I just found out that I am pregnant. I am 5 weeks and 4 days. I am due Jan. 29th. The thing I am really worried about is that I take 2 vit. suppl. a day and I'm wooried that I have taken too much vit. A & I harmed the baby. Each vit has 3,300 I.U. in them. Does anybody know if I might have or not??

It is said that lesss than 10000 i.u. is safe for pregnant people. Most pregnancy vitamins have less than 5000 i.u. because you get vit a elsewhere in your diet.

get prenatals with vit A in the form of beta carotene. in my last pregnancy, i lost the baby due to vit A toxicity. use caution with your vitamins - avoid cereals if you take them - they have tons of vit A

Get on a prenatal vitamin and use that as your vitamin until you can be seen by a dr to let them determine what is a proper dosage for you.
