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?
I found them at target and had a pharmacy tech help me make sure they had everything I needed in th He was the knowledgeable and I bought them. In the next week and a half, my nausea was almost gone completely and after that I never had it again. They're called Rainbow Light "prenatal one" and they're actually a food based, vegan and gluten free prenatal pill. I'm not a vegan but they've been pretty good. $10 a bottle for 50 pills.
Patients with documented CHD should consume about 1 g of EPA+DHA per day, preferably from fatty fish. EPA+DHA in capsule form could be considered in consultation with the physician.
3. Patients who need to lower triglycerides should consume 2 to 4 grams of EPA+DHA per day provided as capsules under a physician’s care.
t eat seafood. They have 240mg of DHA and 360mg of EPA in 2 capsules. My doctor told me to take them, but online I've been finding that the fish oil and other things in the over the counter supplements may be bad during pregnancy. The pharmacist told me to stop taking them and check with my Dr but my Dr told me to take them. Just wondering if anyone else is taking extra Omega 3 Fatty acids, and if so, what kind?
This is my third baby and I've had the same issue every time. Can't do pills, chewables leave that chalky taste in my mouth, and the gummies don't seem to have enough nutrients in them...any suggestions?
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.
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.
I dont think mine have dha in them. I take the target generic brand prenatals with this pregnancy and did with my son and he is a happy healthy almost 3 yr old. My original obgyn with my son said any prenatal is fine and my 2nd with this pregnancy agreed but when I had an appt with a midwife she told me only dha prenatals and I needed a natural brand. Who knows?!
I take the gummies because they have dha for the babies brain but you have to take an iron supplement with them because they don't have iron in them .
