Please speak with a gynaecologist before starting any glucose supplements in pregnancy. Also, please get a glucose challenge test. The main vitamin that should be avoided in excess quantities is Vitamin A. In large doses as a supplement, it has been shown to have a potentially negative effect on fetal development. Carrots and vegetables, on the other hand, do not contain vitamin A itself but carotene. Carotene is provitamin A and is converted to vitamin A in your body only if your body needs it, so you cannot get too much Vitamin A by eating carotene because the body regulates conversion from carotene to Vitamin A. Vitamin D and toxicity is a heavily studied topic. The upper level of Vitamin D supplementation is set at 2,000 IUs a day. The human body can produce 20,000 IUs of Vitamin D if exposed to the sun without clothing in one shot. Herein lies the trouble with supplementation. Vitamin D toxicity does occur, but due to the overwhelming conflict in studies, Vitamin D supplementation is not recommended for pregnant women. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
