Vitamin D is very important for pregnant women: its action is aimed at improving the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, as well as bone mineralization. About it on his page in the social network TikTok told obstetrician-gynecologist Diana Mardas.
The doctor warned that vitamin D deficiency in the body of a pregnant woman is associated with several risks at once.
Vitamin D is essential for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Calcium-phosphorus metabolism in the presence of vitamin D is just great. Calcium is the basis of the baby’s skeleton. Without it, a good skeleton will not work, and without vitamin D, this trace element will not be well absorbed. In addition to being bone mineralization, vitamin D deficiency has been proven to increase the risk of developing fetal retention syndrome, preterm birth, preeclampsia and other conditions that occur during pregnancy, said Diana Mardas.
According to the gynecologist, it is necessary to monitor the level of vitamin D in the body not only during gestation, but also during pregnancy planning.
– This is indeed a very important vitamin, the deficiency of which disrupts the balance of vitamins and microelements. Therefore, I advise all expectant mothers to check how much vitamin D you have. By the way, this useful substance is found in butter, liver and chicken yolks. Vitamin D can be obtained from vitamin-mineral complexes. Remember also that vitamin D is produced when we walk in the sun, said Diana Mardas.
