Are you getting in your 3 dairy servings?
During my first pregnancy I pretty much ignored my dairy and barely even took my prenatal vitamin since it made me so sick.
I've been really good about trying to get in my 3 servings of dairy each day. I try to drink at least one glass of skim milk each day. Then I'll make up a 2nd serving with string cheese or cheese on my egg whites (so usually this is 1/2 a serving in the morning and another half as an afternoon snack). I TRY for that 3rd serving, but sometimes it doesn't happen.
A dairy serving is technically made up of:
8 ounces milk ( any type)
8 full ounces yogurt
2 cups cottage cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1.5-2 ounces hard cheese
1 cup of milk-based pudding
1 cup frozen yogurt
1 1/5 cups of ice cream
So...are you getting in your full 3 servings of dairy a day? And how are you getting them in?

Re: Are you getting in your 3 dairy servings?
Yes, but I basically LIVE on dairy! I love cheese and seriously need to buy a cow or a goat for the amount of milk I drink 
ETA: My problem is water. I never drink enough.

Yes! glass of milk, plenty of cheese, and yogurt each day. The dietitian made a point to get a serving in at each meal or snack.

Re: Are you getting in your 3 dairy servings?
wow...I didnt even think of this! I have been drinking a bottle of quick chocolate milk w/the bagel I have been getting but I stopped that a few days ago b/c I figured it was too many calories. I guess I will make sure I eat some yogurt everyday.
Thanks for the info!

this. I try to drink a glass of milk on most days but sometimes I don't.
However, on other days I will have three bowls of cereal throughout the day and yogurt.
I DO try to make an effort though

I forget sometimes but I get a not-so-gentle reminder from my teeth 
I try to have yogurt, cheese, or milk daily. Not to mention, my prenatals.

I wasn't in the beginning because dairy made me super nauseous and so I would take 2 calcium citrates/day. Now I'm able to eat cheese, milk and take 1 calcium citrate/day so I hope I'm doing better at making up the dairy!
