Multi Vitamins Help!!!
Hi,
I am 10 plus 3 PG. I have just read a disturbing article about how multi vitamins containing vitamin A can cause all kinds of birth defects. I have been taking them since I found out I was PG. I am now obviously worried sick as I thought I was doing the right thing. Has anyone else done this and not had problems?
Thanks,
Ann.

I'm afraid I haven't heard anything about Vit A being bad during pregnancy, but have just had a look at my pregnancy mulit vits (Biocare Ante-Natal Forte) and they don't include Vit A - first time I've noticed.
I'm sure you will be absolutely fine, but I'd call your doc/midwife just to make sure - and I suggest that perhaps you change to a multi vit especially for pregnancy just to be on the safe side.

Don't worry too much though - remember our parents were told to eat loads of liver as they used to think it was good in pregancy.
Had my first appt with midwife yesterday. Scan will be 3 or 4 weeks away
