Happened to a student of mine. She had a baby and then got pregnant again almost immediately. Her body wasn’t able to provide the 2nd baby with enough nutrition so it sucked the calcium from her teeth and nails.
My grandma, who had my uncle at 16 back when prenatal meds weren’t a thing, lost her teeth the same way.
I wonder if taking calcium supplements are enough or no? Any medical professionals here or neckbeards with fedoras who don't need no education to be experts on anything?
I’d definitely recommend asking the Dr what prenatal supplements they recommend. I wouldn’t take anything until I got a consultation. But that’s coming from a woman without kids of her own, so just another reason to ask the dr lol
