Any vegetarians on the board?

I'm ovo/lacto, my DH too, but I'm considering adding salmon for the Omega-3/DHA. I've been taking a vegan supplement, but it just makes me burb seaweed all day (sorry tmi). Anyone else considering this?

I'm not a vegetarian, but I just wanted to say that one thing that helped me with my fish oil burps is to freeze the capsules and then take them at night, not in the AM. If your supplement is not a gel capsule, freezing probably won't help, but it's just a thought.

Salmon is so good for you though! I can't remember if salmon is one of the fish you are supposed to avoid when PG (mercury and all that) but if the doc says salmon is okay, I would go for it!

Tuna is the mercury fish. Salmon should be okay. Of course Wild caught would be the best to avoid hormones. I've done a lot of research on Japanese culture and pregnancy because we eat a lot of sushi lol. In moderation is the key over there!

I actually got Omega/Fish Oil is a gummy this time around. I like them quite a bit

When you are taking that many pills it is nice to have a change.

I used to be ovo/lacto, and then added fish about 12 years ago (way before TTC), and now I kind of go back and forth. Sometimes I'll just eat it when at a restaurant and there's nothing else, other times I more actively seek it out, cook it, etc. I have been trying to up my intake a bit. My acupuncturist suggested less processed foods, and a lot of the fake meat products (and she said tofu as well) are fairly processed, so seems like fish is a better option there. Mostly get Alaska wild salmon and cod.
