Cod Liver Oil And Omega 3 Supplement

Hi, any of u here took cod live lol & omega 3 capsules during first trimester? I am in my 7th week and I just found out that cod liver oil contains high levels of the retinol form of Vitamin A which is harmful to the baby. Do u know how this may affect the baby?

I will say stop your supplements and only take those given by your gynae first. Otherwise you can bring it to your gynae and check with her/him.

I've read also that too much vitamin A supplement is not good. Better to stop it first until you confirm with your OB.

There are fish oil supplements meant for pregnant women.. Mine was supplied from gynae.. Check with your gynae first

Can check with your gynae if the supplements are appropriate.

Check with gynae is safer

Check with gynae better
