HELP! I've accidentally been taking Vitamin A and am pregnant.

Morning all,

I know it won't change anything but I can't help but panic as I've realised this morning that I've been taking cod liver oil which contains 800ug vitamin A 😔.

The first day of my last period was the 3rd of October, which according to NHS guidance puts me at 5 weeks pregnant as of the 5th of November (please correct if mistaken).

I have taken the supplement for exactly 28 days and am now incredibly worried and can't believe how stupid I've been so early on 😔.

Any words of advice / reassurance would be greatly appreciated right now as all I can think about is birth defects and dread waiting for the scans.

Thank you x

@Jasmine133 thank you, it is what it is but we are getting through it!! Seriously don't worry, just stop taking any vitamins with vitamin a in and you should be fine.
