The vitamin D serum level of two groups, the first one wasnon-pregnantreproductive age women (18-35 years), and the second one was first-trimester pregnant women,was collected. Samples were examined by Electro Chemiluminescence Immunoassay (ECLIA) method. The study was conducted in Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital in February-April 2018.
