Can pregnancy cause vit d deficiency?

Question

My latest reports came and vit d is quite low, doctor mentioned it casually. I never had this issue before pregnancy. Is it the baby taking it all from me or normal during these months?

Many of us are vit D deficient even otherwise, pregnancy just makes them check it more. I was low both times and took supplements as prescribed. Just get the blood test and follow your doctors dose.

Yes its quite common, my doctor told me a lot of pregnant women here are low in vitamin D. She tested mine and gave a supplement to correct it. Get your levels checked so your gynac can prescribe the right dose.

Very common, get tested and your doctor will give the right supplement.

I barely got sun being indoors all day, so my vit D was low. My gynac added a weekly supplement to my routine. Easy to fix, just dont skip the test.
