Hi,
I am from january board. I started to take prenatal vitamin (elevit)3months before I got pregnant, I took it for 6 months and noticed that it didn' t have omega3 which is good for baby' s brain development. I am not a vagatarian but I still take vitamins which contains omega3 and my doctor agreed with me. I swicthed to blackmores prenatal vitamins and it has omega3.You can buy these vitamins from Coles supermarket:-)It' s called blackmores pregnancy and breast feeding GOLD.

I am also taking elevit.My doctor strictly told me not to make my vitamin intake complicated by taking any omega 3 supplements.So I am still trying to figure out whether to neglect her advice or just follow her completely.

Omega3 fatty acids are present in flax seeds/organic eggs too. Try taking them if you take eggs. I am a vegetarian too but take organic eggs, so I don' t take capsules.

Flax seed is available in health stores. Ask the doctor for the strength for omega3 tablet and buy a natural brand(or ask doctor to recommend a brand) and take it. It is safe and good for the baby. Good Luck.

donot take omega 3 without med guidence
it is help full but the wrong one can cause irreversible damage
there are many types where they are obtained like liver or oil of the fish
and only a med predson will be able to say which one is needed by u
also though our body doesnot produce this and we take it from outside without meds we should never take it spcly during preg
so if u feel the requirement take a second opinion...and then only go ahead
