thanks melinda..i was worried as it was detected quite late in pregnancy and lower vit d levels effects brain and immune system development of baby. had a detailed talk with my gynae and hope that all is well! also i am much more at risk as the levels are too low to be compensated by supplements. so i have been given high dose of injection and another after 6 weeks.

Hi Manubhadauria - what are you worried about exactly? having low vit D or taking supplements? the majority of people living in dubai are vit d deficient - because we wear sunscreen which blocks us aborbing vit d from the sun. Also - mideast/indian skin absorbs it less efficiently than white skin ... Im also pregnant and taking vit D supplements...

since 2 month i have pain in legs and feet and now in 6 month it has been detected that it is due to lower vit D levels. got my test results yesterday and they are very very low :( doc has given me injection today but after researching on internet i am scared. internet can be a nuisance too! does any of you have lower vit D levels and what effect it has on baby ?
