Pregnancy Info HOME

I spoke with a nutritionist who is currently pregnant with her second child. She says that it is the fetus pulling Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) out of your skin to build its brain and nervous system. She reccommends taking 5 1,000mg capusles of fish oil a day to supplement this need, saying it will releive the itching and make baby smarter too since it will have all the EFA's it needs to build a good brain. She says she did this all through her first pregnancy and everything was fine and her baby's very smart for his age.
I'm 12 weeks myself and was only taking one 1,000 mg capsule. Started taking more today and will hopefully stop this maddening itching!
