1885735 tn?1322375616 Fish oil with dha and epa.
Avatar f tn FISH OIL has both DHA plus EPA. The lattest is not good for pregnancy but the DHA is good, so don't take fish oil as they sell it, get DHA alone. All pharmacies have it.
1492421 tn?1290300515 personally i take a high quality prenatal vitamin ( Sisu expecting) , a folic acid and a dha. I buy from our local health food store and the ladies there said you can never get enough folic acid. I take the dha kinda for the same reason, most people are low in dha and its extremely important for brain development.
Avatar f tn I work at a health food store and New Chapter is by far the best brand of vitamin you can buy its made from all whole foods so you can take on an empty stomache and it has probiotics in it which are great for any stomache ir digestive issues you might experience through out your pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Go to walmart or another large food chain and you can get a pregnancy vitamin with approx 800MCG (micrograms not milligrams) of folic acid. Dr's reccomend taking approx 2-5 milligrams of folic acid only if you have had a child with a neural tube defect (spina bifida, etc). the 5mg won't hurt you or the baby if you do get pregnant. I took 3mg during my pregnancy (both of them) and my son's both turned out fine regarding the neural tube defects.
Avatar f tn I was taking nature made with dha, and just recently switched to enfamils prenatal with dha because they sent me a free months supply. Most prenatals are good just finding one that does not upset your stomach is the trick. Take it with food and at night before bed. It helps to do that.
1169104 tn?1303349638 i get them all the time and my Dr said before its lack of iron, there should be iron in your pre-natal vitamin but you may want to consider a liquid form of iron ( I get mine at the health food store) its easier for the body to absorb. I have never had an issue with this but iron can make you constipated. I would take dha to counter act that, also something that I take. I take the expectant mothers pill, 2 a day and have never had poop issues. Both are very important in pregancy!
Avatar n tn Keep an eye on yourself as far as dehydration! My last pregnancy I had HG. I am hoping this is not the case with this pregnancy! Hoping you feel better soon!
657586 tn?1224587947 s with at least 450mg of DHA, the form responsible for brain, nervous system, and eye development. DHA is ESSENTIAL for these things. As long as you are taking High quality fish oil which is low in mercury or eating fish that are low in mercury then all is fine! Eat away for the health and development of your baby!
Avatar f tn s with fish oil concentrate. Should I maybe look at the health food store for some that are especially for pregnancy? Thanks!
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.
548642 tn?1266179652 what are you taking??????? i was on tandem dha with my last pregnancy but this pregnancy he just has me on folic acid 1mg once a day until the 2nd trimester! he said prenatal pills will make my nausea worse and folic acid works just the same!!!
Avatar f tn Ihave taking prenantal multi DHA 200mg for pregnant and nursing mom. I dont know is it the right one for me.When i first took it i couldnt see out of my eyes for a week or two.What can i take to help me to get pregnant? In that it had 800mg of folic acid.
1192727 tn?1282735542 It is found in cold water fatty fish and fish oil supplements, along with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Vegetarian sources of DHA come from seaweed. DHA is essential for the proper functioning of our brains as adults, and for the development of our nervous system and visual abilities during the first 6 months of life. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids are part of a healthy diet that helps lower risk of heart disease.
Avatar f tn She said I am allergic to either DHA or iron. So I called the OB to ask what I should be taking. Can they write me a scrip. The the asstant told me. She didn't want to waste a scrip if I could take it again!!! And that I should just go to the pharmacy and pic a new one!!!!
Avatar m tn No more deportation for Hepatitis and TB carriers Khaleej Times (KT) reports 12 August 2010 that the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) website no longer includes Tuberculosis and Hepatitis B or C as deportable conditions for foreigners under the medical fitness rules, except for some worker categories.
Avatar f tn I take prescription prenatal with dha.. but with my first pregnancy I took Stuart prenatal over the counter from walgreens.
6797455 tn?1391513860 m trying my best. I take prenatal vitamins that have folic acid and dha in them.
Avatar f tn Centrium prenatal- has the multi and dha. And nature valley with dha. Definitely get something with dha so important baby's brain development!
Avatar f tn During my second pregnancy the pills were too much for me with nausea, so I take Flinstones Complete with my oldest. He thinks its cool we are doing the same thing.
Avatar f tn Best thing to do is ask your doctor for samples. They have plenty to give away. I survived off samples & never had to purchase vitamins during or after pregnancy. Plus, there's different types of vitamins some with dha, some that don't. I prefer dha. Then there's vitamins that contain stool softeners or nausea pills. I was nasuated in my firstttrimester, so the ones with nausea pills helped a lot.

Avatar f tn First pregnancy, I'm due in a week and still not feeling pain. What can I do to speed up the Britton my baby???
Avatar f tn Nature made gummies were fine for me. I don't have an iron issue though so my doc said they were good because I get enough iron in my diet. I'm pregnant with twins too. Mine have dha as well. They are prenatals. But they are the only thing that doesn't immediately make me throw up.
Avatar f tn So I Bought prenatal pills and they don't have dha. So when I had my 1st Dr appt at 5 weeks he said buy dha prenatal so I have been taking them. I'm 20 weeks tomorrow and a few days ago I ran out so I been taking the prenatal pills without dha until I get paid. But I'm wondering is it even a big deal which pills i take since I'm out of 1st trimester?
10939157 tn?1413971264 Nestle Good Start with DHA and ARA Natural Cultures had the highest review standing. DHA and ARA are important in the promotion of immune system function, growth and development, as well as, eyes and brain. This formula topped the list, as it contains "comfort proteins," 100 percent whey protein from cow's milk. It easily breaks down during digestion and is available in powder, concentrate, and ready-to-feed preparations.
Avatar n tn What brand of prenatal vitamins is everyone using? Im using nature made with dha. Just wondering if there is one kind of prenatals that are better than another.
