Mother Talkers: Comments Eating Fish During Pregnancy

Fish oil (0 / 0)

It can also be contaminated from mercury, so it means we have to read labels. Some brands at Whole Foods and the like specifically mention that the fish were not contaminated.

  odorless Omega-3s. You're not the only one that doesn't enjoy that fishy aftertaste, especially in the a.m. Yuck.
