3..  How much vitamin D do I need during pregnancy?
Many women in the United States don’t get enough vitamin D when they are pregnant. You may be more likely to be deficient in vitamin D if you:
  • Are obese (overweight)
  • Spend a lot of time indoors, or are covered up when you’re in the sun
  • Have dark skin
How much vitamin D you need when you’re pregnant is a complicated subject and one which doctors and scientists have yet to agree on. Not all organizations recommend the same amount of supplement each day.
Here is a list of the current recommendations for pregnant women from organizations in the United States:
Recommended daily intakes for pregnant women
Vitamin D Council4,000-6,000 IU/day
Endocrine Society1,500-2,000 IU/day
Food and Nutrition Board600 IU/day
In two recent studies from the University of South Carolina, a group of researchers found that pregnant women need to take 4,000 IU of vitamin D everyday to make sure that their newborn child has enough when he or she is born.
The researchers also found that women who took 4,000 IU everyday during pregnancy were more likely to have an uncomplicated birth. Whereas women taking less vitamin D than this were more likely to have a baby born early (before the due date) or to develop gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or infections. Women taking less vitamin D were also more likely to have a c-section.
This research is the reason why the Vitamin D Council recommends taking 4,000 IU to 6,000 IU of vitamin D every day if you’re pregnant. This will ensure that you’re getting enough vitamin D as a pregnant mother, and getting enough vitamin D to your unborn child.
