Unknown.: It is unclear scientifically what the normal level of vitamin d is for pregnant women (>95% deficient by current standards!) and what consequences if any vitamin d deficiency could have on the fetal brain. Stay tuned for more scientific data on this interesting topic.

NoEvidence OfThat: During Pregnancy severe VitD deficiency has been associated with congenital Rickets and fractures in the new born.Prenatal vitamins contain 400 units of Vitamin D.Vit D levels are only recommended in high risk women based on their medical history of malabsorption or documented VitD levels.Routine testing is not recommended.And there is no evidence that VitD deficiency will affect BrainDev in Baby
