O.K. to take: Recommendations come from panels of experts, who after review of the literature decide, whether or not to make a specific recommendation. "Literature" are publications of scientific research studies that have examined, for example, the benefit of taking fish oil. If taking fish oil and osteocare would be a recommendation, your doctor would have prescribed these medications. You may still take both

OK to take fish oil: Fish oil made from the body of the fish is high in Omega-3. Some research suggests that it is beneficial during pregnancy. More research is needed. Supplements made from the liver of fish such as cod-liver oil are not safe in pregnancy. Best wishes!
