Vitamin D supplementation for women during pregnancy

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of supplementing with vitamin D alone or in combination with calcium or other vitamins and minerals given to women during pregnancy can safely improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Maternal Mineral and Bone Metabolism During Pregnancy, Lactation, and Post-Weaning Recovery

TL;DR: This review addresses the current knowledge regarding maternal adaptations in mineral and skeletal homeostasis that occur during pregnancy, lactation, and post-weaning recovery and the impacts that these adaptations have on biochemical and hormonal parameters of mineralHomeostasis.

Effect of vitamin D supplementation on non-skeletal disorders: a systematic review of meta-analyses and randomised trials

TL;DR: There remains little evidence to suggest that vitamin D supplementation has an effect on most conditions, including chronic inflammation, despite use of increased doses of vitamin D, strengthening the hypothesis that low vitamin D status is a consequence of ill health, rather than its cause.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D and cardiovascular disease prevention

TL;DR: Current available evidence does not support cardiovascular benefits or harms of vitamin D supplementation with the commonly used doses, and whether vitamin D has cardiovascular effects in individuals with overt vitamin D deficiency remains to be evaluated.

Low-dose calcium supplementation for preventing pre-eclampsia: a systematic review and commentary

TL;DR: Recommendations for calcium supplementation for low‐intake pregnant women based on randomised controlled trials of ≥1 g/day calcium supplementation from 20 weeks of gestation are problematic logistically in low‐resource settings; excessive calcium may be harmful; and 20 weeks may be too late to alter outcomes.

Vitamin D status during pregnancy and aspects of offspring health.

TL;DR: The evidence to date supports that women should be monitored and treated for vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy but optimal and upper limit serum 25(OH)D levels during pregnancy are not known.

Maternal Vitamin D Status and Delivery by Cesarean

TL;DR: Maternal 25-hydroxyvitamin D was related positively to vitamin D and calcium intakes and negatively to circulating concentrations of parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D deficiency was linked to a 2-fold increased risk of cesarean for prolonged labor.

Placental Hormones and the Control of Fetal Growth

TL;DR: It is argued that hormones produced by the placenta, including placental lactogen, placental growth hormone, and sex steroids regulate the intake, absorption, utilization and transfer of maternal nutrients to the fetus and modulate fetal and neonatal insulin production.
