Having a PCOS history made me super cautious about what supplements I take, as every body is different. My doctor told me to take 200mg of DHA daily during my pregnancy, but please check with your own gynac for what fits your blood reports.
Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to be very careful with my diet and supplements. My doctor told me the exact dosage of DHA/EPA based on my sugar levels and diet, so I highly recommend asking your doctor instead of deciding yourself.
DHA and EPA are excellent for the baby's brain and eyes. My doctor told me to take a specific prenatal supplement with DHA, and I also kept up my light daily walks which she allowed. Do consult your gynac to get the safest prescription for you.
We tried to save on expensive premium supplements, so I asked my doctor for a budget-friendly but effective DHA brand. My doctor told me the exact daily requirement and prescribed a very affordable tablet, which helped us manage our monthly medical bills easily.
I am planning to conceive soon and my doctor told me that getting enough Omega-3 is really good for baby's brain development. She suggested I get it through walnuts and chia seeds for now, but please ask your doctor for the exact supplement dosage.
Uff, my doctor told me to take these huge fish oil capsules for DHA and swallowing them with third-trimester nausea is a real workout! Definitely ask your doctor for the right brand and dosage so you don't end up struggling like me.
