Effect of treatment of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency during pregnancy on fetal growth indices and maternal weight gain: a randomized clinical trial

TLDR
Multivariate regression analysis for maternal weight gain, neonatal length, Neonatal weight and neonatal head circumference showed an independent correlation with maternal vitamin D level, and treatment of low serum vitamin D during pregnancy improves fetal growth indices and maternal weightgain.

Evaluation, Treatment, and Prevention of Vitamin D Deficiency: an Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline

TL;DR: Considering that vitamin D deficiency is very common in all age groups and that few foods contain vitamin D, the Task Force recommended supplementation at suggested daily intake and tolerable upper limit levels, depending on age and clinical circumstances.

Maternal Vitamin D Deficiency Increases the Risk of Preeclampsia

TL;DR: A nested case-control study of pregnant women followed from less than 16 wk gestation to delivery to assess the effect of maternal 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration on the risk of preeclampsia and the vitamin D status of newborns of preeClamptic mothers.

Vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy: Double‐blind, randomized clinical trial of safety and effectiveness

TL;DR: It is concluded that vitamin D supplementation of 4000 IU/d for pregnant women is safe and most effective in achieving sufficiency in all women and their neonates regardless of race, whereas the current estimated average requirement is comparatively ineffective at achieving adequate circulating 25(OH)D concentrations, especially in African Americans.
