prenatal vitamins...mistakes, concerns and general paranoia

I accidentally took 2 prenatal vitamins a day for a week. Now, hear me out: The Bottle said: "1 while tying to conceive, 2 while pregnant, 3 while breastfeeding." Then I discovered it was 1/day and that stupid large print must have just been a list, which would have been better as a bulleted list rather than a numbered one. Anyway...should I be concerned? About 5-8 weeks right now. Has anyone out there taken 2 a day for any duration before?

    You're more than likely fine, but if you're losing sleep over it, call your doctors office.

    Most of the extra vitamins would excrete in your urine, but there are some that can build up. Most likely you might just be a bit constipated. In general if you're worried call your doctor!

    Thanks Ladies! I talked to the nurse today and seems that the One-a-day vitamin only has about 50% daily values of fat-soluble vitamins, so I just got a little saturated last week.
