A member asked:
Is it okay to take a fish oil supplement daily while pregnant? can it cause birth defect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: This contains nutrients actually accumulated by the infants brain for proper development during pregnancy. There are no controlled studies available but populations that consume more of this in their usual diet are not subject to higher rates of birth defects.
