2 | PagePurpose of Information ResourceThe information resource regarding vitamin D supplementation will provideevidences regarding the advantages of vitamin D oral supplements administration on thehealth and wellness of the pregnant women as well as their developing foetuses. The solepurpose of this information resource is to educate the pregnant women regarding therequirement of administration of vitamin D in accordance with the developmental needs ofthe developing fetus. The information resource also advocates the requirement of enhancingthe pregnancy outcomes while systematically motivating the pregnant women for consumingvitamin D supplementation (De-Regil, Palacios, Lombardo, & Pena-Rosas, 2016). Indeed, thecounselling of the pregnant women regarding the systematic administration of vitamin Dsupplementation during pregnancy substantially reduces the risk of pre-term birth andassociated adversities. The concomitant administration of calcium and vitamin D reduces thepredisposition of the pregnant women in terms of acquiring pre-eclampsia and associatedcardiovascular complications. The sustained defects in obstetric metabolism duringpregnancy lead to multivitamin deficiency and associated clinical complications. Thisdeficiency requires earliest mitigation with the objective of reducing the scope ofdevelopment of musculoskeletal complications in the pregnant women. The pregnant womenrequire attaining information booklets and pamphlets containing educational materialregarding various pregnancy complications (including tumours, infections, immune systemdefects as well as metabolic syndrome) that could emanate under the sustained influence ofvitamin D deficiency. (Mithal & Kaira, 2014). The informational leaflets as well asworkshops are highly necessary with the objective of increasing the knowledge of pregnantwomen regarding the administration of 4000 units (of vitamin-D) per day for fetaldevelopment (Mithal & Kaira, 2014). The sustained insufficiency of vitamin D in pregnant2 | Page

Vitamin Ddeficiency in pregnancy also increases the risk of caesarean section and associatedcomplications. The information leaflets require dissemination to the pregnant women in thehospital premises with the objective of increasing the pattern of self-monitoring regardingvitamin D administration for minimizing the pregnancy related clinical complications (Flood-Nichols, Tinnemore, Huang, Napolitano, & Ippolito, 2015). Evidence-based researchadvocates the requirement of administering calcium supplementation during pregnancy withthe objective of facilitating foetal skeletal growth (Lewis, Lucas, Halliday, & Ponsonby,2010). The enhanced absorption of vitamin D through various dietary sources as well asmaternal bone during foetal growth leads to the additional requirement of vitamin Dadministration in the pregnant women. Researchers have not yet defined the optimum serumthreshold requiring standardization for evaluating the pattern of vitamin D deficiency duringpregnancy. The information resource (i.e. vitamin D leaflets) will reduce the risk of pregnantwomen in terms of developing fertility related impairment during the antenatal period (Lewis,Lucas, Halliday, & Ponsonby, 2010). The Vitamin D informational leaflets will alsosubstantially increase the pattern of bone mineralization (i.e. absorption of phosphate andcalcium) in the developing fetus while enhancing the awareness of the pregnant womenregarding the administration of regular dosages of vitamin D irrespective of their vitamin Ddeficiency (Thorne-Lyman & Fawzia, 2013). The information resource will increase theknowledge base of the pregnant women in terms of the vitamin D requirement to facilitate thesmooth functioning of their cellular function, nervous system activities and musclescontraction (Thorne-Lyman & Fawzia, 2013). The information resource will also help the3 | Page
