Taking omega-3s?

jojolh1003 · May 2014

Hi ladies,

Besides your pre-natal, are you taking any other supplements? Such as fish oil or a vegan source of omega-3s?

Thanks!

I am taking B6 to control nausea... Vitamin D... and probiotics.

No omega 3s right now, though.

I take krill oil. I've been taking it for a few years, since I never eat fish, so I just kept it up, along with vitamin d, b complex, and probiotics.

A prenatal that includes DHEA and Folic Acid.

Otherwise, I eat a lot of pasture-fed, free-range meats and eggs which are naturally high in Omega 3s and 6s. So I don't worry about needing any supplements for that.

I take the one a day vitamins for pregnancy as well as the DHEA prenatals. I also take 2000IU of Vit D every day.

I take a drinkable prenatal called isotonix. My doctor recommends 4000 mg of fish oil. She says it helps depression; and baby's brain development. I asked about more folic acid. She said my prenatal had enough.

Just don't skimp on the quality of the fish oil, Ladies. There can be high mercury in some.

I have been really curious about the fish oil supplements and was going to ask my midwife about it at my appointment tomorrow. I eat fish here and there but not enough, I think, and the only food aversion I really have right now is eggs :-(

You can get plenty of Omega 3s and 6s from pasture fed meats, so you could go that way instead of eggs. Or just take the fish oil. They make a chewable kind that is not so nasty-tasting.

DHE/EPA, vitamin D, iron, alfalfa (the only thing that got my iron up last time)

Prenatal, folic acid, royal jelly, fish oil, CoQ10, calcium supplements and my thyroid med. I keep trying to figure in iron, but I eat a lot of red meat, so probably ok. Cant take calcium and iron wirhin 4 hours of thyroid..... :P
