My doctor put me on a vitamin d supplement after my report and i just followed without asking much. Now im curious why exactly its needed during these months. someone explain pls?
My doctor said vitamin D helps with calcium absorption so its important for baby's bones and teeth, and for the mom's bones too. A lot of us are deficient without realising it. She tested my levels and put me on a supplement based on that.
Mine was low along with my thyroid issue and my doctor kept monitoring both. They go for bone health and overall wellbeing. Get the blood test done and keep up the regular follow ups, supplements work best when tracked.
It basically helps your body use calcium properly, which baby needs for bone development. Most Indian women run low on it surprisingly. Get your level checked and take whatever dose your gynac prescribes, dont self dose.
A bit of morning sunlight helped me naturally, my nani always said sit in the early sun. But i still took the supplement my doctor gave because sun alone wasnt enough for me. For dosage definitely follow the doctor.
