FAQ : What Should You Avoid when Taking Prenatal Vitamins?

Always check with your doctor before adding any additional supplements outside of any prenatal vitamins you may be taking.

1. Excessive Vitamin A : This vitamin is important for fetal vision development and immune function. We usually get enough Vitamin A from existing prenatal vitamins and foods. Furthermore, it is fat soluble thus your body stores excess amounts in the liver. Too much of it in the liver may lead to liver damage or birth defects. 

2. Excessive Vitamin E : This vitamin is involved in gene expression and immune function. However, taking too much may increase the risk of abdominal pain and premature rupture of the amniotic sack.

3. Excessive Vitamin B6, C and D

4. Black Cohosh : Used for controlling hot flashes and menstrual cramps. It is unsafe to take during pregnancy as it can cause uterine contractions, leading to preterm labor. It may also cause liver damage.

5. Goldenseal : A dietary supplement to treat respiratory infections and diarrhea. It contains berberine, which has been shown to worsen jaundice in infants. It can lead to a condition called kernicterus, a rare type of brain damage that can be fatal.

6. Dong Quai : A root that is popular in traditional Chinese medicine to treat everything from menstrual cramps to high blood pressure. It may stimulate uterine contractions, raising the risk of miscarriage.

7. Yohimbe : Yohimbe is used as an herbal remedy to treat a range of conditions from erectile dysfunction to obesity. This herb has been associated with dangerous side effects like high blood pressure, heart attacks, and seizures.

8. Other herbal supplements that should be avoided during pregnancy:
- Saw palmetto
- Tansy
