Which prenatals do you take? I was extremely vitamin D defficient before my pregnancy but my most recent prenatal bw indicated my levels are now normal. I atttributed to the prenatals
I doubt you would take too much. Vitamin D levels are really hard to bring up and I bet what’s in the prenatal isn’t nearly enough. If they didn’t prescribe you a second one and you can afford I’d get one otc. Otherwise call and have them prescribe you one asap.
@Joselyn I didn't want to take too much if my levels were regulated already, which is why I asked them to check.. but I do have Vitamin D in my prenatal, so I've been taking that every day. I think it's D3, though, not D2. I have my intake appointment with a new OB on June 14th, so fingers crossed they actually care about me and my unborn son.
I was also told I had low vitamin D but never got rechecked but have been meaning to ask. Have you been taking a supplement? Im sorry It’s terrible to feel like you’re the only one taking your babies health seriously. Hope you find a better OB!
@Shannon I ordered liquid D2, so it'll be here soon! The problem was I was told my Vitamin D levels a year before I got pregnant, and they never checked them again once I started treatment.. and I was taking D.velop, which is a Vitamin D supplement that works incredibly fast at raising your levels (and then I was taking Weekly-D, which is a 50,000iu supplement that you take every week), so within a year, my levels could definitely have been normal.. problem is, neither of those supplements have Vitamin D2, and that is now my problem area.
