When is best to start taking Mum Omega oil capsules?

I have MumOmega fish oil capsules that I have been told should be taken in 3rd trimester for baby's brain development.

Are you not supposed to take it in 1st/2nd trimesters?

It's quite expensive so I don't want to take them if they're not going to be effective until 3rd trimester

Thanks

I think your ok to take them throughout. I've got them as part of the mum to be multi vits. I told my midwife what I was taking and she wasn't concerned.

If you can stomach them! Maybe after your first trimester when stomach acid settles! I took them when I was 8 weeks and chucked them up every time! Planning on taking them again when my bodies settled down a little!

Thanks for that.
Good point about not being able to keep them down - and I bet they don't taste good on the way back up!

Hi - I think you should take them from about 4 months onwards

You have to take them in the morning, (I learnt that the hard way) as they really repeat on you. You need to take them with galons of water and food! There discusting!!saying that, the things we do for our babies! I will try them again only in a few weeks! Good luck x x how far gone are you tamashii?

What are they good for? And are there any risks in taking them?

Brain development. And the propper peg ones are fine. But done beat yourself up over if you don't have them then were not going to have intelligent children, my mum never had them with us, and I'm ok (can't spell for toffee) lol!
