Dr. Seth Derman answered

Specializes in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

No: I presume you are on a calcium channel blocker. These work by blocking calcium channels that control the flow of calcium across cell membranes which are responsible for certain muscle contractions. They do not block calcium to the baby or to your bones.
