How Taking Fish Oil During Pregnancy Can Greatly Improve the Development of your Baby

Came across an interetsing article in net

All the research currently available points to the fact that if you take a quality fish oil during pregnancy, you can reduce the risk of premature birth and improve your baby's IQ. The key is to select a safe and effective omega 3 oil.
The benefits of taking fish oil during pregnancy for the mother are a healthier overall pregnancy, a reduced risk of premature birth and a reduced risk of post natal depression.
When it comes to the baby, benefits range from improved hand-eye coordination and higher IQ to better comprehension and an improved vocabulary. When you realize that 70% of a new born baby's brain and nervous system are composed of the omega 3 fats, DHA and EPA, it comes as no surprise how vital they are!
We cannot make these omega 3's ourselves so they must come from our diet which is difficult as the main source, oily fish, is restricted to one portion a week due to the contaminants.
The two main omega 3 fatty acids are DHA and EPA, but it is the DHA that is responsible for most of the benefits and any supplement should have a higher amount of these, at least twice that of EPA.
I would recommend at least 250mg of DHA per capsule or soft gel to get the most from them, with two a day being the standard dose for fish oil during pregnancy.
It is absolutely essential to make sure any supplement you take has undergone molecular distillation to remove all the toxins like mercury and to leave only safe pure oil.

Now you know the many important benefits of taking fish oil during pregnancy and how to select the best, why not make a point of including them in your daily routine.
