Vitamins beyond FA and Vit D

I am only in the very early stages of pregnancy (5 weeks ish) and I take 5mg folic acid and vitamin D every day (have for months, the high dose FA is due to other medical conditions). Someone said I should be taking a pregnancy vitamin as well, but could I just take a normal multivitamin if I can find one without vit A, or maybe I could take a vit B supplement as well?
Is anyone else taking a multivitamin on top of FA and vit D tablets as well, and if so which brand? There seem to be quite a few out there.

I wouldn't go with a normal multivitamin and get a pregnancy multivitamin. You can go with any brand you like, not much difference.
I have Asda's own pregnancy multivitamin, 5mg folic acid on top as consultants want me on it, Omega 3 and I had extra vitamin D in the winter months.
