Calcium metabolism in pregnancy and lactation

Calcium and bone metabolism are in a constantly dynamic situation in human body. Particularly, in pregnancy and lactation, calcium metabolism is more complicated as new adaptive mechanisms are developed to front the increased fetal and newborn needs. The adaptive mechanisms are different in these two situations. In pregnancy the dominant adaptive mechanism is the increased intestinal calcium absorption while in lactation the main mechanism for calcium saving is the increased bone resorption and mobilization of calcium from the skeleton. This review focuses on calcium metabolism in normal pregnancy and lactation and on the disorders associated with this metabolism in these two conditions. Pregnancy associated osteoporosis is the most common disorder of calcium metabolism during pregnancy and occurs mainly in the last trimester. During lactation, bone density normally decreases by 2-3% per month but gradually the rate falls. During weaning, normally, bone loss is completely reversed and skeletal lesions are gradually restored. Particular attention should be given to the treatment of women with vitamin D deficiency and parathyroid gland disorders, conditions that may be firstly diagnosed in pregnancy and may be associated with adverse effects on the woman and the fetus.
