Suggest Remedies For Vitamin D Deficiency During Pregnancy
I m 7 weeks pregnant. My blood results show the following concerns: pH is 8.0H, Vitamin D is 26.5L (deficient), and B12 is 1040H (high). At first the lab tec said I should take 5000 of IU/day to help with my Vitamin D deficiency. When I told her the bottle of Vitamin D said Do not take if you re pregnant, she said don t take the 5000 IU, just drink more milk, cheese, etc. I ve researched online regarding problems with Vitamin D and high B12 and I m very worried. Please advise.

Hello, vitamin D is safe in pregnancy and can be taken as advised.
Vitamin B12 is always low in pregnancy bit if on higher side it is good only.
