It will provide you and your developing baby with the essential nitrients. Personally I use garden of life prenatals. You need to take a DHA supplement as well for your babies brain and nervous system development. One good option is Nordic naturals prenatal DHA.
I like nature made with DHA but I don't think the brand is very important I just bought Safeway brand with DHA it has 2 pills system and it was way more affordable.
I take a food based vitamin. You can take them on empty stomach and they have never made me sick. They are a little spend but I find its worth it for my baby.
DHA is Chain Amino Fatty Acids - Healthy Oil/Fat that support brain growth and function. AKA Omega 3 and Omega 6.
Eat Fish, Eat Foods That Have as Additive...."Smart Balance" butter, peanut butter......Take Fish Oil Pills/vitamins...Barleans Orange Omefa supplement is an orange flavored cream tgat is tasty and can be added to smmothies...
Thanks dearies
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.
I forgot to take my prenatal vitamins last night and I had my first day free of nausea. The minute I took the pills this evening I went back to my nausea and morning sickness.
Anyone have recommendations for super sensitive mamas?
The brand I'm taking is Rainbow Light Prenatal One.
I am on a presciption prenatal, presciption folic acid supplement, was told to take 4 1000mg pills of fish oil daily. Fish oil is high in EPA and DHA... both aid in brain and neurological development. But, if you do take fish oil... is MUST be Norwegian salmon oil and have a statement on the label that says it has been regularly tested using AOAC protocols.
Not all fish oil is good...
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?
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!
I was told if I take them I also have to supplement iron &' a little more dha as well as calcium, but I do prefer them to pills because I can't take pills too well
Yeah you need to take them now, women take thembefore they fall pregnant if ttc, but if unplanned you should take them as soon as you find out
ve been taking folic acid, vit D and iron separately on my own but was given a supplement that had the 3 in one... I was wondering whether the prenatal wasn't meant to contain more vitamins and minerals? What are you guys taking at the moment?
My doctor is big on dha. I take preferaOB ONE they have pre/post-natal Nutritional Supplement+DHA they're pretty good but its prescribed without insure they cost $123.00 :/. They also sell milk with DHA its pretty good but expensive.
Plenty of folic acid, iron, some calcium though I take a supplement just in case, a good dose of DHA which is good for brain development. Pills are a little big, so if you have a lot of morning sickness might not work for you, but mine was pretty mild so I do okay getting them down with a lot of water.
Hello and thanks for this service! Is it more beneficial to take an "omega 3 EPA & DHA fish oil supplement" or an "omega 3, 6 &9 EPA & DHA fish oil supplement"? I'm a bit confused as to which would be of the optimum benefit to purchase. Thanks for your time and expertise!
