Introduction:
Q: Is toothache during pregnancy related to calcium deficiency?
A: It is somewhat related to calcium deficiency. However, pregnant women shouldn't take too much calcium supplements or calcium tablets, as it may easily lead to constipation. I remember when I was about four months pregnant, I also experienced a period of toothache. There wasn’t any serious issue; it was just that some calcium had been taken by the baby. I often used mouthwash and drank more bone soup, and after two weeks, everything was fine.
Q: If you drink cola every day in early pregnancy and throughout pregnancy, will it affect the baby?
A: Cola can cause calcium loss. During pregnancy, the mother transfers a large amount of calcium to the baby, which leads to calcium deficiency in the mother's body. This can also greatly affect the baby because the high sugar content in cola can cause excessive sugar levels in the body. Long-term consumption can lead to diabetes and other symptoms. Drinking cola during pregnancy will definitely have an impact on the baby. It is harmful for the baby’s development and offers no benefits. For the sake of the next generation, think carefully before acting.
Q: Should pregnant women take calcium tablets every day?
A: Hello, after becoming pregnant, it is necessary to take calcium supplements or consume foods rich in calcium. It is recommended to frequently drink stewed bone soup! Here's how: Boil the bones briefly in water, discard the foam, and then continue cooking over low heat. Once almost done, add a spoonful of vinegar and simmer for about 30 minutes. The purpose of adding vinegar is to convert the calcium in the bones into calcium ions so that you can absorb effective calcium ions! This method works really well!
Q: I am 24 weeks pregnant, and last night I woke up suddenly due to back pain. Is this a sign of premature birth?
A: Signs of premature birth only start appearing after the 28th week. At 24 weeks, waking up at night due to back pain could be caused by several reasons:
1. Calcium deficiency. After the fifth month, the fetus develops rapidly and requires a large amount of calcium. When there is insufficient calcium in the mother's body, it often causes lower back pain (especially waking up at night), and in severe cases, muscle cramps (which usually occur at night or when waking up in the morning). You should already be taking calcium supplements. Pregnant women should take professional calcium supplements, choosing products with appropriate calcium content, such as Bao Ling prenatal calcium, and it’s best to take them half an hour before bedtime. However, taking calcium supplements doesn't necessarily mean you have enough calcium. Calcium supplements (about 500 mg daily) only provide about one-third of the daily calcium requirement, and the rest must be obtained through regular meals. Therefore, it is generally recommended to eat an egg and drink a glass of milk in the morning, include suitable animal-based foods in lunch and dinner, consume more soy products, and get some sunlight exposure when possible.
2. Increased kidney burden. The pain occurs in the "kidney" area because pregnancy increases the burden on the kidneys. Generally, it manifests as a feeling of heaviness in the "kidney" area, which can occur both during the day and at night, but more commonly during the day. Additionally, you may feel very tired throughout the day.
3. An improper sleeping posture during sleep can also cause pain in certain parts of the body. Therefore, your condition is not related to signs of premature birth. You should analyze it based on the above reasons.
Q: I am three months pregnant, and I can't sleep at night. My legs cramp. Does this indicate calcium deficiency? Can pregnant women take Lohas calcium supplements?
A: Yes, this is a sign of severe calcium deficiency, and taking Lohas calcium can quickly relieve and eliminate the symptoms.
