I used to take Omega 3-6-9 supplements before getting pregnant for general health. Now that I'm expecting, I'm not sure if I should continue taking them. Is it safe?
With twins, I was practically made of supplements! But actually, my doc only suggested Omega 3 for their brain growth, since we already eat plenty of 6 and 9 in our daily oils. Ask your gynac for a safe brand.
For natural Omegas, you can eat soaked walnuts, flaxseeds, and chia seeds daily as a safe home remedy. But please avoid taking synthetic OTC 3-6-9 capsules directly; always consult your gynac first.
According to my doctor, Omega-3 (DHA and EPA) is crucial for fetal brain development, but we should avoid cod liver oil as it has too much Vitamin A which is harmful. She prescribed a pure algae-based Omega-3 instead.
You don't need Omega 6 and 9 supplements at all, we get enough from cooking oils. Just ask your gynaecologist for a high-quality, pregnancy-safe Omega 3 (DHA) supplement.
I totally understand wanting the absolute best nutrition for your little darling! Omega 3 is so wonderful for their development. Just make sure to consult your sweet doctor before starting any multi-omega supplements to be completely safe.
My mother suggested eating walnuts and flaxseeds for natural omega oils, which is very good. But for supplements, please trust only what your doctor prescribes. They know exactly what dose your body needs.
When I was consulting the senior doctors at our hospital, they specifically told me to only take supplements they prescribe. Some OTC 3-6-9 capsules have added vitamins that might not be safe. Check with your healthcare team.
Haan, Omega 3 toh doc khud hi likh ke dete hain starting me, baby ke dimaag ke liye acha hota hai. Par combined 3-6-9 supplements bina doctor se poochhe mat lena na, self-medication is not safe.
Honestly, taking combined 3-6-9 might be overkill. I only took Omega 3 as prescribed by my gynac. Save your energy and sleep now, because baby brain development means they will wake you up every 2 hours later anyway!
