Everything's going to be okay.   If anything,  your bones would suffer.  Don't worry, vitamin D deficiency is extremely common.  I take a chewable over the counter for of calcium with vital D.  I just couldn't swallow those huge pills.  Anyway,  my vit D has gone up significantly.

Ive been taking vitamin d supplements since I was two weeks pregnant. Now im almost 37 weeks and still taking them and my levels are only mid range of normal considering how long ive been on them. Your baby will be fine. Just make sure you take them with calcium because it helps to absorb better.
