Help! Just found out I'm pregnant but I've been taking vitamin A!

Hi everyone

I was very excited to find out yesterday that I pregnant.

I went to the doctors today to fill a form in to see the midwife. On the form it advised you shouldn't take any vitamin A. I have been taking a multivitamin which gives me 100% of my vitamin A allowance every day. I've taken it every day for the past 4 weeks of my pregnancy.

Do you think this is something to worry about? And has anyone else experienced this?

I'm getting used to a whole new world of rules!

Thanks for your help :) x

It'll be fine and I bet you haven't been knocking back tons of liver at the same time.

Just swap TPS pregnancy vitamin now you know.

Thank you! And no I haven't had any liver!

Thanks for your help :)

I ate liver like my life depended on it in early pregnancy with my first, until my midwife looked at me like I’d been feeding myself bleach. My first is now 11 and making a robot in the other room - he doesn’t seem to have grown any extra heads.

Just stop taking the vitamins. Lots of people take normal vitamins before they realise they’re pregnant (like me 2/3 times).
