Calcium supplements?

Hi Moms, I'm 17wks and currently taking prenatal vitamin which contains 150mg of Calcium. My body doesn't tolerate lactose well so I don't drink milk. Do I need to take additional calcium supplements? My friends told me they experienced joint pains and loosening teeth at the 3rd trimester probably due to calcium deficiency 😰 #firstbaby #pleasehelp

best to get your calcium source from food. soy milk is a great alternative to cows milk. give it a try. I personally find Vitasoy Lite and Creamy delicious.

Thanks a lot for your recommendation 😘 I'm trying to include more calcium-rich foods in my diet as well. I made homemade soy milk but wasn't sure if it contained enough calcium. The Vitasoy Lite seems to be a good substitute 👍
