can i take omega 3 pills while pregnant

you know, I haven't been taking the Omega 3 since I got pregnant - they make me nauseous. I just take my prenatals daily. I try to eat healthy(doesn't always happen) but i do try. I didnt take any Omega 3 with my other kids and their fine, so oh well.

I talked to my Dr when I first found out and I can't remember how much he said. I do know that I take 2 pills and they are 1000mg each. I do remember him saying if you don't take at least a certain amount it would have no effect or help on the development of the brain.

Hi. My husband and I each take a Womens/Mens one-a-day, an extra vitamin C & Fish Oil (Omega 3). I also take an extra Folic Acid, a baby aspirin & a vitamin B-6. I just started the baby aspirin this cycle. We've been really good about taking our pills with dinner. Aside from ttc, it's a good way to stay healthy ! :) Good luck !!!

Does anyone know if I can just take an omega-3 supplement, or should I eat all the foods this app is telling to to get it. I'm not much of a fish eater.

i think they are really still researching all of that.. i know i take 300mg of DHA with my prenatal (its vegetable/plant derived i believe). I know taking too much can caue the blood to thin, but that was a good thing in my case ( we found i had a blood clotting disorder). and as pamela said.. it does apparnetly help with brain development! I would also ask your dr..

I remember hearing fish oil was good for irregular heart beats. Then I heard it can cause irregular heart beats, so I don't take it. I have bought the krill oil before but after hearing that I didn't take them. I'm not a big fish eater, but I do eat it once in a while, probably is better to get the omega 3 that way and not to over do it.

Is it ok to take Omega 3 Fish Oil with an SSRI medication? I have read some places that the Fish Oil can help the effectiveness of the medication as well as help in other areas such as cardiovascular, cancer prevention, etc. Has anybody tried this? Does it work or is it all just here say? I have also read where it increased some peoples anxiety. Just wondering...

I've been taking omega 3 since before I got pregnant everyday along with the prenatal vitamin. I know that it has helped my blood pressure stay low and I don't swell that much. Studies do say many great benefits for the baby including increasing intelligence. So I'd say go for it!

I have tried many multi-vitamins in the past and always find that something within them makes my stomach upset. Not sure if it is the iron or zinc but when i take the vitamins like B,C, D and Omegas I feel ok.

I'm 19, I've recently started to take Omega-3 supplements. When i took them, after a while, it felt as if my chest and throat tightened a little, but it wasn't difficult to breathe at all. Also, when i woke up this morning it feels like something is crawling in my throat. Am I allergic? Should I keep taking these supplements?

I am taking Nature Made Fish Oil 1200 mg, I take 3 pills a day and it is working perfectly, I can even jog 1.5 miles a day with no problems at all.

Quite a complex topic this but at the same time an interesting one. Omega 3 isn't just one substance, Omega three are fatty acids just like Omega 6 fatty acids found in oils and meat etc. Omega 3 are EPA, DHA, and ALA . Some experts have said that the balance between Omega 6 fatty acids and Omega 3 is key, but just as many say this is nonsense. Omega 3 do have benefits, mainly reducing inflammation in the body, such as in the arteries or joints.

I read where Omega 3 was good for your dog. Is it a different Omega 3 or is it the same that humans take?

lol. I take Omega 3 Fish oil pills now while ttc. No matter what we do, babies or no babies, they will find fault with just about everything so I say...eat up ladies and make sure the fish is thoroughly cooked. Have a nice day!

I take my prenatal pill one times a day. And It has everything I need But No omega 3 an I heard to take it 2nd or 3rd trimester. Just don't remember what was said.

What is the benefit of Omega 3, Omega 6 and omega 9, can u tell me individually ? Do these all Omega 3,6, and 9 help for lowering cholesterol?

It is working very well, but his dose (after gradual increase to a point of benefit) is more than recommended. Can he overdose on 3 times the normal dose of purified omega 3 fish oil..the brand he takes is Health from the Sea PFO pure fish oil liquid. He takes twice the dose of the flax seed oil (same brand name).

The first time I tried fish oil it gave me terrible fish burps. Ick! Last year I tried Nature Made which has the USP seal. No fish burps but no help with the arrhythmias either. Unfortunately (I say this because I don't like taking pills anyway), my cardio put me on Diltiazem a month ago because of some chest pain and upcoming surgery (I sailed through that). It's been most helpful but I still grimace and rebel each morning when I take it. LOL Dr. Oz is a character, isn't he?

Yes, you can give fish oil caps. Salmon oil caps at Costco. Omega 3 caps daily. Canned sardines packed in oil. Actually, quite a few people are starting to add coconut oil with good results. This is a good link to read up on http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:U4NQT9evYhEJ:www.natural-dog-health-remedies.com/coconut-oil-benefits.html+coconut+oil+for+dogs&cd=12&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a&source=www.google.

I normaly took 5-9 pills a day like 2-3 before meals depending. When I was having sever mania or panic attacks I took 7-8 pills at once but I noticed that it slowed down my resting heart rate ....I would recomend the brand country life brand they make some decent vitmins, (the brand you buy can really make a huge diffrence) there are a few others offhand but I can't rember their names. Try going to your local whole foods GNC or central market...
