Is it just the increase in omega 3 and if so can regular eggs have flaxseed or an omega 3 oil added and give the same benefits?

The laying hens get fed Omega3 rich foods,but to get any benefit you would have to eat a lots of eggs.

This increases the bad cholesterol intake so not a good idea to eat a lot of eggs each day , personally I take Omega3 rich fish oil capsules as that is absorbed easily and no side effects..helps with circulation,and lifts good cholesterol count…cheers

I know that pure DHA/EPA supplements are recommended the last 4 months of pregnancy but what about the 1st trimester? I am taking pure Omega 3 supplements (Pregnancy Plus brand) and TTC – Just wondering if I should just wait until the 2nd trimester if I get pregnant?

I would say if you are trying to get pregnant then start a healthy diet and take just prenatials to get your body in optimal condidtion for the little one, you should probably just stick to prenatal vitamins because they have everything you need in them.

I cannot eat seafood. I am allergic to a lot of it but I am pregnant and want to make sure I am getting the nutrients I need for my baby. I have heard Omega 3 helps brain development in your baby while pregnant. Is fish the only way to get it? Should I take an Omega 3 supplement? I am takinf a prenatal vitamin but I am not sure if it contains any Omega 3 fatty acids.

It is essential after 6 months of pregnancy. That is the time the baby will start it’s major brain developmnent. Also, I reccomend you ask your Dr to prescribe you pregvite. It has to b prescirbed by your doctor. It has all the vitamins and nutrients you need in it. It can be hard on your stomach though, especially in the morning. (It is much better than all the over the counter pregnancy pills).
