Have I really messed up?

Hi all. Im feeling angry with myself.

I bought a body lotion with vitamin A in before I got pregnant and have used it on and off during pregnancy but more so recently. I wanted to find a similar so looked at its ingredients and horrified to see if has vitamin A which I understand is a no in pregnancy.

How badly have I messed up here? I can't believe it as I've been careful with everything else. Truely hoping I get replies to this telling me to get a grip and that it's not a big deal 😭, It is the gold bonds diabetic lotion if anyone is wondering.

I think you have to have had huge amounts of Vitamin A in pregnancy for there to be a problem. You wouldn't be able to get enough into your body through occasional use of a lotion.

Just don't use it anymore. Don't worry and congratulations!

Please do try not to worry! There’s such a small amount actually absorbed through lotion, you won’t have done any harm. Congratulations! Xx
