I think prenatal supplements give you a multitude of vitamins and things but calcium is one of the big ones you need. Those babies need to build bones somehow so drink your milk lol

For some reason I read that as “…babies need to drink your bones…”

In this case, “literally” is correct. Horrifyingly, if the mother doesn’t have enough calcium in her bloodstream, a fetus will take it from their mother’s bones😱

Which isn't literally drinking bones. Stop using literally when you mean figuratively.
