Vitamins and Minerals for Preconception, Pregnancy & Postpartum: Vitamin D
Throughout this series on the Wonderfully Woven Podcast we'll be delving into key vitamins and minerals needed to nurture and nourish both baby and mama to aid in conception, support pregnancy and the postpartum season.
In this episode of the Wonderfully Woven Podcast, we’re going to chat about vitamin D! This is a vitamin that I think is commonly talked about but not fully understood - from its different forms to its function as a prohormone.
I delve into some interesting roles it plays such as:
- regulating calcium homeostasis
- aiding the process of endometrial decidualization
- sex hormone steroidogenesis
- developing your baby's lungs
- the mineralization of your baby's skeleton
