Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Lei
Yes. During pregnancy, especially in the late stages, calcium deficiency gradually occurs as the fetus develops. Pregnant women need to maintain adequate levels of vitamins to meet the baby's growth requirements. It's important for pregnant women to consume sufficient vitamin D, which helps promote calcium absorption in the body. Additionally, the dosage should be determined according to a doctor's diagnosis; pregnant women should not take supplements arbitrarily.
