My gynac added a DHA supplement along with my other tablets this visit. I just take whatever she gives but I like to understand why im taking it na. Why is it such a big deal in pregnancy?
It mainly helps the baby's brain and eye development, which is why doctors often recommend it. I took it as part of my prenatal supplements. Best to take the dose your doctor advises rather than buying random ones.
My doctor told me DHA is an omega 3 that supports the baby's brain and eye development. She added it to my supplements in the later months. Fish, walnuts and flaxseed are natural sources too, but follow whatever your gynac prescribes.
DHA is great for the baby's brain growth, so I made sure to include walnuts and flaxseed in my diet. My doctor also gave a supplement with it. Good fats are so important during these months.
