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?

How much maternity leave did you take? When did you start your maternity leave?

I have been advised by Dr to start maternity leave asap which is at 29 weeks in the UK. How long did you take to be with your baby? Am worried that if I start maternity leave too soon I won’t have as long off once the baby is born, however I want to follow what I have been advised by my doctor.
