Low vitamin d

hi,

Does anyone have low vitamin d level? Mine is only 21. I am going to complete 5 weeks tomorrow. Does anyone know what point of pregnancy is vitamin d crucial ? Is it possible I can bump up vitamin d before that? I am going to be meeting my gynaec for first prenatal visit yet. Any info would be helpful.

    Mine was 20 (units?) and my midwife told me to take a 5000 IU vit D supplement daily. I didn't do any research to see how easy it would be to get that much vit D from food or exposure to sunlight since I've been so nauseous, but I'm sure it's easy to Google if you want to tide yourself over until your first prenatal appointment.

    @ceeesprof - thanks! I think my gynaec will also put me on some dose similar to yours. Do you think we can bump up our vitamin d level before it's really required by our growing baby? I am just concerned that my baby do not have any weak bones/teeth because of my low level. I guess you are due in may 2016 as well, correct?
