Vitamin D
Vitamin D is important for pregnant women. It helps the body absorb calcium, which is essential for the development of the baby’s bones and teeth. It also helps to prevent preeclampsia, a condition that can lead to high blood pressure and other serious complications during pregnancy. (4)
Pregnant women should take a daily supplement of vitamin D, and should also make sure to get plenty of exposure to sunlight. Sunlight is the best source of vitamin D, but pregnant women should be careful not to overdo it, as too much sun exposure can lead to skin damage.
Vitamin D deficiency is common during pregnancy, so it’s important to make sure you’re getting enough of this important nutrient. Talk to your doctor about the best way to ensure you’re getting enough vitamin D during pregnancy.
