“…Regarding vitamin D levels; majority of mothers (96.6%) were deficient/ insufficient for Vitamin D (only 3.4% had sufficient Vitamin D level). There are nearly similar results regarding maternal Vitamin D deficiency/ insufficiency from studies conducted at international and regional levels (11,17,18,19,20,21), while at national level, most of the studies that we found regarding Vitamin D deficiency/ insufficiency among women concentrated on nonpregnant women (women in childbearing age or postmenopausal women) rather than on pregnant women (22,23,24,3,25). Possible causes of Vitamin D deficiency/ insufficiency among mothers in our study might be tendency of Iraqi people in general to avoid sunlight exposure during summer months due to high temperatures.…”

Background: Vitamin D deficiency/ insufficiency is common in different age groups in both genders especially among pregnant women and neonates where it is associated with several adverse outcomes including preeclampsia and preterm delivery. Objectives: To assess the extent of vitamin D deficiency/ insufficiency among mothers and their neonates and some factors related to it and identify some adverse outcomes of the deficiency/ insufficiency on neonates (preterm birth and low birth weight). Subject and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 88 Iraqi pregnant women and neonates admitted to “Al-Elwiya teaching hospital for maternity” in Baghdad- Al-Rusafah from 1st of June 2019 to 31st of August 2019. Data about maternal age, mode of delivery, sex, weight, and gestational age were obtained. Vitamin D levels of mothers and their neonates were measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Results: In a total of 88 mothers and neonates, 96.6% of mothers had Vitamin D deficiency/ insufficiency compared to (86.4%) of neonates. There was a statistically significant difference between maternal and neonatal vitamin D levels. Neonatal Vitamin D levels were positively correlated with maternal vitamin D levels. Neonatal weight was positively correlated with maternal Vitamin D levels. The mean maternal and neonatal vitamin D levels were (12.16 ng/ml ± 7.06) and (20.25 ng/ml ± 10.97) respectively. Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency/ insufficiency was prevalent among mothers and neonates; with a higher prevalence among mothers. Maternal Vitamin D levels and neonatal weights were associated with neonatal Vitamin D levels.

PurposeThis study aimed to systematically review current evidence and quantitatively evaluate the associations between milk or dairy consumption during pregnancy and birth outcomes.MethodsThis systematic review had been reported in accordance with the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. A supplementary literature search in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase was conducted on 30 March 2021. Studies that assessed the association of maternal consumption of milk or dairy with birth-related outcomes were identified. The dose-response meta-analyses of continuous data and categorical data were applied. One-stage approach and two-stage approach were used where appropriate.ResultsIn total, 42 studies were eligible for the present systematic review, and 18 of them were included in the outcome-specific meta-analyses. The dose-response meta-analysis [Number of studies (N) = 9] predicted a maximum mean change in birthweight of 63.38 g [95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 0.08, 126.67] at 5.00 servings per day. Intake of dairy products had the greatest protective effect on small for gestational age at a maximum of 7.2 servings per day [Relative risk (RR) = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.56, 0.85] (N = 7). The risk of large for gestational age was predicted to be maximum at 7.20 servings per day of dairy consumption, with the RR and 95% CI of 1.30 (1.15, 1.46; N = 4). In addition, the relationship between dairy consumption and low birth weight (RR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.33, 1.50; N = 5) and pre-mature birth (RR = 1.13, 95% CI = 0.87, 1.47; N = 5) was not significant, respectively.ConclusionsMaternal consumption of dairy during pregnancy has a potential effect on fetal growth. Further well-designed studies are warranted to clarify the specific roles of individual dairy products.Systematic Review Registrationidentifier: PROSPERO 2020 CRD42020150608

“…[19] Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a questionnaire prepared by the researchers based on the relevant literature. [11,14,20] The questionnaire form consisted of 27 questions and there were 4 questions about sociodemographic characteristics of the women, 7 questions about their health and pregnancy history, and 16 questions about their iron, Vit D and MV usage during pregnancy. Current anemia was evaluated using hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Htc) values, which are normally checked during admission to the hospital and recorded in a patient file.…”

“…[8] According to findings of studies with pregnant women in different regions of Turkey, Vit D insufficiency ranges from 9.3% to 62.6%, Vit D deficiency ranges from 18.2% to 94.2%, and severe Vit D deficiency ranges from 24.2% to 46%. [9][10][11][12][13][14] Insufficient intake of vitamins from food despite the increased need during pregnancy leads to deficiencies and various maternal and fatal problems may occur. There are different research findings regarding the use of Vit D in pregnancy.…”

Anemia affects approximately 40% of pregnant women worldwide and half of anemia cases are associated with iron deficiency. [2,3] Iron deficiency causes fetal outcomes such as preterm labor, neonatal mortality and infection. [4] World Health Organization (WHO) recommends daily or intermittent use of iron prophylactically depending on the prevalence of anemia in the countries. [1,2] Since 2005, prophylactic iron supplementation has been recommended to all pregnant women including the postpartum period (40-60 mg/day), and treatment dose (100-120 mg/day) is given there is a presence of anemia in Turkey. [5] Evidently, however, the expected targets have not been achieved with this practice. The prevalence of anemia in the 1990s was 39.6% in Turkey, however the prevalence was 33.3% in 2000. [6] In addition, the prevalence of anemia was 32.4% in 2005, when iron supplementation started during pregnancy, and was 34.4% in 2016. [6] Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of iron, vitamin D and multivitamin supplement usage among pregnant women and the factors associated with it.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between March 15, 2018 and September 30, 2018 among a total of 400 pregnant women by the questionnaire form consisted of 27 questions. Hemoglobin values below 11g/dl were considered as anemia. Results:The mean age of the pregnant women was 28.2±5.2 years, and 170 (42.5%) of them had anemia. Among the pregnant women, 302 (75.5%) had been recommended to use iron, 208 (52.0%) had been recommended to use Vit D and 308 (77.0%) had been recommended to use multivitamin. Among the pregnant women 250 (62.5%) of them use iron, 146 (36.5%) of them use vitamin D and 262 (65.5%) of them use multivitamin. Conclusion:Although programs for iron and vitamin D have been carried out for many years, the use of vitamin D and iron in pregnant women were not at the desired level. Although there is not a routine recommendation, multivitamin use during pregnancy was found to be quite common.
