Can vitamin D deficiency lead to embryonic arrest?
Disease description:
I was found to have a slight vitamin D deficiency during my last prenatal checkup, and my recent test shows the same condition. Could this mildly affect the fetus? Can vitamin D deficiency lead to fetal arrest?

Dr. Wang Lei
It generally does not cause fetal arrest, but there is a certain relationship between the two. Pregnant women should eat more during pregnancy, as it is essential for the body. If vitamin D is insufficient, it can significantly affect fetal brain development and may even impact the fetus's intelligence and motor skills. During pregnancy, it is important to consume more foods rich in vitamin D and to have regular follow-up checkups.
