“Vitamin D is one of the most critical and under-addressed nutrients in pregnancy. A simple blood test called 25-hydroxyvitamin D can show whether your levels are optimal. While most labs consider 30 ng/mL to be “normal,” emerging research suggests that levels closer to 40–60 ng/mL are ideal for maternal and fetal health. Vitamin D is essential not only for bone development, but also for immune function, brain development, and the regulation of inflammation. Low prenatal vitamin D levels have been associated with higher risk of preterm labor, impaired language development, and even autism spectrum disorder. Vitamin D also influences fetal immune system programming, which can affect long-term risk of autoimmune conditions and allergies.

Supplementing to reach optimal levels—ideally before conception—can make a powerful difference.” — Brittany Blockman, MD
