Are you taking fish oil during pregnancy? If so, when did you start taking it, and how much (mg)? My doctor says the benefits haven't been proven so I'm undecided on whether I should take it or not.

Answer

I take Nordic Naturals Prenatal DHA and have since my first pregnancy (now halfway through my 4th). It's supposed to help with baby's brain development AND mom's "baby brain" symptoms. I definitely saw a difference in my brain function when I started taking it! I also take cod liver oil gel caps. Look into the benefits of cod liver oil because there are a lot of them. ;)

Answer

My prenatal has plant-based DHA. Now that I'm not getting sick as much, I've started to take fish oil. My mom is a retired neo-natal nurse and she reads studies all the time. There was a preliminary study that showed a lack of fish oil and vit D could possibly be linked to autism. I figured there's no harm in taking them so I added them both to my diet.

Answer

The standard prenatal vitamin packs sold in Norwegian pharmacies have four pills a day, and two of those are omega 3s from fish. My first baby turned out great with these pills so I saw no reason to try to find another vitamin option the second time. The fish burps are kinda gross tho

Answer

your doctor is saying there isn't a benefit so why take them?

Answer

If you could add a note explaining why or why not, that would be super helpful! Thanks ladies!! 😘
