Vitamin D - did anyone else stop taking it?

[Jane0506qz]

Hi everyone,

I was advised by my midwife to take folic acid and vitamin D up until my 12th week of pregnancy and beyond if I wanted to. I carried on taking it until I had run out (I think this was around 16 weeks) and then didn’t get any more after that.

I’ve recently moved area and now have a new midwife who said I should have been continuing to take my vitamin D. I had no idea as my first pregnancy and was told was fine to stop by other midwife I’m almost 28 weeks and all my scans have indicated that baby is healthy but now I’m panicking that me stopping taking vitamins will have put the babys health at risk

I’ve started taking pregnacare again and will continue to until I give birth but I’m worried that it may now be too late. Does anyone know what / if any implications this may have for my baby?

Thanks for any help!

You'll be fine and so will your baby. I was never told to take VitD whilst pregnant (I do take it now), these things come in and out of fashion. Anyway you were advised to take it up to 12 weeks and you took it until 16 weeks.

Carry on eating and being well and stop worrying please! Congratulations on your pregnancy.

I haven't taken my pregnacare vitamins everyday due to bad morning sickness and my twins are doing great so far ! I was only advised to start taking vitamin D at about 20 weeks so started then ! Now 31 weeks .Please don't worry they will take what they need from you :)

Congratulations on your pregnancy 🤰
I never took Vit D - it wasn’t recommended then.
My dd is perfect 👌🏻!!
Relax and look after yourself

I stopped all my prenatal vitamins at about 18ish weeks as they made me feel awful. DS is 4 months and perfect.
