Common Questions and Answers about Dha pregnancy recommended dose

dha

Avatar m tn That's not a high dose, but the above is correct in noting that not all fish oil is created equal.
Avatar f tn The ada recommended dose for pregnant women is 600mg. There is no need to try to aim for the highest as long as you are meeting that threshold. It is a water soluable vitamin amd you will only pee out any excess anyway.
Avatar f tn Wow yeah you should definitely get a prenatal. Folic acid is good, but there may be other nutrients the baby needs he may not be getting from that particular pill. If you're looking for a specific brand, I use Brainstrong, which includes DHA (good for their little brain development), but most of the major prenatal vitamins will give you what they need.
Avatar f tn oceans mom) ? Cause I have organic prenatal plus I take the dha vitamins. But it doesn't state it's a prenatal.
1192727 tn?1282735542 Fish oil capsules contain both DHA and EPA. Supplements containing EPA may not be recommended for infants or small children because they upset the balance between DHA and EPA during early development. Pregnant women should talk to their doctor before taking fish oil supplements. Fish oil capsules may cause minor side effects, such as loose stools, abdominal discomfort, and belching. In addition, they may prolong bleeding time slightly.
Avatar f tn What are your thoughts on taking fish oil or dha supplements through the third trimester for brain development? I'm thinking of doing it, I need to speak with my OB first, but I want some opinions :) Thanks!
Avatar f tn I have been taking One A Day Prenatal which were recommended to me. I was told they are one of the best.
Avatar f tn i don't remember my research on this fully, but i do recall that plant derived ALA's are not biologically equivalent to marine derived DHA. i take fish oil supplementation for DHA. the only concern there is impurities like mercury present in the fish oil - there are brands that make DHA capsules that have been purified for this purpose. some brands will even go as far to source their oils from the purest fish and highest standards, so that purification isn't even necessary.
Avatar f tn s high quantity of EPA and DHA. DHA in particular is essential for proper brain function. Some people do feel lessened depression with a high dose of fish oil daily. I don't know about anxiety. Make sure you buy one from a good company that uses clean fish; I prefer Nordic Naturals. However, by itself, I don't think it will solve your problem; natural remedies are usually used in combination. Good luck.
Avatar f tn I'm taking DHA per my Dr bc he asked me was I going to breastfeed and I told him yes!
5627474 tn?1374148775 She thought it would be benificial in early pregnancy. Between the progesterone, prenatals, vitamin d, dha, asprin and calcium suppliments. Something worked. My 27 weeks now and I'm wondering if I should stop the asprin regamin now?
674725 tn?1367439630 Thank you thank you thank you for giving me hope ! Its so good to hear from people who've "been there, done ( or doing ) that". I love this forum. I know I should be positive but, deep down I'm afraid of allowing myself to hope that maybe that's all I need - baby aspirin.. I can't help but worry that it could be so simple a solution and there must be some sort of "fine print" I should be on the watch for. I'm suspicious if things seem too easy.

Avatar f tn So i visited a friend today and she looked at my prenatal vitamins that i had with me and was surprised they didn't have dha in them. She gave me some dha vitamins and recommended that i take them and continue to do so. My dr didn't mention dha. Am i alone in this?
Avatar f tn t feel as though the ones my doctor prescribed me are good enough and have talked 2 a friend of the family whose a doctor and recommended something else. Of course I have to make sure its ok with my doctor first but she's always so busy, taking sometime 4 her to get back to me. So yeah what vitamins are you taking? How are they working for you?
961574 tn?1520648103 Trimedisyn is a product that is at the top of my list for prenatal vitamins and is the prenatal vitamin I had my wife use during her pregnancy. Trimedisyn contains the right proportions of ingredients needed to give you and your baby the minerals and vitamins necessary for a healthy pregnancy. No corners were cut when making this product. Trimedisyn contains a number of very effective ingredients that have been clinically proven to help the mother and baby during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn The problem with cod liver oil is that it has a higher amount of vitamin A than recommended for pregnancy. Vitamin A can cause birth defects if you take too much of it, and liver (including cod liver) is extremely high in vitamin A. You probably didn't harm your baby only taking it those few times, and of course getting too much vitamin A is not a guarantee for birth defects, it just really increases the chance.
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!
1109996 tn?1267012897 I use the ones from GNC for $20 a month. They have a lot of extra stuff, to include an extra pill for calcium and another one for DHA. I've done all the research and DHA is really good for the baby. I didn't use the ones the doctor prescribed me at first because the iron was too high and I was already sick enough. He told me to take Flinstones. Once I got off the Flinstones, I went with the GNC ones. I told him about it and he actually recommended I stayed with them.
Avatar f tn My Dr. recommended 2mg of folic acid and 400mg of DHA other wise it has no effect and it's not worth taking. My Prenatals only have 228mg of DHA.
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.
8171031 tn?1399327634 I have a terrible diet and tried time and time again to change it, but the healthy stuff just isnt fatty enough to help me put on weight (pre pregnancy I was 114 and now I am 121, 8 lbs behind) Is it bad to take two or one and a half prenatal pills? I take generic cvs pills and no fish oil because I throw it right back up. But would it hurt to take two or one and a half instead of one?
