Vitamin D is essential during pregnancy, especially in winter when levels can drop due to less sunlight.
Why Vitamin D Matters in Pregnancy
Supports your baby’s bones, teeth, heart, kidneys, and nervous system.
Reduces risks such as soft bones (rickets), low birth weight, and pregnancy complications like pre-eclampsia.
Helps boost immune health for both mother and baby.
Coping in Winter
Spend time outdoors on sunny days—your body makes vitamin D from sunlight, even in colder months.
Consider a daily vitamin D supplement, as recommended for all pregnant women in the UK.
Eat vitamin D–rich foods like oily fish, eggs, and fortified cereals.
Check in with your midwife or healthcare provider for personal guidance.
Protect yourself and your baby: small daily habits now can mean stronger bones and better health through the winter—and beyond❄️🦸♀️ #
