mainly manifested as calf cramps when pregnant women are sleeping soundly at night. If a pregnant woman shows signs of calcium deficiency, it means that the calcium in her body is no longer enough to meet her and her baby's growth needs. In this case, she should take a tablet of Diqiao Calcium tablet orally every day to supplement the body's calcium needs.

Symptoms of calcium deficiency in pregnant women 2: Loose teeth. Calcium deficiency in pregnant women can easily cause abnormal development of tooth enamel, decreased anti-caries ability, and make the hard tissue structure of the teeth loose and weak. If a pregnant woman has loose teeth and the hospital's blood calcium test shows that the concentration is lower than normal, it means that the pregnant woman is calcium deficient. At this time, the pregnant woman should take at least two tablets of Diqiao calcium tablets orally every day to supplement the body's calcium needs.

Symptoms of calcium deficiency in pregnant women 3: Pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome. The occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension is often related to calcium deficiency in pregnant women. If gestational hypertension occurs, pregnant women should check whether it is caused by calcium deficiency.
