Vitamin D crucial in pregnancy

A new study suggests Vitamin D is crucial to a healthy pregnancy and it appears that many expecting women may not be getting enough of it. Typical supplements contain about 200 international units, but according to new research from the Medical University of South Carolina, pregnant women may need as much as 4,000 international units. That is 20 times the usual dosage. Researchers said their study of pregnant women found those on the highest doses had lower rates of preterm birth and infection. Experts advise women against increasing their supplement doses before more research is done or talking to their doctor.
