Vegetarian omega 3 supplement safe to take during pregnancy

[user1478187907]

Hi

I have just found out I am 5 weeks pregnant and over the moon although keeping it under wraps until I reach the 12 week scan. I am vegetarian and don't eat fish. I am taking pregnacare original tablets every day and not pregnacare plus (as the omega 3 contains fish oil) - can anyone please recommend a supplement I can take that is suitable for vegetarians and contains a safe amount during pregnancy? Thanks

I took these through 2 pregnancies opti3omega.com/

Congratulations!

The same company sells vitamin d3 sprays that you can give to your baby. I can't for the moment remember where most vitamin D comes from but it's not vegetarian.

vitamin d comes from either lanolin which is vegetarian or d2 made from yeast and vegan. I used pregnacare original with no problems.

I took the algae based omega 3 tablets from Holland and Barrett. They come in a brown resealable envelope type packet.

Oh sorry! If it's the lanolin one the issue is that some people prefer to avoid products derived from lanolin because of concerns about toxins from the products used to treat sheep against lice etc. Same reason that some people prefer to avoid Lansinoh and other lanolin containing nipple creams.

Thanks all

Does anyone know if these are ok to take?

LilQueenie You can get vegan D3 too.
