Viamin A & Your Pregnancy

• Vitamin A having supporting role in the immune system.
• Vitamin A benefits your own health throughout pregnancy. An adequate, safe intake is important at all stages. 
• Your risk of deficiency is higher during the third trimester when requirements increase due to your baby’s accelerated development and increased blood volume.
• Your body naturally priorities your baby’s needs, which is why you need more.
•  Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning it is stored in the liver and fat cells of the body. 
•  A healthy supply of vitamin A during pregnancy builds up your baby’s natural stores in preparation for the first few months of life.
• A low level of vitamin A can affect your baby’s immune function after birth, leaving them more susceptible to infection and illness.
