When you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, your requirements for Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) increase. During pregnancy, the Omega 3’s travel through your placenta and support the growth of the baby’s brain, eyes, nervous system and tissues.
The most critical time for healthy brain development occurs during the third trimester and the first two years after birth, so supplementing all throughout pregnancy and after the baby is born is critical. Omega 3’s continue to support baby’s development and immune system and can also help contribute mom’s healthy postpartum mood and well being. Even if you aren’t breastfeeding, it’s a good idea to continue to take it after birth as deficiency in EFAs has been associated with postpartum depression.
A significant amount of good quality Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) can be obtained from your diet if you are regularly consuming about 5oz of high-quality fatty fish per week. However, the reality is that many women just don’t (or don’t want to – hello first trimester nausea and food aversions!). Additionally, when you are consuming your Omega 3’s through diet, it’s important to be aware of the source of your fish, how it was raised and the likelihood of heavy metal contamination.
Starting a proper supplement protocol long before you get that exciting blue line or flashing + is ideal to ensure the baby is off to the best start possible!
