As you ladies know, I worked pretty hard to get this little babe inside of me! After five months of InVitro tests, procedures and shots – I was FINALLY blessed with a perfect little BOY inside of me and our little family could NOT be more excited!
Pregnancy is an incredible time for us mamas! How lucky are we that we get to CARRY and GROW the precious miracles INSIDE of us for nearly 10 months. Although often times pregnancy comes with the oh so dreaded morning sickness, fatigue, headaches, heartburn, back aches and body aches, as women we are willing to do it over and over and over again, because we know how special the end result is… holding that miracle in our arms knowing that they are OURS forever.
Growing a little human isn’t easy…am I right?! Trying to balance our daily life with eating right, exercise and sleep, it can get a little tricky! As we care for and love these little people that we haven’t even met yet, it is SUPER important to get all of the necessary nutrients for not only our babies health, but for our own!
Some of the most important nutrients while pregnant include calcium, iron, vitamin D, folic acid and iodine. AS WELL as increasing other important things like sleep and calories. {Annnd can we say sleep AGAIN, because oh heavens this mama is EXHAUSTED every night by 6pm these days! 😉 }
Did you know that 68% of women are actually calcium deficient?! Getting the 1000 mg of calcium recommended during pregnancy is SO important! A growing baby needs the calcium to build a healthy heart, as well as teeth, bones, muscles and nerves.
If a pregnant woman doesn’t produce enough calcium from her own diet, the calcium needed by the baby is pulled from her own bones, which puts her own bone health at risk for later in life.
And THAT my besties, is why I am SO excited to share with you a product that I have fallen in love with this pregnancy… Viactiv. Have you heard of it?! I am sure since we all live at Target, you have seen it there before. 🙂
Viactiv Calcium Soft Chews is the PERFECT soft chew for ALL of us soon-to-be mamas! It is an easy and delicious way to supplement your daily calcium, rather than swallowing pills. AND they come in milk chocolate and caramel flavors so that is a TOTAL bonus! {YUM!}
Prenatal vitamins only provide 20-30% of the calcium needed daily, so it is important to add more calcium. Each chew of Viactiv is 500mg of calcium, so you can take one or two daily, as needed.
In a survey of 1,000 OBGYN’s*, 7 out of 10 recommend calcium supplements and of those who do, 9 out of 10 recommend Viactiv.
I have been taking these supplements for a few weeks now and have LOVED knowing that my baby and I are getting the nutrients that we BOTH need, to be as healthy as possible. AND because all of you cute soon-to-be moms need to try these, you can CLICK HERE for a $2 coupon!
Viactiv is available at major retailers including CVS, Rite Aid, and BJ’s Wholesale Club. They are also at our favorite stores Target & Walmart! You can check out all of their stores here!
I am SO excited for YOU to be pregnant!! What an exciting time in life. I hope you print off the coupon and head to your nearest store ASAP so you can try these yummy calcium vitamins that will benefit you and your precious miracle inside of you! And TOGETHER we can all #BumpUpYourCalcium one day at a time!
