Omega 3 Fish Oil Supplements During Pregnancy

By Moss Greene

Omega 3 fish oil supplements during pregnancy are necessary for a healthy baby.

Studies show fish oil with EPA and DHA during pregnancy contributes significantly to the baby’s nervous system and brain development and to better health for both mother and child.

The EPA and DHA in cold water fatty fish plays such a vital role in fetus development that many experts recommend pregnant women get at least 900mgs a day.

The Reality of Fish Oil Supplements During Pregnancy

Scientists believe the EPA and DHA found in fish and fish oil supplements can help even before conception. Women need omega 3 oils to produce healthy eggs and men need them for the production, energy, strength and mobility of their sperm.

EPA and DHA make up nearly 70% of a newborn baby’s brain, retina and nervous system. A deficiency is also linked to the risk of premature births and abnormally low birth weights.

Among pregnant women, only 2% had diets that met their needs. This deficiency is blamed on the depletion of omega 3 oils in our food, the concern over mercury in some fish and the trend against eating oil rich fish, such as salmon.

A Lack of Fish Oil EPA and DHA During Pregnancy

Not getting enough of these essential oils can also put the mother at risk for both pre-eclampsia (pregnancy-related high blood pressure) and post-partum depression.

A pregnant woman, for example, may lose as much as 3% of her own brain mass when she’s transferring EPA and DHA to her baby over the last three months of pregnancy. Women with post-partum depression have been found to have very low levels of omega 3 fatty acids in their mother’s milk and red blood cells.

To be healthy and to have healthy children, women need to eat more fatty fish and supplement their diets daily with high quality fish oil capsules containing balanced EPA and DHA.

As you can see, omega 3 fish oil supplements during pregnancy offer many benefits.

They helps to prevent pre-eclampsia and post-partum depression, while at the same time insuring that your baby gets the nutrition necessary to go full term, maintain a good body weight and to have a well developed brain and nervous system.
