You will need calcium tablet before your next baby and after menopause. No need to unnecessarily take such supplements unless recommended by a doctor.

For starting calcium tablets,we need to measure vit D3 levels first and serum calcium if any symptoms of calcium deficiency. Then we can start the calcium tablets.
