prenatal Omega-3 pills on Netrition

bebamom · 10-10-2005, 09:21 AM

Has anyone used these or Coromega or anything like this? I am just curious, because I read an article or two stating that fish oil is good for you , but you have to be careful about most of the fish out there (because of the toxins and mercury) Any opinions or advice? My DH and I are thinking about having another baby pretty soon and I was doing some research. ty in advance

I have not tried them, but that is so cool they are finally doing that! You can also get the same Omega benefits from flax seed and flax oil too! The fish oil pills are just fine though, they can tend to keep coming "back" for a few hours to let you enjoy the taste over and over again!

I have been taking ground flax seed every day for the last year or so. I was told when I got pregnant to not take so much. Not sure why. Maybe the same properties in flax that ease PMS symptoms are not a great idea while pg...?

I haven't yet tried the fish oil from netrition that you mentioned, but am very interested in that as well. I did ask my midwife if she thought it was ok. She said yes after the first trimester.

Good Luck!

Look for the enteric coated fish oil capsules -- they dissolve in the intestines, not the stomach, so you don't get "fish burps" or have it coming back on you.

I got the okay from my doc to take fish pills while pregnant, and am continuing now that I'm nursing.
