Terrible Tums

Hi bumpies,

I've been really good about taking my prenatal vitamin, that's not a problem.  I also take a DHA supplement. My doctor suggested I take Tums for calcium (as my prenatal only has some 125 mg of calcium).  Here's the thing, I HATE the chalky texture and taste of them!! So I only chew them a couple of times a week.  Ugh!

Anyone else hate Tums too?  Are there any alternatives?  I even asked my pharmacist and he said that Tums are the most recommended over actual calcium supplements.    

I worry about getting the right nutrition for my baby because my diet right now isn't laced with fruits and vegetables (they just don't sound good at all! Plus, I was never a big fruit/vegetable person pre-preggo) and I don't like milk all that much.  I don't want to live with the guilt of my child not having a healthy body because of what I ate during pregnancy.     But I do take my prenatal vitamin without fail!  

Anyone live off a very select group of foods and still have a healthy baby?
