[tri-wings] vitamine A question

 

I started taking pre natal vitamins as soon as I found out I was pregnant
andgot them at GNC which is a health food store.  Anyway I had to take 2 a
day and did so for a month.  These do not have iron because my stomach does
not tolerate iron in the form of pill very well.  I was told they were safe
and guess I did not question any further because GNC is such a reputable
nutrition store.  Anyway, when I had my visit the other day, I showed them
toher and she said stop taking them immediately.  They have way to much
vitamin A and this could cause birth defects.  I freaked out and she told me
most likely everything would be ok, just stop taking them and try the kind
she her self prescribed for me with low iron and safe dosage of vitamin A. 
Well, I have been reading up on this and now I am scared I may have hurt the
baby not knowing I was doing so.  How could a reputable store sell prenatal
vit. loaded with TO MUCH of something that could be harmful to the baby?? As
if I do not already have enough to worry about, now this.  I just can't get
it out of my mind.  Has anyone taken to much of this and if so how was the
outcome?   Lesa   --- daltonprice@xxxxxxxxxxxxx[1] --- EarthLink: It's your
