Not sure.: Would need to know more about her pain in order to answer, but generally deficiency of calcium or any electrolyte for that matter would be very low on the list of concerns. This is likely musculoskeletal and related to the pregnancy ( abnormal posture and arm carry and potential effects of Progesterone on ligaments).
