Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Over 16 years of age
  • 2\. Able to provide informed consent to participate
  • 3\. After a dating scan has confirmed viability (usually between 10 and 14 weeks gestation)
  • 4\. 22 weeks’ 0 days gestation or less
  • 5\. Women deemed eligible for aspirin therapy based on NICE guideline criteria below where a woman has either:
  • 5\.1\. One high\-risk factor:
  • 5\.1\.1\. Hypertensive disease during a previous pregnancy
  • 5\.1\.2\. Chronic renal disease
  • 5\.1\.3\. Autoimmune disease such as SLE or antiphospholipid syndrome
  • 5\.1\.4\. Type 1 or 2 diabetes

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Any known contraindications to regular calcium intake (history of renal stones, known renal impairment with pre\-pregnancy eGFR \<30 ml/min/1\.73m² or serum creatinine \>150 (µmol/l), known history of hypercalcaemia or hypercalcaemia\-causing diseases (e.g. parathyroid disease, sarcoidosis, malignancy), current severe persistent vomiting leading to dehydration or requiring hospitalisation (if persisting vomiting resolves, the patient may be re\-assessed for inclusion in the trial, providing all other inclusion and exclusion criteria are met)
  • 2\. Use of drugs with potential for severe interactions with calcium: digoxin or other cardiac glycosides; antiretroviral drugs for HIV treatment, anti\-neoplastic drugs, and diuretics (thiazide, thiazide\-like or xipamide).
  • 3\. Use of any additional calcium supplement either on its own or as part of other multivitamin or Vitamin D preparations, and unwilling to stop them or change to other multivitamins, as this could lead to higher doses of calcium supplementation in the calcium group and contamination in the placebo group
  • 4\. Women who are taking vitamin D regularly in high doses \>1000 IU/day, as supplements or for conditions such as malabsorption syndromes. Note: a short course of high dose Vitamin D (e.g., 20,000 IU weekly for 6 weeks) to treat Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy is NOT an exclusion criteria
  • 5\. Known contraindications to excipient Isomalt (e.g. hereditary fructose intolerance)
