Silly question.... but how are you getting your calcium?

I despise milk and even when I have it in my cereal, it's the teeniest amount. I won't even take it my tea... yuck!

I'm not a yougurt eater, so that's out (although I want to like it, I just don't).

One can only eat so much ice cream, right?

So where else can I get some calcium into my system??

My biggest craving this pregnancy has been milk so I havent had that problem. I think you can take calcium supplements though. Ask your dr!

Re: Silly question.... but how are you getting your calcium?

sorry I can't get enough chocolate milk (with only a little but of chocolate).. there are so many items now though that are calcium enriched... like OJ with calcium or even some vegetables.. google calcium and you'll be surprised..

Re: Silly question.... but how are you getting your calcium?

I ate smoothie flavored Tums the whole time I was pregnant for heartburn but they are chock full of calcium too. And they're DELISH!!! Also a lot of juices have calcium fortified versions, like OJ.

LOVE this idea! Dual use!

And I love the cheese idea too. I can totally get into that!

Thanks everyone.

Re: Silly question.... but how are you getting your calcium?

same here with the tums! My heartburn has been pretty bad so far this pregnancy so I have been getting my fair share of calcium from that.

I will only occasionally drink a glass of milk

I eat greek yogurt just about every weekday, it's also loaded with protein

Hot chocolate surprisingly has about 30% of your daily intake of calcium

string cheese

Wow me too! my family teases me cause I can go through 1/2 gallon to a gallon a day almost. They have been good about it though, and know when to buy more so I dont freak out.Ive never drank this much milk in my life. I drink it with everything and DH gets grossed out when I have it with dinner, like pizza, or pasta. I love my milk though.

Re: Silly question.... but how are you getting your calcium?

I buy the OJ that has Calcium in it.
All the brands make one.

Cheese, ice cream, even a supplment should be ok.
Tums has lots of calcium too.

i also eat a lot of cheese and drink OJ with calcium. to get milk, i make a smoothie every morning with frozen fruit and milk. totally hides that awful milk taste. i hate milk too and gag when i drink it from the container.

Cheese-I love cheese, eat it various times a day-way more than ice cream!

I would say I put milk in my coffee, but I don't think that counts!

If you are concerned, call the OB-you can take an OTC calcium supplement.

I've been drinking 1% chocolate milk with DHA/Omega 3 and I take a calcium supplement, which my doctor OK'd. There's OJ and cranberry juice available with added calcium as well.

I hate milk, and even with my 1st pregnancy with my DD I didn't get alot, other than cheese.
