In brief

Our primary aim is to evaluate whether Vitamin D deficiency causes depressive symptoms in antepartum and postpartum depression and whether early correction of Vitamin D deficiency improves these symptoms. Our secondary aims evaluate maternal and fetal outcomes including antepartum, intrapartum, and immediate postpartum complications. We are also evaluating the effectiveness of a common vitamin D treatment regimen used outside of pregnancy.
