Healthy Pregnancy

Calcium and Vitamin D

You need calcium throughout your pregnancy to build strong bones and teeth for your baby. Vitamin D is also needed to absorb and use calcium. Getting enough calcium will help your teeth and bones stay healthy too!

Eat foods rich in calcium, such as:

• milk (all types)
• cheese
• yogurt
• and fortified soy beverages

Also eat foods that provide vitamin D such as milk, fortified soy beverages, fish and margarine.
