More Fish Oil News

Fish oil and the fatty acids in it are the new trendy ingredient in prenatal supplements and baby formula. Eggs and yogurt are now coming with DHA (wonder what they're feeding those chickens?). But the fish oil news isn't all necessarily good: in addition to possibly causing prolonged bleeding after birth and babies with extra-large heads, it also appears to extend the length of gestation by several days.
It's probably a good idea to cut out the fish oil in the third trimester, then take supplements after the baby's born so baby will get a supply from your breastmilk.
