Are you taking the right type of Vitamin A?

Vitamin A is important for proper development of baby’s organs (heart, brains, lungs, bones, kidneys, eyes). Deficiency of vitamin A during pregnancy can hinder the development of the baby’s immune system. However, overdosing on vitamin A can be bad for your health and lead to birth defects. Getting the balance right is essential!

Folate, how much do you need? It's generally recommended that the intake for pregnant women is 600 mcg DFE/day, and for nursing moms it's 500 mcg DFE/day. (DFE stands for Dietary Folate Equivalents. DFE takes into account that synthetic folic acid is better absorbed than foods with the natural form of the vitamin). (Neural tube defects are congenital abnormalities in the baby's brain and spine.)
