Fish Oil & Pregnancy

Take multi vitamins, don’t take multi vitamins. Take fish oil, don’t take fish oil….

Getting pregnant and being pregnant can be a time of excitement but also a time of confusion and feeling overwhelmed. There are so many articles and experts out there telling women what they should and shouldn’t be doing while trying to conceive or once you have fallen pregnant.

One of the most researched and asked topics surrounding pregnancy is what women should take during the pregnancy process. There are so many supplements out there claiming prevention of diseases to increasing IQ with much speculation. One of the supplements amongst the controversy is fish oil and whether it is safe or not to consume before and during conception.

Fish oil tablets can either be beneficial or detrimental to your health depending on what sort of fish oil you take… so I found out! There are numerous brands on the market I just assumed that all where good for you. I was wrong and chances are you are too. It is important to do your homework on what you need to look out for. After reading “What your doctor never told you about fish oil” I was much more aware of what I need to be aware of.

Some fish oil tablets contain mercury- this is dangerous especially during pregnancy. Fish containing mercury is found in oceans, lakes and streams that have been contaminated from common industrial processes and polluted with mercury. Mercury and pollutants become deposited in the fish with larger fish containing more due to their digestive system.

Pregnant women are advised to avoid fish known to have high levels of mercury. Mercury crossed the placenta and goes straight to the brain and nervous system. This has been shown to damage the nervous system of a developed foetus causing them to suffer from sensory impairment such as vision, hearing and speech.

While there is a downside there is also a major plus. Fish oil tablets contain DHA and EPA which are essential fatty acids. Scientist and medical professionals all agree that these essential nutrients are needed to ensure a healthy balance and also are linked to preventing medical problems.

It is a shame I have to be so brief as there is so much to talk about that I have not even mentioned! Like anything to do with your health it is important to be educated on what you are taking, it’s benefits and disadvantages. Once you feel you have enough information then you make a decision.
