I started taking Pregnacare vitamins the moment I found out I was pregnant, about a week ago now.
I struggle with receding gums eventhough I’m just 19 and I’m experiencing nausea, therefore, I can’t bring myself to eat enough at the moment. I drank milk every night for 4 nights and every time I think of it now, I feel like throwing up. So today, I bought some calcium tablets that are 400mg per tablet, I took 2. They aren’t exclusively for pregnant women, and it says on the bottle to consult a doctor if pregnant before taking them. I ate some cheese today and some broccoli, the recommended daily amount of calcium for a pregnant woman is 1000 mg. The supplements plus what I ate should come to 1000 or perhaps slightly over.
This won’t harm my baby, will it?
I’m so scared of losing my teeth, the smell of food makes me gag and I wouldn’t get enough nutrients without the supplements.
