While you’re pregnant, it’s vital you include enough calcium in your diet as calcium is needed for strong healthy bones.

In order to ensure you're getting enough calcium for both you and your baby, its recommended you consume at least 1000mg calcium per day.

Dairy foods are the best single source of calcium, although while pregnant you should avoid soft cheeses that could contain harmful bacteria.

The good news is there are plenty of other foods, such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans and fish with small bones (like canned sardines) that can contribute to your calcium intake as well. Other sources include calcium-fortified soya products, breakfast cereals and breads.
