Look, there is no need to count every single milligram of EPA yourself. Your prenatal vitamins usually have the right amount already. Just talk to your doctor and they will tell you if you need extra fish oil or veg supplements based on your diet.
I know you want to do absolutely everything perfect for your baby right now, I felt the exact same way. Regarding EPA and Omega-3, my doctor prescribed a safe prenatal supplement for me. Don't stress too much about the exact milligrams, just trust your doctor's prescription.
Actually yaar, EPA and DHA levels are very specific for each person. I used to eat walnuts and flaxseeds, but my gynac gave me a specific fish oil capsule. Don't take random doses from Google, just ask your doctor in the next clinic visit.
Honestly, I am also planning to conceive soon and was reading about EPA and DHA for baby's brain development! It is so confusing with all the different brands online. Are you planning to get the dose from food like fish or chia seeds, or did your gynac prescribe a supplement?
Beta, don't worry too much about these technical terms like EPA. Usually, a healthy diet with walnuts and green veggies along with your doctor's prescribed prenatal pills is more than enough. Just share your daily diet with your doctor, and let them decide the right dosage for you.
Hamare yahan toh doctor didi ne bola tha ki ghee, akhrot aur badam khao, usse sab badhiya hota hai. Baki agar koi alag capsule chahiye toh doctor se pooch ke hi lena chahiye. Apne man se koi bhi dawa mat shuru karna, acche se dhyan rakho apna.
