Yes. Several vitamins have some sort of side effect when taken in megadose quantities. Vitamin A most readily comes to mind. Remember that there's usually a very large range between the recommended daily allowance of a vitamin and it's upper limit (the point at which toxicity would become an issue). You'd need to consume at least several hundred percent (sometimes several thousand percent) of the RDA of a vitamin for a period before toxicity would become a problem. Don't fret if you happen to have a Centrum multi-vitamin and a few servings of Total throughout the day. On the otherhand, don't go about popping vitamins like candy and be aware of toxicity levels if you are taking supplements. http://www.umm.edu/patiented/articles/what_vitamins_000039_1.htm Good resource on vitamin toxicity levels.

Can you start taking vitamins when you are one month old pregnant?
Yes, in moderation. If you are prescribed pre-natal vitamins, then take them as directed. if you're buying off-the-shelf vitamins, take THOSE as directed. Some vitamins can be toxic when taken to excess (like vitamin A), and some are OK in any amount (like vitamin C). if you are eating a properly balanced diet, you probably don't NEED vitamins, but for a newly pregnant mom-to-be, a folic acid supplement (taken in accordance with the directions, no more!) isn't a bad idea.

Do fat-soluble vitamins pass easily into the bloodstream?
Only a few vitamins are fat soluble, including Vitamins A, E, and K. For this reason it is possible to have negative effects if you ingest much more of these vitamins than normal daily values. Vitamin C, D, and the B vitamins are water soluble and thus not soluble in fat, and cannot be "overconsumed," as any extra will be passed out through urine by the kidneys.
