Fish oil and dha

What are your thoughts on taking fish oil or dha supplements through the third trimester for brain development? I'm thinking of doing it, I need to speak with my OB first, but I want some opinions :) Thanks!

My pre natal came with a bottle of the omega / dha.  Completely safe and i have been on them since I found out at 5 weeks and now 22 weeks. It's recommended

I wanted to take a prenatal with the dha in it but I needed special prenatals for constipation. I buy special supplements during breastfeeding for brain development and after a year old I buy supplements that you put in yogurt that are for brain development. Hopefully they make up for me not taking it during pregnancy. I normally do all three if I remember. I was super excited with this baby because I remembered to take my prenatals for about 5-6 months before I got pregnant and I was going to go buy the best prenatal then found out I needed prenatal with a stool softener.

I take prenatals and fish oil my whole pregnancy. Nothing wrong with it.
