Help I’ve been taken cod liver oil without knowing it is dangerous for the baby

[Spockrates]

I assumed cod liver oil was safe because when I was taking pregnacare it came with what I thought was cod liver oil capsules, so when I stopped taking pregnacare I started taking 7 seas cod liver oil supplements I was just reading the plastic bag thing that my notes come in and it was saying foods to avoid and one of them was fish liver oils! I haven’t taken them every day only when I remembered some days I would take them a few days in a row then I’d forget for awhile take one capsules and forget again for another week or so should I call the midwife I don’t want to bother her unless I have good reason would u consider this good reason?

Just read your post and realised I've been doing the same! I didn't realise that pregnant women shouldn't be taking cod liver oil and have been taken them daily since I found out I was pregnant and I am currently 17 weeks.
Sorry I couldn't offer any advice but just jumping onto this post for hopefully some advice.

Have you been taking cod liver oil or fish oil? Fish oil is perfectly fine, where as cod liver oil contains vitamin A which is apparently bad for baby. Having said that, when my mum was pregnant they actively encouraged eating liver which is full of Vit A.. I would imagine that it's unlikely to have had any affect, just stop taking them and you could mention it to your midwife if you're worried.

@SillyOldBear3 I’ve been taking 7 seas cod liver oil have mentioned to my midwife waiting for her to text back

Hi did you get a response from midwife I have been doing the same and I’m so worried!

hi, have you talked to your midwife yet? How has it gone? I'm also worried. 6+4 weeks pregnant today and have been taking cod liver oil supplements until today!

It's the vitamin A content in them. Extremely high doses of vitamin A can be dangerous. I think the stuff in the pregnacare is tailored to pregnant women. Try not to panic, they massively err on the side of caution with these things. I was taking ibuprofen for weeks until I read I wasn't meant to be taking it.

@Spockrates could you please update us on what the midwife said, I’m 29 weeks pregnant and I have taken 14 capsules of the seven sea cod liver oil without knowing also and I’m so worried right now

Hello, can anyone update on how they got on? Realised I'm In the same situation
