Study links low vitamin D in early pregnancy to fourfold increase in preterm birth risk.

A recent study from Penn State links low vitamin D levels in early pregnancy to a higher risk of preterm birth.

Researchers recommend women planning pregnancy consider vitamin D supplements and consult their doctor for nutritional status checks.
