Vitamin D deficiency

[LionsandBears]

That's very low. Get some Ostelin Vit D and take the maximum dose allowed.

Ironically, low vit d increases the risk of skin cancer. It also reduces calcium absorption.

If the vitamin d supplement doesn't have calcium with it, get a calcium supplement as well.

I have vitamin d deficiency. My level is about the same as yours (except I am not pg!) I was taking 2000mg of ostelin a day thinking that be enough but I went to the naturopath last week (she specializes in Women's health) and she said you need to take 1000mg for each 10 kilos of bodyweight in order for levels to rise. I have upped my daily dosage considerably!!!

Heya LL

I was told the same thing and went out and bought some Ostelin Vit D , as Lions just said

Was freaked out when they told me! After living in Perth for so long and actually HAVING sun shine! we didn't even know about Vit D deficiencies! Bl00dy Melbourne and its total lack of sunshine!

Have to give bubba Z a dose of the stuff every day for her first year as well!

Hope all is going well with you and yr bump! xx
