Vitamin D Deficiency

I had my 12-wk appt last night and they reviewed my test results and informed me that I have a Vitamin D Deficiency.

I was informed I have to buy the Over-the-Counter Vit D supplement (CALTRATE) to take with my prenatal. They said this was common in pregnant women.

I'm curious - what foods have Vit. D in them? My hope is to increase my levels naturally with food rather than a supplement if I can.

ETA: Name of supplement

I had the same problem and my OB said food wouldn't be enough.

So I bought Vitamin D with Calcium.


I thought the sun played a roll in it too.

Re: Vitamin D Deficiency

I am also Vit. D deficient, i take over the counter chewables, they are very yummy-Nature Made brand. Not sure about what foods to boost it up though.

Re: Vitamin D Deficiency

I am too. I was told that most of us are Vitamin D deficient. I just take a supplement.

Re: Vitamin D Deficiency

Are you all taking CALTRATE?

Re: Vitamin D Deficiency

Yes most women are vitamin D deficient and especially in the winter months. I take one that is a liquid. . does not taste good but is super concentrated
