Dietician? Doctor? Need help

[meli_g11]

Any dieticians out there or someone you are close to?  I need help understanding nutritional labels.

I have a question concerning Vitamin A.
On the label if it says:
 Vitamin A - 10%.  (10% as Beta Carotene).

Does that mean the entire 10% is Beta Carotene, or 10% of the 10% = 1% is beta carotene?

Or with other numbers:
Vitamin A .... 80% (20% as beta

Honestly, I never paid attention to any of that. I took my prenatals, plus some calcium (Viactiv chews) if I remembered which was rare and iron supps at the end of pgcy which I stopped after a while too.

Re: the nuchal test...I did it. I did all of the tests that were offered...I really don't know what I would have done if they came back showing a high risk for one of the diseases, but I guess I just wanted to know. We found out that Jake was a boy at the nuchal!

Ok, then I am not going to stress too much over the Vitamin A.

At first I figured we would automatically do nuchal too, but now I'm not sure. I guess there's no harm....
Thank you!

What other tests did you do?
