Brief Summary  
Physiological changes occur in pregnancy and maintaining maternal homeostasis and enabling fetal growth and development have direct association on calcium metabolism. Increased intestinal calcium absorption, increased urine calcium excretion, and increased bone turnover are all part of the calcium homeostatic response during pregnancy. From 6th month onwards, with the third trimester being bulk of calcium utilized, when fetal skeletal growth peaks at 250 to 350 milligrams transferred from pregnant mother and baby every day. Pregnant women’s daily calcium consumption has been reported to be low. WHO recommends 1.5 g to 2 g daily for pregnant women with low dietary calcium intake. Calcium supplementation during pregnancy for women who do not get enough calcium from their diet has a significant benefit in reducing preeclampsia and preterm births, as well as enhancing maternal and child bone health.
