    Elevit and Omega 3

    I am now 16 weeks pregnant and have been taking Elevit prior to conception and all through my pregnancy to date, I am now also taking Omega 3 supplements as I know that Elevit doesn't contain this. I asked my Ob and he says this is fine.

    I have read that Omega 3 is good for baby, especially in the third trimester, plus I don't eat enough fish! Apparently it is the DHA (rather than the EPA) that is good for baby so I chose a supplement that had more of this in it.....

    Hope this helps!

    Lisa - great to hear from you. So you weren't recommended by your ob to take it, you asked him if U could and he said its ok. Have you heard any research done on Omega3 and if it does help a lot. What brand are you buying and how much was it?

    No my Ob didn't recommend me to take it, but the reading I did on the topic indicated that it was beneficial and I wanted to check it was ok. I am taking blackmores Promega Daily I think it cost about $30 for the bottle....
