Vitamin D is known to play an important role in bone metabolism and immune system regulation. Objective: to evaluate the impact of maternal vitamin D level on Baby hematological & anthropometric measurements. Patients and methods: prospective cross sectional study was conducted on 22 women with their babies who delivered vaginally at AL- Jamhoria hospital labour room with gestational age ˃ 37 week. The verbal consent was taken with Full out the questions Form. Maternal venous blood for biochemical (vitamin D, PTH, s. Ca+, s. Po4, s. Alk. Ph) & baby venous blood for biochemical (vit. D, s.Ca+, s. PO4, s. Alk. Ph) and anthropometric measurements (B. weight, Length, Head circumference) were taken immediately after birth by same person. Results and Conclusion: 22 women with their babies, aged between 19- 42 year with mean (31.5± 5.83) where 5 (22.7 %) 0f them received vitamin D injection during pregnancy. Mean maternal vitamin D & parathyroid hormone levels were (3.29± 1.36 & 53.2± 2.2) respectively, the mean maternal calcium, phosphate & Alkaline phosphatase were {(8.5± 0.42), (3.66± 0.46), (77.5± 2.2)} respectively. The mean baby vitamin D level is 3.75± 2.04 where10 (45.5%) of babies had features of vitamin D. The mean baby calcium, phosphate, Alkaline phosphatase were {(9.20± 0.56), (5.20± 0.7), (93.5± 3.20)} respectively. The mean baby birth weight, Length, Head circumference were {(3.35± 0.45), (49.95± 1.17), (34.79± 1.08)} respectively. The significant correlation were exists between Maternal vitamin D & baby vitamin D & between Maternal parathyroid hormone & Baby Alkaline phosphatase.
