Multivitamin use in pregnancy

Question

Asked for Female, 27 Years

I just found out that I'm Pregnant and have been using multivitamins that contain 900ug of vitamin A. I've since read that huge doses of this vitamin should be avoided as they can harm the bby. Can 900ug be considered unsafe? Thank you
