A rush of emotions. A small stick. Will it be pink! Or blue? Who should you tell first? What do you do now?

Pregnancy can be a wonderful experience that is full of excitement and like and anxiety and tension. There are a lot of decisions to be made and you must face the realization (whether it’s your first or your 12th) that life will never be the same.

First of all, what is Vitamin D?

Vitamin D is a stout-soluble vitamin, and the only vitamin that can be produced by the body.

Vitamin D helps your body absorb and use calcium, a mineral that gives strength to your bones and teeth, and helps your nerves and muscles function properly. Vitamin D also helps your immune system function effectively, and reduces inflammation.

A growing body of research now indicates that adequate levels of Vitamin D in our body can also provide protection from hypertension, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Because of Vitamin D’s ability to help the body regulate absorption of calcium it’s also showing it’s ability to help in reducing the severity of broke bones.
