Lack of vitamin D lessens chances of conceiving after pregnancy loss
Hindustan TimesTurns out, insufficient vitamin D is not only detrimental to bone health, but also important for a healthy pregnancy. According to a study conducted by NIH, among women planning to conceive after a pregnancy loss, those who had sufficient levels of vitamin D were more likely to become pregnant and have a live birth, compared to women with insufficient levels of the vitamin. Women who had sufficient preconception vitamin D concentrations were 10% more likely to become pregnant and 15% more likely to have a live birth, compared to those with insufficient concentrations of the vitamin. Among women who became pregnant, every 10 nanograms per milliliter increase in preconception vitamin D was associated with a 12% lower risk of pregnancy loss. Additional studies are needed to determine whether providing vitamin D to women at risk for pregnancy loss could increase their chances of pregnancy and live birth.
