Target number of participants1,074
InterventionsThis trial comprises pilot and main studies:

Pilot study for the first 18 months, three groups of 60 participants each (total number of participants = 180):
Group 1: 400 iu vitamin D3 (oral) per day, from 14 weeks gestation to delivery
Group 2: 1,000 iu vitamin D3 (oral) per day, from 14 weeks gestation to delivery
Group 3: Placebo, from 14 weeks gestation to delivery

Main study will be vitamin D3 (dose chosen from pilot), from 14 weeks gestation to delivery vs placebo. 954 participants will be included in the main trial, 477 participants in each of the two arms (total number of participants = 954). The participants in the main trial vitamin D3 arm will include those who have participated in the pilot phase of the trial at the dose to be used in the main study i.e. 60 participants in the pilot study (either the 400 iu vitamin D3 or 1,000 iu vitamin D3 arm) will be included in the main study, and 894 new participants (954 - 60) will be recruited specifically for the main trial.
Primary outcome measure(s)Neonatal whole body bone area, bone mineral content and bone mineral density assessed by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) within 10 days of birth.
Secondary outcome measure(s)1. Neonatal and childhood anthropometry and body composition (weight, length and skinfold thickness measurements), assessed within 48 hours of birth
2. Women's attitude to pregnancy vitamin D supplementation (qualitative study; assessed in main study only). Methodology and timepoints of assessment not yet defined as of 03/03/2008
3. Childhood bone mass at 4 years
