My report showed low vitamin d and doc mentioned a supplement. Im not sure if i should start it right away ya wait. Anyone else was advised this, when did u begin?
My pregnancy tracker app showed that baby's bone development picks up in the second trimester, so I brought it up with my doctor around week 14. She checked my blood reports and started me on a suitable daily dose.
Because of my thyroid issues, my doctor was very particular about regular blood checks. She prescribed Vitamin D along with calcium from the second trimester, so let your gynac check your blood levels and decide the exact timing.
I was prescribed Vitamin D drops right from my 12th-week checkup. It really helped reduce my leg cramps and backache in the later months, so please discuss it with your doctor soon.
I panicked when my first blood report showed very low Vitamin D, but my doctor told me it is extremely common. She started me on weekly supplements right in the first trimester, so just ask your gynac in your next visit.
Unless you plan on sitting under the hot Indian sun for hours like a plant, you will probably need to start them soon! Most doctors prescribe them after the first trimester blood reports come in, so don't worry.
