Pregnant women in the UK should be told to routinely take vitamin D supplements, researchers say.

The team at University College London Institute of Child Health says official bodies currently offer conflicting advice.

Writing in the British Journal of Nutrition, they say there is a "strong case" for a daily dose of vitamin D in pregnancy.

And what about spending some time in the sun? The body makes Vitamin D if exposed to sunlight.

Pregnancy is totally parasitic, any woman who doesn't take a decent multivitamin every day, eat properly and look after herself is mad afaiac.

Or they could just eat oily fish like any normal would do.

Multivitamins are no good when pregnant. There's too much vitamin A & iron in them (I think they're the ones), they can cause birth defects.

You can get pregnancy multivits, my sister took them with both her boys and they were recommended by her midwife.

Not to mention the continuing debate about how little is actually absorbed in reality.
