Calcium tablets
I'm 19 weeks 3 days pregnant.. I got fever, throat pain , cold and cough..

I'm so confused and worried now !! Please answer ! In 3 days I'm going for my anamoly scan..

No. Skipping calcium tablets while you are sick doesn’t affect your baby’s health. Don’t worry. Once you are better from fever and cough you can start continuing your calcium supplements. Wishing you a speedy recovery
