How much faster does your stomach grow when pregnant with twins?

I know that when you’re pregnant with one baby, most people don’t really start to show until after a few months. I was wondering if you show much earlier when pregnant with twins? Do you basically get bigger twice as fast?

Too much Vitamin A while pregnant?

So I recently read about the problems with having too much Vitamin A (in its fake form) while pregnant, and now I’m worried I’ve been eating too much Vitamin A. First of all, my vitamin contains 2700 I.U. of Vitamin A in the form of Vitamin A Palmitate. Then I also eat Pop Tarts, which have 10% of the D.V for Vitamin A in the form of Vitamin A Palmitate and also I ate cream cheese which has 6% of the D.V for Vitamin A in the form of Vitamin A Palmitate. I eat about 2 Pop Tarts a day and I just finished off the cream cheese which had about 2-4 servings left.

Now I’m worried I could have eaten too much! How much is too much? Do you think that it’ll be ok?

Can I be hurting the fetus with too much vitamin D?

Due to Depoprovera causing bone density loss, I have been taking 800 IU of vitamin D with calcium supplements and have continued through my pregnancy. Now I’ve read that too much vitamin D can cause mental retardation, etc. in a fetus. Is 800 IU too much for a pregnant woman? Or is the number for overdose in the 1,000’s? I’m scared because I hope I didn’t already cause irrepairable damage to my baby.

Why do some prenatal vitamins have soooo much of certain ingredients, and is this dangerous?

I take Trader Joe’s prenatal vitamins and have noticed that for some of the ingredients, like vit A and a bunch of the B vitamins, it has like 300% or 400% of the recommended daily value of that particular vitamin. Isn’t it dangerous to have too much of fat-soluble vitamins and if so why would they put this in a prenatal vitamin?
