Vitamin D testing

in Pregnant after 35

At my 16 week appt my OB suggested I get bloodwork for vitamin D since there is some "soft data" that a deficiency in vitamin D is linked to autism.

I haven't had the test done yet...has anyone else heard this, had the testing done?

    That's interesting. I get my vitamin D levels tested b/c I have Crohn's disease and know they are low...didn't know it was linked to autism. It's just a blood test and then they will tell you to take Vitamin D supplements if it is low.  It would make more sense to me if your dr would just recommend how much Vit D you should be taking.  It's in most prenatal vitamins.
