You should also avoid king mackerel as well as other large, predatory ocean fish to prevent mercury exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pregnant women often have food aversions, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. For other reasons, it can be difficult to include sources of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet.

You can consult your doctor to figure out the best amount of omega-3 fatty acids for you and the best way to get it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing to think about is the amount of DHA that\u2019s naturally present in food sources. Many of these foods don\u2019t offer enough of this nutrient to satisfy the daily required intake. There are certain kinds of fish that offer more than the recommended amount, but may not be accessible to many.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can check out which kinds of fish and shellfish are available to you and are safe for you to eat. You can then ask your doctor if you still need to supplement your diet.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a wide variety of reasons, many mothers struggle to have a good and balanced diet that has all the nutrients they need to support their baby\u2019s growth.

If you\u2019ve been prescribed medication like metformin, make sure that you speak with your OBGYN about taking supplements. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-68cbba1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"68cbba1\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f5a7186\" data-id=\"f5a7186\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca7c41e elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"ca7c41e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"For_vegans_and_vegetarians\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44d8f3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"44d8f3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">For vegans and vegetarians<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b162058 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b162058\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1782d17\" data-id=\"1782d17\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43abb5c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43abb5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of the sources of DHA and other omega-3 fatty acids are animal-based. If you intend to take supplements, make sure to check the label to see what the source of the supplement is. A lot of the supplements on the market are derived from fish oil, so it can be more difficult for vegans and vegetarians to find plant-based sources of this nutrient.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, that doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s impossible. There are some plant-based DHA supplements on the market, likely derived from algae. These are vegan-safe and don\u2019t contain fish oil. However, make sure that you still check the label to make sure that there are no animal-based ingredients.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, there are many vegan sources of the two other omega-3 fatty acids, ALA and EPA. Some of the best sources include chia seeds, walnuts, brussels sprouts, hemp seed, perilla oil, and more. These foods contain omega-3 fatty acids and also provide other important nutrients like fiber and protein.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>References<\/b><\/p><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/Omega3FattyAcids-Consumer\/<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/lpi.oregonstate.edu\/mic\/other-nutrients\/essential-fatty-acids<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/vitamins\/ai\/ingredientmono-994\/epa-eicosapentaenoic-acid<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6316227\/<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/food\/consumers\/advice-about-eating-fish<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/323144<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/tools.myfooddata.com\/nutrient-ranking-tool\/DHA\/All\/Highest\/Common\/Simple\/No<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/prenatal-dha<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/Omega3FattyAcids-HealthProfessional\/<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/heart\/news\/20090803\/daily-omega-3s-recommended-heart<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.verywellfamily.com\/should-i-take-dha-supplements-when-im-breastfeeding-431987<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.rxlist.com\/docosahexaenoic_acid\/supplements.htm<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that&#8217;s essential for human health.
