i have been taking flax seed since before i was pregnant and thruout pregnancy. i have never been cautioned not to take it by a doctor. there is a purified fish oil shell with strawberry flavoring that i found on amazon.com and it does NOT taste fishy, i can’t do the fish oil capsules either because they make my breath taste like fish and i don’t eat fish etiher. do a search on amazon.com for “dha” i reckon it was and i forget the brand but it is strawberry flavored purified fish oil if you don’t want to take flax. it’s a white bottle with 90 capsules but two capsules is the daily serving so it’s just a 45 day supply. but i have been taking organic flax for nearly a year now.
Flaxseed oil is ok to have during pregnancy.
You can even rub it on your belly as it grows. Along with drinking lots of water, the oil keeps things nice and double-jointed so you don’t get crazy stretch marks!
