The Truth About Vitamin D in Pregnancy (Most Moms Don't Get Enough)
About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of vitamin D during pregnancy and addresses common deficiencies among pregnant women.
Vitamin D in pregnancy is one of those topics that sounds simple, but the details really matter. You use this essential vitamin in nearly every part of your body, and your baby depends entirely on you to supply it. The problem is that most pregnant moms do not get enough. Deficiency is incredibly common, and it is linked to a higher risk of complications like preeclampsia. To make things more confusing, most prenatal vitamins contain far less vitamin D than the evidence suggests you need during pregnancy. In this episode, we break down what vitamin D actually does, why deficiency is so widespread, how much you really need, and the simplest ways to make sure you and your baby are getting enough.
