I am confused by your question. YOu're taking 200 IU Vit. D - that is actually less than recommended. So no, it's not really bad, it won't hurt you, but I do think your sway and baby's health would be better if you took more.

I’m sorry, I mistyped. The Ritual brand prenatal has 2000IU in it, not 200. I was taking a women’s one a day multivitamin plus two 400 vitamin d a day. But now since I switched to the prenatal I do not take any extra since it has 2000IU. So you advise i discontinue prenatal because 2000 is too much?

Many sources recommend up to 4000 IU in pregnancy. I suspect that 2000 is fine, I just feel better recommending 1000.

I would not discontinue the prenatal if you like it otherwise for that reason.

Has anyone gotten headaches from taking FA?

Started taking them this month and I've been waking up to headaches and dizzyness.. Wondering if it's the pills

Cut back to half the dose and see if it gets better.
