My doctor told me to take Vitamin D supplements, but sometimes I feel like I'm getting enough sun too. I'm just a little worried if having too much vitamin D can be harmful for my baby or for me during pregnancy. Please share your experiences if you know.
Yes, excessive vitamin D can be unsafe for the baby. After my past miscarriage, I became very careful and always asked my doctor before taking even a single extra vitamin.
Excess is bad, so just take whatever your doctor has prescribed after your blood test. For a natural way, sitting in the morning sunlight for 10 minutes is free and safe!
I had low vitamin D during my pregnancy and my doctor prescribed a specific dose, now my toddler is perfectly fine. Don't take extra doses thinking it's harmless, stick to what the doctor gave.
Yes, high doses can cause toxicity. Better to stick to the exact dose written on your prescription to save time and avoid complications, don't self-medicate.
