For many women who are going through pregnancy it's obviously a busy time, with many things to consider.
Of course, the health of the baby is paramount and recent researchers have reached some interesting conclusions on the subject of omega3 supplements and babies health.
The data surrounding pregnancy and fish oil has been quite thought provoking and if you're pregnant or know anyone who is, it makes for intriguing reading.
It demonstrates that by taking these supplements, especially well before the birth of the child, it could influence such things as the birth weight, whether the child develops allergies and even type 1 diabetes.
Plus, even the mums to be get a look in as they've been shown to reduce high blood pressure and to ease post natal depression.
Even in early infancy the benefits seem to continue as one Australian study concluded that by taking other variables into consideration, the group of women who took a daily dosage of fish oils whilst pregnant, had toddlers with better eye-hand coordination.
These sound like quite dramatic claims, but even many experts in health care are telling us we no longer eat enough of a proper daily diet which contains sufficient amount of omega 3 fatty acids, which are considered essential for our well being, including our brain and heart health.
Perhaps those that have scoffed at the healthy benefits of pregnancy and fish oil should re think their dietary approach in the light of such new claims.
Of course, take the proper precautions and steps in ensuring you're not taking something you shouldn't, by asking your doctor.
However, these are looked upon as a dietary supplement not as medicines.
