I'm new here and also 6 weeks pregnant:)

Between the research and talking to a pregnancy primal nutritionist, we should be eating 2-4 eggs a day- over easy or medium preferable.

As for Omega: our 6's and 3's should be 1:1 ratio. Americans eat tons of 6's which must of us needs to reduce- try eating salmon/chicken 3 days a week and small amount of fruit. Focus on coconut milk/ oil, butter and avocados. Its more important to maintain a good 1:1 ratio of 6's and 3's.

I agree with a lot of your advice, but pregnant women should really eat eggs that are fully cooked - the yolk should not be runny. As unlikely as it is, there is always the chance of getting salmonella from undercooked eggs. I love eggs over-easy, but I'll be eating them either hard-boiled or scrambled for the rest of my pregnancy.

How much omega is in my regular, generic, jumbo brown eggs? I don't buy the special organic omega ones. Maybe I should?

I am new on here also. It is nice to hear all this information. Is is o.k. to eat over easy eggs? I love them but had stopped bc Dr. said not to eat anything raw?

thanx for the input girls. right now only eggs and avocado goes down my throat everything else do not stay. i feel queasy all day. nauseous. specially when i am hungry. i try to eat fruits and almonds every hour to cut the nausea . hopefully this feeling will pass soon. so much sacrifice to make to give life. i appreciate my mother even better now. lol
