Re: I don't eat any seafood/fish.

  • Do you take a DHA supplement?

  • I don't take anything. I just ran out yesterday and purchased Folic Acid and Fish Oil 1000mg. I probably haven't had a piece of fish since I was a child.

    I detest all fish.  

  • Yes, you should be taking an omega-3 supplement then.  Just make sure that it's mercury free.  Many fish have high mercury content so you need to make sure that your pills are not made with these fish.  Some women on here use the Expecta brand.  It's made from something other than fish.

  •  I don't either.  I'm going to ask my OB at my next appt if he would recommend the Expecta or something like that. 

    Sometimes I have tuna if it's in a casserole but I guess that doesn't count for much.  :( 

    I just hate the taste of all seafood.  I even bought some eggs that contain Omega-3s and they freakin' taste like fish!!!  EW!!! 

    FYI: walnuts contain omega-3s if you can handle those.  I have tried eating them by themselves and they have a rather strong taste.  I may try putting them in recipes though.

    ?Um.... eggs that contain Omega-3's are eggs hatched by chickens that are fed flaxseed. ?They contain no fish and the chickens don't eat fish products.

  • I know about the chickens being fed flaxseed--that's what the carton said--but honestly, it DOES taste like fish.  There's no mistake about it.  I don't know why--it's a mystery to me.
