1. Vitamin A (Retinol)
Although vitamin A is considered effective in promoting fetal growth and development, consuming too much vitamin A through supplements can significantly increase the risk of birth defects, negatively affecting the brain, spinal cord, and heart.
2. Vitamin D
Vitamin D is important for bone health and efficient calcium absorption. However, high levels of vitamin D can lead to hypercalcemia, too much calcium in the blood, leading to complications such as kidney damage or cardiovascular disease.
3. Vitamin E
Vitamin E is considered an antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress. However, taking too much vitamin E can increase the risk of bleeding during childbirth.
4. Vitamin K
Pregnant women need to get enough vitamin K through their diet, such as broccoli, kale, and fermented foods. However, too much can lead to blood clots in some cases.
5. Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine
Ideally, a healthy amount of vitamin B6 should be consumed, around 1mg to 1.9mg, but more than that can lead to neuropathy symptoms like numbness and tingling.
Note: During pregnancy, a woman's body is sensitive, so it is necessary to consult a doctor or specialist when using food and medicine to ensure good health for mother and baby.
