Hello, does anyone have any views on taking the Pregnare Plus (with the separate Omega 3 tablets). I see that there is no conclusive research on it but I am not a big oily fish fan. I am 22 weeks pregnant. I did start taking it in the beginning of my second trimester and then I was worried that it was too much and I was not convinced on the research (I have a doctor friend that said there was no conclusive research either way and my GP said omega 3 was not on the list of things to absolutely take like folic acid and vitamin d and said she could not say 100% that there were no risks associated with taking an omega 3 supplement). What are people's thoughts on it? Advice and thoughts appreciated! Thank you

I started taking it as soon as I found out I was pregnant. Then at my booking appointment I had my bloods done which came back with high levels of iron which is dangerous! So I stopped taking them as I didn't want to add more iron and just stuck to folic acid and my iron levels have come down since stopping. I'm now 21 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child (5th pregnancy though so relief to have made it this far & it's a boy after having my daughter 7 years ago :))
