6 weeks pregnant and have been taking cod liver oil daily

[bytheby]

I've only just realised I shouldn't be taking this. I feel scared, stupid and guilty...

Any words of wisdom?

It’s only been a few weeks so I would say you’re probably fine? And it probably would need to be a lot to cause harm but I’m no expert.

I actually only found out about this recently and panicked because I take omega 3 capsules. But then I realised they are allowed!

It’s a minefield 😅

I'm so confused - I have been googling frantically and now I am in a frenzy @Cafeaulait27

Looking at the bottle it is actually called 'Omega 3 fish oil' (I just assumed it was cod liver because that is what I have always taken). So might it be ok?

The possible issue is the level of vitamin A. What is the level given on the label?

Thank you @ThanksItHasPockets

It has no reference to vitamin A.
It says...
Fish Body Oil 1000mg
Providing EPA & DHA 250mg

I'm sorry if I am being ridiculous - thank you for your help

Don’t panic, OP. It looks like they aren’t cod liver oil capsules. Compare them to the omega-3 capsules which come with pregnacare plus and they are pretty similar: www.boots.com/vitabiotics-pregnacare-plus-omega-3-dual-pack-2-x-28-10061256

Thank you kind @Cafeaulait27 @ThanksItHasPockets my mind is now much more at rest.

Yeah it is really confusing. Omega 3/fish body oil is fine, but cod liver oil is not. So you should be all good.

I feel like this isn’t made clear enough, the label on my omega 3 capsules doesn’t make it that clear xx
