I am half-way through my pregnancy. Is it ok to take the high amount of fish oil recommended in your book while pregnant? thanks!

Check with your obstetrician. And stop taking fish oil two weeks before your due date. And if you do decide to take it, only take the very highest quality, either the Minami or Sears OmegaRx brand.

Thanks for the input. I'll let you know what she says in a few weeks. Just out of curiosity, why do I stop 2 weeks before the due date???

Fish oil, particularly at the high doses I recommend, thins the blood. Similar to taking aspirin. You want a very good clotting for surgery or giving birth, that's why people on aspirin therapy stop taking it before their surgery time.
