Detailed explanation-1: -Calcium is a mineral that builds your fetus’s bones and teeth. Women who are age 18 or younger need 1, 300 mg of calcium per day. Women who are 19 or older need 1, 000 mg per day. Milk and other dairy products, such as cheese and yogurt, are the best sources of calcium.
Detailed explanation-2: -Folic acid, iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin C, and vitamin D (in addition to energy and protein), are the main micronutrients for which the requirement physiologically increases during pregnancy and lactation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Soft-boned fish are an excellent source of calcium. In fact, half a can of sardines in brine will give you almost half your RDI in one dish. It’s important to limit your use of sardines to two portions of oily fish per week when pregnant.
