Hi all,

I got a note from my OB letting me know that a result of my blood test was a vitamin D deficiency.

The result was fairly low at 28, when the desired range in the pregnancy is 50 to 160. She has recommended that I take Ostelin. She also recommends that the baby should take Pentavite once a day until 12 months.

I have no idea why I am low in Vitamin D... My appetite has been non-existant since the start of the pregnancy so I'm not sure if it's a food thing. I know that a main source of Vitamin D is the sun, but in Melbourne in winter it's a bit hard!

Is this something that has just started, or could I have had it for a while and not been aware?

Has anyone else had this and how did you deal with it?

Cheers,
Fiona
