| Description | The birth of a child constitutes a loss of some 25 g Ca by the mother ( 6 , 9 ), approximately 2 to 3 percent of the total maternal body calcium. In order to minimize loss to the maternal skeleton, where virtually all of the calcium resides, the mother must increase retention of food calcium. She can do so by increasing calcium absorption and/or calcium intake. Increased calcium absorption in pregnancy has been described ( 9 ), but the mechanism by which the maternal skeleton responds is less well known. Heaney and Skillman ( 8 ) have reported that in their cross-sectional study bone turnover increased significantly in pregnancy. Adaptive responses can however be studied more readily vertically than cross-sectionally. We therefore took advantage of the possibility of doing a detailed calcium kinetic study with and in a medical colleague late in the third trimester of her pregnancy, during lactation and about six months after the infant was weaned.
