A member asked:
If i only drink coconut milk during my pregnancy will i need to take additional vitamin d and calcium besides what is provided in prenatal vitamins?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coconut milk has: sugars in it, and is not a high source for Vitamin D3 and calcium. What is most important is taking your prenatal vitamins, and having a diet rich in vegetables that are high in trace minerals including calcium. Organic preferred, and green leafy or cooked veges. Use the milk sparingly as it is carbohydrate rich, and can increase sugar levels. Work with your doctor on this, and your nutritionist.
