My gynac mentioned dha but didnt really tell me from which week to start. Im in second trimester now. Just want to know when you all began taking it na.
In our family, my mother-in-law insisted on eating soaked almonds daily for the baby's brain. But my doctor said adding a DHA supplement from the fourth month is very important as well. So I followed both! Always trust your doctor's prescription for these vitamins.
Actually, I was reading online that some people start taking DHA even while trying to conceive, along with folic acid. It is supposed to be very good for future brain development. But I will definitely ask my doctor first before buying any pills.
Beta, doctors log usually teesre ya chauthe mahine me ye shuru karte hain jab bacha thoda bada hone lagta hai. Maine bhi doctor ke kehne par hi shuru kiya tha. Aap bilkul chinta mat karo, doctor sahiba sab time par likh kar dengi.
Haan, generally second trimester se doctor start karwate hain na. Mere case me bhi week 14 ke baad hi shuru kiya tha doc ne. Tum apne doctor se ek baar pooch lo, vahi better bataenge.
I can only share my own experience—my doctor started my DHA capsule in the fourth month of pregnancy because I wasn't eating much fish. I just took it daily after lunch till my delivery. You should definitely see what your doctor suggests for your body.
Elders in the family always say to eat soaked almonds, but doctors usually start DHA capsules in the second trimester. Along with that, you can eat a few walnuts or almonds soaked overnight, they are also very good for the baby. But whatever capsule you take, only take the one your doctor prescribes.
My gynac prescribed DHA capsules right from the start of my second trimester, yaar. Actually, that's when the baby's brain development really picks up. Don't worry, just ask your doc in your next checkup.
Look, DHA is mostly started in the second trimester, around week 13 or 14. For both my kids, my doctor added it along with calcium and iron. Just take whatever your gynac prescribes, no need to stress or take extra over-the-counter stuff.
