How many of you took vitamins w/DHA?

[beanlee]

Im 27+2 so i guess its a little late??!! But my doc never told me it was essential even when i brought my prenatals to my appt & asked. Just curious of what others thought now after reading an article on DHA. Am i doing 'harm' for not taking it? I take the target brand prenatals & i eat a pretty healthy diet.
Thanks!

I take an omega 3 with dha pill from the jamieson brand. Along with 4 folic acid pills and a multivitamin. I haven't noticed any bad side effects from the pills but I was told to take them after dinner so just in case I did it would be while I was sleeping and not so bad.

I was taking it but it made me feel sick. Ugh just even thinking about it makes me want to throw up!

Thank you! I have appt Monday so will ask again. The article said the last 3 months are 'most crucial' for brain development. And well that's where Im at.
And i couldn't take the prescription ones- they were too big! Hate horse pills :/

I just take the prenatals that my ob prescribes to me!

I take 200 mg a day but recently stopped taking my prenatals and are switching to organic ones because of studies I've read. There are a lot of foods that carry it so I'm sure u have been providing your body with it without even knowing. I would just go get some if u want but wouldn't worry about it many woman don't take it.. or their prenatals and their babies r fine! Just eat healthy :)
