Vitamin D in first trimester?

Amethyst167 · October 2015

Hello all!!
I have a question regarding supplements in the first trimester. Folic acid is a must. But what about Vitamin D? Does anyone have any idea? I know it is okay in 2nd and 3rd trimesters. I am curious specifically about first trimester. My appointment is 3 weeks away so that is why asking moms-to-be here! Thanks in advance!!

I would think its ok since my doctor just prescribed me 50,000 mg / week of Vitamin D. Call your doctor to check. It'll put your mind at ease

Many prenatal vitamins have vitamin D. I think it's better to take PNV rather than guess about dosages.

Thanks ladies
I like the PNV idea!

We're big vitamin D people, so we take 5,000 iu a day. So I'll take that on top of the PNV (which only has like 400iu in it) I did this all last pregnancy too and not pregnant with my multi. I would talk to your doctor though obviously and find out what is best for you. You can have your blood taken and ask them to run a 25 hydroxy (vitamin d test) and figure out where your levels are. Good luck!
