If you want to
ensure that you and your child are healthy and happy during and after
pregnancy, consistent nutritional supplementation with omega 3 fish
oils can help especially DHA.
In the area of
brain development in the fetus, neonate, and the implications this
has on the nutritional, omega 3 fatty acid, status of the mother, the
evidence clearly demonstrates that it is desirable to provide a
balance of fatty acids strongly biased towards DHA.
Studies show
that a minimum daily intake of 1,000mg of DHA fish oil and an optimum
of 2,000mg DHA fish oil per day is required during the first and
second trimesters and a minimum of 2,000mg of DHA fish oil and
optimum of 3,000mg of DHA fish oil in the third trimester of
pregnancy. Similarly, during the breast feeding period, a minimum
daily intake of DHA fish oil of 1,100mg is necessary to ensure
optimal DHA deposition into the brain and neural tissues of the
neonate. In addition, these advised DHA levels of intake during
pregnancy and lactation are also necessary to ensure that the DHA
status of the mother is not compromised a situation which is strongly
associated with increased risk of post partum depression.
Omega
3 DHA fish oil is Dr. Recommended
I strongly advise those pregnant and
nursing women who choose not to eat fish to be certain to take
supplementary omega 3 DHA fish oil. Fatty fish are high in DHA, which
is good, but they are often high in toxic metals and environmental
contaminants that are particularly damaging to babies. -John Robbins, Author

In the last month of pregnancy and first
month of neonatal life, omega 3 fish oils are rapidly incorporated
into the brain of the baby.

Omega 3 EPA DHA fish oils assist
development of the fetal brain. They prolong gestation and increase
birth weight.
Thomas Bartram, Author of Bartram’s Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine
Omega 3 EPA DHA fish oils play a particularly
crucial role in brain development of infants and children. Omega
3 EPA DHA fish oils accumulate in the fetal brain late in pregnancy,
and continue to accumulate during an infant's first few months of
life. Researchers have determined that omega 3 EPA DHA fish
oils affect intelligence in infancy and perhaps later in life.
Dr. Julian Whitaker, Author of The Memory Solution
Omega
3 EPA DHA fish oils are essential for the normal development of the
unborn baby's brain, especially during the final three months of
gestation when the size of its brain increases threefold. If the
mother fails to get enough DHA of these omega 3 fish oils in
her diet, the fetus will pirate what she has stored in her tissues
including her brain. Lab tests show that new mothers have half
the normal blood levels of omega 3 fatty acids. Women who
breast-feed their babies have even lower levels of DHA because they
are continuing to supply the baby's need for omega-3 fatty
acids. If a woman does not replenish her store of these
essential elements following the birth of a child, she will have
lower and lower levels with each additional child. Some people
suggest this is why firstborn children score higher on intelligence
tests. Until now, people have attributed the well documented mental
superiority of firstborn children to the fact they spend more one on
one time with a parent. It is now being suggested that their
greater cognitive abilities may also be due to a more generous
supply of maternal DHA.
Pregnant women can get all of the nutritional
benefits of omega 3 fish oils without taking any risks.
