Background and objectives: Vitamin D deficiency causes calcium-depleted bone, which further weakens the bones and increases the risk of fractures. Also, It is known as related to obstetrics problem like gestational diabetes, infections, preeclampsia and incidence of caesarean section as well as glucose metabolism, immune system, cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
Recently, the relationship between preterm birth and vitamin D deficiency becomes the main interest and many studies have been done. We also planned to research the level of vitamin D in pregnancy women and find a relation with preterm labor to prevent preterm labor and do the active antenatal care.
Method: Study was done with 160 pregnancy women who taken vitamin D test (tandem mass) in our hospital from March 2013 to June 2014 checking the pregnancy outcome and medical history using the medical record.
Results: In this result, 21.3% were vitamin D-sufficient level during pregnancy. We cannot find statistical relation in preterm labor, gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, preeclampsia and the rate of caesarean section.
Conclusions: Following this study, we find many pregnancy women are lack of vitamin D and further study related to the role of vitamin D in obstetrics has to be made and more concerns are needed.
