The right amount of vitamin A is essential for your baby’s development, to make sure their vision and immune system are working as they should.
However, too much vitamin A can be very harmful to your baby.
Your body will store the excess amount of vitamin A in your liver, which creates a toxic effect and can cause birth defects or abnormalities in your baby.
You should be getting the right amount of vitamin A from your prenatal vitamins and your diet - do not take an additional vitamin A supplement while pregnant, and if you do, speak to your doctor immediately.
