Abstract
This study investigates vitamin D deficiency among pregnant women, despite prenatal vitamin usage. While current recommendations suggest 200 to 400 IU of vitamin D daily, scientific evidence supporting these guidelines is limited. The study involved 49 pregnant women across trimesters, supplementing with 50,000 IU of vitamin D weekly. Initial and trimester-specific tests assessed calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, 25- hydroxyvitamin D, total protein, and albumin levels. Umbilical cord blood tests were conducted at birth. Results showed vitamin D levels of 19.17, 31.10, and 29.3 nanograms per milliliter during the first, second, and third trimesters, respectively, and 24.38 nanograms in newborns. Toxic vitamin D levels were not observed. Multivitamin supplement usage did not significantly impact vitamin D levels between trimesters. These findings contribute valuable insights into addressing vitamin D deficiencies in pregnant women
