Hi everyone! I was just wondering how many of you are taking the expectra lipil supplement along with your prenatal vit. I read this oil is very helpful for the baby's brain and eye development. I started taking them and wondered if it is a good thing or not.

My best friend took it but she bought a whole bunch from the states. We live in Canada. I heard the same thing but can't find it in Canada.

DJ, Did she have any problems taking it? Is it safe? I purchased mine at Wal-Mart. I do know it is the same thing as fish oil. If you ask a pharmacy, maybe they have a fish oil in a different brand name that contains the same nutrients.

Walmart well I'll try there. She said her doctor said it was safe and I'm sure she wouldn't take it if it wasn't. She has diabetes so she is very closely monitored. Since she can't travel tot the states anymore she wanted to find some more here in Canada. How many weeks are you.

I am 10 weeks 5 days. I have 1 more scary week to wait. How far along are you? Thanks for the info on the supp. I purchased it but was waiting to hear from my doc if I should take it or not. He is on vacation this week. I'll start taking it today. I am planning on nursing so I'm hoping this will help with brain and eye development in the newborn to toddler stage also. Too bad it's not going to help with my brain. I feel so spacey lately. Although working 3 jobs, teaching catechism and driving a preschooler back and forth to school in between lunch breaks isn't helping much. LOL.
