I'm 10w4d pregnant. I have been taking two multivitamins each day to get the required amount of folic acid. My doctor told me that I could be overdosing on vitamin A that way and to switch to a regular prenatal vitamin. The dose of vitamin A I have been taking for approximately 4 weeks totals 10,000 IU. I'm scared that I've caused damage to my baby. I know that there's nothing I can do at this point but to stop taking 2 multivitamins. Can anyone offer me advice the consequences of my actions?

Thank you, Janet
