Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation
during pregnancy starting at the beginning of the second trimester. Mothers will be
randomized to one of three vitamin D dosing groups: 400, 2,000 or 4,000 international units
per day. It is hypothesized that the highest dosing regimen will result in a better vitamin D
status of women regardless of their ethnicity or race.
