Abstract: Objectives: Vitamin D is needed for many physiological functions. Vitamin D deficiency is a global problem, including vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy. Maternal vitamin D deficiency has been associated with an increased risk of adverse gestational outcomes.

The samples then were assessed for blood glucose, blood pressure and fetal weight using ultrasonography. Results: The results of the Pearson's correlation rank test for Vitamin D with estimated fetal weight, blood glucose, systolic blood pressure, and gestational ages as covariate showed a value of P>0.05. Statistically, it means that there is no correlation between vitamin D and other variables.
