How many of you are taking DHA? My doctor is so laid back, he was more like, if it was so important the government would recommend it formally like folic. He was not against them, just not for them. (Switzerland lol) I've been taking them anyway, but have been getting sick of all the supplements- i'm on extra iron twice a day, prenatals and Pepcid AC plus the DHA, and was wondering about the rest of you. I want to give my LO the best chance, but not take unnecessary things right now. So how many of you are or aren't? thanks!
My prenatal vitamins are prescription and the daily dose is actually two pills - the multivitamin and the DHA. I also saw a nutritionist early on in my pregnancy because I was nursing & pregnant and she recommended that I take additional Vitamin D, so I'm doing that too. A recent study came out that indicated that pregnant women probably need a LOT more vitamin D than they are taking, so I was happy that I've been taking it all along!

I take 3 pills a day: Prenatal vitamin, DHA, and Fiber pill.
My doctor gave me a sample of the DHA at my first appt. She said if I liked them and they didn't upset my stomach then I should consider taking them. I have been taking them ever since.
I take the Expecta Lipil DHA supplement. I did with DD and she was a preemie and did amazing. She is so smart too. I don't know that this had anything to do with her doing so well, but I figure it can't hurt.

my doc just suggested I start taking this today since I wasn't already.
I started taking Expecta in my 10th week at the recco of my ob and have not felt nauseous or fatigued all week (don't know if there's any correlation) BUT I have been burping like crazy and every time it tastes like I ate a bunch of limes. I hate it!
Re: how many of you are taking DHA supplements?
I've been taking Women's One-A-Day prenatal vitamins with DHA since my BFP.
But, with DS, I took two Flintstone vitamins everyday and my doc was fine with that.

Ditto this. There was a short time when I had bad MS that I didn't take the DHA pills, but otherwise have been taking them nightly with the prenatal
