Im freaking out as have just found out I was not supposed to be taking vitamin A while pregnant. Currently 7 weeks and have been taking a 1000 iu dose daily, have just read it causes birth defects when taken in the first trimester …I’m honestly distraught, why didn’t anyone tell me this. Now I just feel terrible and anxious 😥 any help please

I just Googled it, and it sounds like you're well within the safe range unless your diet has a gigantic amount of Vitamin A. I would not worry about it, and you should talk to your doctor if you're nervous. Congrats on your pregnancy!

I took odd vit tablet with vit A in it also, very early on, and my doc said it would need to be at toxicity levels, which a vit tab wouldn't contain taken daily. So hopefully all is ok. He wasn't concerned.
