By eating a balanced, healthy diet and taking your prenatal supplement, your needs for vitamin A can easily be met. Taking additional vitamin A supplements is extremely dangerous and is NOT recommended when pregnant or trying to conceive. Concerning supplementation, look for prenatal formulas, which are usually catered to meet your needs during pregnancy and avoid toxicity. Try to find a supplement that lists some or all of its vitamin A contents in the form of beta carotene. Because this is the vitamin A precursor, it will meet your needs without the risk of birth defects that can occur with high doses of preformed vitamin A.
