%X Introduction Due to the positive effects on fetal and maternal health, there is an increased need for vitamin and mineral supplements during pregnancy. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the postnatal outcomes and pregnancy complications of pregnant women who received vitamin D supplementation, calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) as micronutrient supplement. Materials and Methods A total of 2114 patients aged between 18 and 40 years were included in this prospective, longitudinal and qualitative study between January 2016 and January 2018. Results The mean maternal age was 28.11 ¡À 6.12 for all patient groups. The mean age of the group received multivitamins was lower than the vitamin D group (p = 0.001). In the group receiving only Mg and vitamin D supplements, the number of postgraduate educated patients were more (p = 0.001). There was no significant relationship between Mg, Ca, vitamin D and multivitamin use and pregnancy complications. LGA was more frequent in multivitamin-using group (p = 0.038). The first gestational age was found to be lower in Ca and multivamine group compared to the group receiving Mg and vitamin D supplement (p = 0.001). Conclusion Vitamin and mineral supplementation as well as the regular daily nutrition is important not only for women to have a healthy pregnancy period without any maternal complications but also for growth and development of the fetus. More prospective studies with larger population are needed for supporting the benefits of these supplements and suggest their routine usage
