When taking anything during pregnancy, it’s very important to consult with a physician and multiple qualified resources. This site is not a qualified resource. This is just relaying information found from other places. But I did find some great information about the benefits of fish oil during pregnancy. Fish oil’s benefits during pregnancy are great and immense.  DHA, fish oil, when taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding mothers may reduce the body mass index of infants.  And fish oil is shown to help with immune system for infants.

In my opinion, lots more research is needed for how fish oil affects pregnant mothers and infants. Studies, thus far, have shown that immune system is aided and the body mass index of infants is reduced. Scientists are still researching how fish oil may affect unborn babies, inparticular their growth. Thus far, supplements of fish oil have not affected babies head size.  What does all of this mean? Should you take fish oil if you’re preganant? I think it’s far too early to risk ingestion. But if you’re just breastfeeding then you mgith feel it’s okay to take fish oil. And it might be, but maybe it’s best to abstain from fish oil while breastfeeding? I’m not sure. The benefits of fish oil during pregnancy is something that all scientists have been working round the clock on to try and understand better. Better as in is it healthy? Fish oil, that is. For pregnant women or those breastfeeding. In the end, be careful.  That’s what’s important.
