Resume

Vitamin D status during pregnancy largely depends on cutaneous synthesis induced by ultraviolet radiation. This review analyzes literature data on seasonal variation of vitamin D status in pregnant women and its association with pregnancy course and perinatal outcomes. The evidence indicates a decrease in maternal 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels during the autumn–winter period, even in regions with high solar exposure, which may increase the risk of adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. Consideration of seasonal factors is important for vitamin D assessment during pregnancy.

Keywords: vitamin D, pregnancy, seasonality, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, perinatal outcomes.
