Hi. So pleased to have been referred to this site.
I've just begun the second trimester and my Vit D3 levels are at 17 ng/ml. The normal range is stated to be 30-100 ng/ml.
My obstetrician has advised Calcirol (Cholecalciferol) sachets twice a week for a month. Each sachet contains Cholecalciferol 60000 IU.
I'm trying to increase my sunlight exposure, but I'm concerned about the safety of this high dose of Vit D3. Is it safe to take during pregnancy or should I be taking smaller doses more frequently?
Don't want to start it until I'm sure it will be safe for the baby.
Your ideas, suggestions, experiences are welcome! Looking forward to getting some info, thanks a lot!
