668044 tn?1225913014 I take One A Day Prenatal with DHA/EPA. The box (for $13) comes with one bottle of 30 prenatals and a bottle of 30 DHA/EPA pills. I have been taking them together through my pregnancy. My OB recommended them if the ones she prescribed didn't work out (they gave me a stomach ache so I went with One A Day). I have heard nothing but good things! I recommend them!

Avatar f tn ve done studies that show that babies who mothers take dha during pregnancy have less of a risk to develop autism and friends of mine who have took it throughout their pregnancy and through breastfeeding thier children seem advanced and very intellectually bright:)
Avatar m tn After being diagnosed with the beginnings of heart disease I have been doing a lot of reading and it appears that Omega 3 may benefit my condition. Does anyone know if this is true and if so can you get Omega 3 anyway other than eating fish?
Avatar f tn s highly recommend it, there are numerous studies that talk aboutthe benefits of Omega 3 and very few that talk about risks associated with pregnancy. I am 5 months pregnant and my baby is very healthy so far. The risks associated are from fish oil that comes from contaminated fish. You should look for supplements that are "distilled" from contaminants.
984847 tn?1253732146 You should really begin taking the 81 bb aspirin now BEFORE you get pregnant, cuz "if" thats an issue, then it will help w/implantation. I would follow your Dr's order & don't worry.
Avatar f tn There is a lot of nutrition confusion these days and you will find people who say that cod liver oil is good and some who say it's bad. People whose knowledge and judgement I trust recommend it and have taken it during their pregnancies so I would say you have definitely not harmed your baby. If you don't want to take it though, that's definitely fine. Also, your doctor would not have recommended it if it was truly proven, or even widely thought to be harmful.
566175 tn?1278430472 I take this two step vitamin with DHA being a second step, CVS brand. No stool softener though. I think to get a stool softener you need prescription vitamins.
415867 tn?1323365503 t been proven safe for use during pregnancy - also, supposedly your pregnancy hormones can make your skin react differently to the tanner and turn orange! I would not risk it.
871965 tn?1241833146 ) Because they use only the highest quality with the least amount of mercury (which can be harmful during pregnancy, that is why you should limit fish.) High quality fish oil is safe to take during pregnancy. The DHA need increases from 200mg (not pregnant) to anywhere between 300 and 1000mg (depending on which expert you consult) during pregnancy. It is also a mood enhancer and can reduce symptoms of depression and is thought to help with postpartum depression.

Avatar f tn Hopefully they make up for me not taking it during pregnancy. I normally do all three if I remember. I was super excited with this baby because I remembered to take my prenatals for about 5-6 months before I got pregnant and I was going to go buy the best prenatal then found out I needed prenatal with a stool softener.
Avatar f tn m taking the prescription vitafol-ob+dha which is $55 and I was taking bellybar before and during the earlier part of pregnancy which has almost 2x the amount of vitamins but no dha for $13 is it safe to switch back? Is there something else that I am overlooking?
Avatar f tn t gotten any of the benefits from them. Happened to me, I just bought new ones and started taking them. Even tho I didn't go so long without noticing.
467126 tn?1283144858 Pregnancy and tanning is always a touchy subject. Some salon owners don’t allow it, while others think it’s completely fine—in fact, many female salon owners say they tanned throughout their own pregnancies. What I hadn’t heard before was a question regarding the safety of sunless tanning while pregnant.
349463 tn?1333571576 I read many reviews, and finally decided Naturmade prenatal With DHA. can any one tell how many % of each minerals we require during TTC.
Avatar f tn One of my prenatal vitamins have DHA but no iron, and the other has iron but no DHA...The one with iron has a little higher percentage of vitamin C as well...which one should I take? If I take the one with no DHA is it ok to takr Advocare Omega Plex supplement on the side? Or should I take the vitamin with DHA and take iron on the side? These have me confused!

Avatar n tn Hi I am 6weeks pregnant but before I knew I was pregnant I am smoking cigarettes is anything that I can do so that my baby would still be healthy??I already quit smoking but I want to make sure if there is any to help my baby to be healthy cause I think that I am already pregnant and still smoking..
1472764 tn?1287588186 I'm 16 weeks and I'm suffering from a horrible yeast infection. I took 7 days of terazol and 3 days of monistat. Neither helped. Creams usually don't on me. Diflucan is the only thing that works but my dr. said he doesn't prescribe it during pregnancy. I'm so sick of it. I'm miserable. Has anyone ever taken diflucan when they were pregnant? What are the side effects to the baby?
Avatar f tn U can do that. Most prenatal vitamins that also have dha r two separate pills anyway. I take regular omega 3 fish oil pills from vitamin shop in conjunction with my prenatals from cvs. U may want to look into dha specifically for pregnancy, but they're also way more expensive. Also check to make sure the fish oil comes from small fish like sardines or anchovy and that it doesn't contain soy. It's a lot to look into, but I hope this helps.
