I can't see a problem it doesn't state to avoid them. They're highly nutritional just don't go over board as with anything just stay away from the obvious. 💗🤗😘

As far as I know it's vitamin A from animal sources (like those found in supplements) that are the problem and plant based sources are ok. My clinic told me I was fine to eat carrots so sweet potatoes should be ok. Just don't go crazy with them. X

You’re right, it’s only the retinol form of vitamin a that you need to avoid and this is usually found in animal products or artificial vitamin supplements. Sweet potatoes are fine, eat away!

Yes definitely you could eat them my dr suggested me to consume a normal daily diet. keeping a check that whether essential prenatal vitamins have been administered or not.

Vitamin A helps in cell repair, skin cell production and what not things in the growth of baby. it is indeed a must in your diet. everything excessive will def has some or other mal-effect.

So talk to a specialist or your dr to know the foods you should consume before you judge by your own and end up eating not up the right things.

Hope it helps, as i had eaten well exercised well and had a beautiful natural delivery in my hands.
