Women must supplement more calcium during pregnancy, and the human body cannot fully absorb calcium after taking it, so they should get more sun exposure, because sun exposure can supplement the lack of vitamin D in the body and promote calcium absorption. When women reach the middle stage of pregnancy, it is the time when the fetus grows the fastest and the fetus needs calcium the most. So how much calcium do you need in the middle stage of pregnancy? Calcium intake during early pregnancy: 800 mg/day The early pregnancy is the period of cell division and initial organ development and formation. The calcium requirement of pregnant mothers is the same as that of ordinary adults. Drinking 250 ml of fresh milk or yogurt every day can provide 250 mg of calcium. Combined with the calcium provided by other foods and getting more sun exposure, it can generally meet the body's daily calcium needs. No additional calcium supplementation is required. Calcium supplementation during pregnancy is also one of the important tasks for pregnant mothers. Calcium intake during the second trimester: 1000 mg/day During the rapid growth period of the fetus, the intake increases. Drink 500 ml of milk or yogurt every day. For pregnant mothers who are not used to drinking milk, you can supplement about 500 mg of calcium tablets every day, and eat some calcium-rich foods such as dried shrimps, bean curd, soybeans and green leafy vegetables. Generally, this can be achieved. At the same time, do some outdoor sports and enjoy sunbathing to promote the body's absorption of calcium. Calcium intake in late pregnancy: 1200 mg/day As the fetus continues to grow, the demand for calcium increases further. Drink 500 ml of milk or yogurt every day, take 500 mg of calcium tablets, and eat some calcium-rich foods to get the required amount of calcium. Of course, don't forget the daily sunshine, which should be no less than one hour a day in winter and about half an hour in summer. Also, try to avoid the sunlight between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the ultraviolet rays are the strongest. |
