Vitamin B 12 and Vitamin D deficiency
Hi doc, I am 7 month pregnant and I received my blood reports today, I observed my vitamin b 12 levels are 122 pg/ml and vitamin D is 28.32 ng/ml which are low as per biological reference... I just recovered from Covid during which i had stopped intake of dairy products (vegetarian), did that affect my levels? How should I overcome this deficiency ? Would it have already affected the baby's brain development? I m worried, kindly help me

Yes. A vegetarian diet is very harmful and this is the reason for deficiency but it can be replenished by a supplementation. You can go for Vitamin B complex tablet per day e.g. Neurobion Forte and Vitamin D 60000 IU tablet/capsule 1 per week. However you must take proper written prescription from a Dietitian or a Doctor though these supplements are non prescription drug.
Next Steps
You may contact me directly via my website on Google and get a digital prescription if you need it, however it is not necessary to buy. You can also buy them directly over the counter or online shopping sites.
Health Tips
Always buy from established pharmaceutical or nutraceutical brands.
