Prenatals and still deficient?

Question

I've been vitamin D deficient most my life until the last few years and I can tell I'm deficient again. As well as iron and zinc. I know baby will be ok, but should I be taking an adult vitamin on top of my prenatals? Haven't gotten back to the doctor yet....

Answer

My doctor told me to take a vitamin D supplement and a iron supplement!

I wouldn't change anything until the doctor says so

Answer

I'm low on d too. My doc told me to just take supplements but I've already been taking them :(.

Answer

I would have some blood work done. Some people have deficiency. Some have insufficiency. The amount of vitamin d you'll need is dependant on how low your levels are. My dad was put on 600iu of vitamin d but I was put on 3000iu. There's a huge range.
