My vitamin D came out low in reports and doc has started me on D3. Just curious how much is generally needed during pregnancy. Not asking for medicine details, just wanna understand the requirement na. anyone with low D3 here?
I had thyroid and low D3 during my pregnancy, so my doctor monitored my levels very closely every trimester. Self-medicating with D3 can be risky as excess vitamin D isn't good either. Always get a prescription based on your latest blood reports.
I'm so tired in this 3rd trimester that even lifting a water bottle feels like a workout, and my doc said my low D3 was partly to blame! She gave me a specific dose to fix it. Just call your doctor and get the exact number, don't guess.
Look, don't go by what others are taking. The standard dose is usually 600 IU, but if your blood test shows you are deficient, your doctor will give you a higher weekly dose. Just get a simple blood test done and let your gynac decide.
I was told to eat more fortified dairy and eggs, but food alone doesn't cover D3 during pregnancy. My doc gave me a specific supplement to take after my heavy breakfast. Definitely ask your gynac what dose fits your daily diet.
My pregnancy tracker app mentioned that D3 is crucial for baby's bone development, but warns against taking random dosages. Most prenatal vitamins already have a basic amount. Best to ask your doctor if you need an additional supplement.
My doctor put me on a weekly D3 sachet because my levels were super low, and it really helped with my joint pain post-C-section. Please don't take random doses on your own. Let your doctor check your reports and prescribe the exact amount.
