Adolescent pregnancy

Adolescent Pregnancy is pregnancy at the age of 19 years or younger.(15-19 years).
Pregnancy of a still growing girl means an increase in nutritional requirement, not only for the growth of fetus but also for the mother herself, which leads to malnutrition leading to various pregnancy complications.
In India, the adolescent population constitutes more than one fifth (23%) of the total population
Calcium inadequacy is increased in adolescent mothers because their own Calcium requirements are high as they have not yet achieved peak bone mass.

Hence, Every Adolescent Pregnant woman needs Xtraa Calcium

Pregnancy after 35

• After the age of 35, bone loss begins as part of the normal aging process.
• Women over 35 are at high risk of developing high blood pressure and diabetes during pregnancy.
Calcium helps to prevent bone loss during pregnancy after 35 yrs of age , when bones naturally begin to thin.
Hence,Every Pregnant woman above 35 years needs Xtraa Calcium
It is estimated that 52.1% of pregnant women are below 19 years and above 35 years, Needs Xtraa Calcium than normal (National Family Health Survey India)
