Are there risks to pregnancy taking choline supplements?
Saw choline being recommended a lot online for baby's brain development and im thinking of adding it. But before i start anything new in my 2nd trimester i want to be sure its safe. Anyone took choline supplements during pregnancy, any side effects?
I never added any supplement on my own during pregnancy, even the good ones. Please run the choline dose past your gynac before taking it. More is not always better with supplements, your doctor will set the safe limit.
My doctor actually said choline is important for the baby's brain development and many prenatal vitamins now include it. The point is to stick to the recommended amount, not megadose. Show your supplement to your gynac so they can confirm the dose is right for you.
From what I understand choline in normal supplement doses is considered beneficial, not risky. The concern is only with very high random doses. Best to let your doctor decide the amount rather than self prescribing extra.
