27 weeks pregnant.i drink 2 cups of milk everyday, is it enough calcium?should i take calcium supplements? how to make sure i'm getting enough calcium

27 weeks: Surely you are seeing your Obstetrician? If so you must ask her/him what calcium you need. Keep up with your milk. Won't be long before baby is born - enjoy!

Calcium: Are you taking prenatal vitamins? The baby will take from you the calcium it needs to build its bones. The question is how much of a store do you have? The baby will break down your bones, if it needs to, to get enough calcium for its own bones. There are other foods that contain large amounts of calcium; broccoli, almonds, apricots, to name a few. Try incorporating some of these foods.
