Just wanted to see what other moms (to be) had to say. I have read about taking Omega 3 fish oil during pregnancy. I was originally put on a name brand for my prenatal vitamins that included the DHA fish oil pill. When I was switched to a generic, it was no longer included. I asked my OBGYN what her opinion was, and she really didn't have one either way as to whether or not to take it. I asked my pharmacist, and he said his wife took if while she was pregnant. Just wanted to know what some of you were doing and/or your thoughts! Thanks in advance
I take an over the counter prenatal by naturemade with DHA included. I used to take a separate fish oil but switched to this instead.

It's funny I just had an argument about it with my mom today. I'm on Lovaza for kidney issues. She kept telling me it was completely fine, but when I looked it up online it's Category C and studies have shown it to cause problems in rats. I don't know if it would be the same as the non-name-brand.. I know there's a difference since he wanted me on this one in particular.
My dr said she didn't dare what over the counter brand I was taking as long as it had DHA in it. I guess its a new thing to add it to prenatals, so not every one has it.
