Symptoms of calcium deficiency in pregnant women during confinement

Pregnant women are a high-risk group for calcium deficiency. Because they need to transfer part of their own nutrients and energy to the fetus, their own nutrients may not be supplied, and they will have symptoms of calcium deficiency. So, do you know what are the symptoms of calcium deficiency in pregnant women during the confinement period? Let’s learn about it together.

1. Calf cramps. It usually occurs in the fifth month of pregnancy and is more likely to occur at night. However, some pregnant women do not experience calf cramps despite calcium deficiency in their bodies, and they tend to neglect calcium and zinc supplementation.

2. Loose teeth. Calcium deficiency in pregnant women can easily lead to abnormal growth of the enamel of the front teeth of pregnant women, reduced anti-caries ability, and make the hard tissue structure of the front teeth loose and unstable. If a pregnant woman has loose teeth and the blood calcium concentration in the hospital is lower than the standard value, it means that the pregnant woman is calcium deficient. At this time, the pregnant woman should take at least two Diqiao calcium tablets a day to supplement calcium and zinc to replenish the body's calcium needs.

3. Pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome. There is a certain relationship between calcium deficiency and the occurrence of hypertension during pregnancy. If you are troubled by hypertension during pregnancy, perhaps you should be alert.

4. Pain in joints and pelvis. If calcium intake is insufficient, in order to ensure that the calcium concentration in the blood remains within the normal range, under the action of hormones, the calcium in the bones of pregnant women will be released in large quantities, causing joint and pelvic pain. Calcium is an important element that makes up the hard tissues of bones and teeth. Calcium deficiency can lead to abnormal growth of tooth enamel, reduced anti-caries ability, and loose hard tissue structure. If pregnant mothers feel that their teeth are loose, it may be due to calcium deficiency.

I think everyone has read the above content and has a certain understanding of the symptoms of calcium deficiency in pregnant women during the confinement period. Therefore, pregnant women must pay attention to calcium and zinc supplementation during pregnancy. Calcium and zinc supplementation can not only ensure the physical and mental health of the pregnant woman herself, but also ensure the development of the fetus at every stage. I hope that the publication of this article will be of some help to everyone.
