Just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this...
I have been reading that it is important NOT to have too much vit A when pregnant or Trying to get pregnant.
Im NOT TTC yet, but planning on coming off pill in Augast, having a few months regulating my cycle and actually Trying to concieve from Jan 2011...
At the moment i am just taking a "normal" multi-vit + iron tablet, but it contains 100% RDA of Vit A.
I was planning on swapping to a pregnancy multi vitamin as soon as i stop my pill, but was wondering IF i accidently got pregnant in Augast (when im superfertile havng stopped pill) would this vitA affect baby? and I should I stop taking this multi-vit sooner and start taking a pregnancy multi vitamin (which i assume does not contain Vit A) earlier?
Its just IF i got pg i wouldnt want to harm the baby if swapping vitamins a month or so earlier would be better...
or does vitA very quickly leave your system?
(on the multi-vit + iron it clearly says do NOT take if pregnant OR likely to become pregnant, so it got me thinking)
