Is it okay to take DHA along with prenatal vitamin during the first trimester of pregnancy?

Hi dear, yes it is extremely important that once you find out you are pregnant and start taking your prenatal vitamins, you also take your DHA supplements. Of course your doctor will guide you to it, but you can also ask the same yourself. DHA is a type of omega 3 fatty acid that is extremely important for the health of your pregnancy. If you are already trying to conceive, you could start taking DHA supplements after speaking with your doctor. The same will continue through your pregnancy and till the time you are breastfeeding. You can take a look at this article that I found quite useful http://americanpregnancy.org/first-year-of-life/omega-3-supplements-baby/

How much DHA is recommended during pregnancy?

I've read that about 300mg of DHA a day during pregnancy is recommended. You can take a daily supplement or vitamin with 200 mg of DHA and get the rest through DHA rich foods like fish.

Is it safe to lose two kilograms of weight during first trimester of pregnancy?

Influencer của TAP

Yup. Usually preggy women loose weight during their first trimester specially if they are having lots of nauseous moments. Just have regular check ups and if ok from doc, then all is ok

What are the benefits of a C-section (for the mum)?

Off the top of my head, a major benefit for a woman to go through elective c-section would be having some form of control over the birth of her baby, in an otherwise unpredictable experience. Knowing the date of your baby's birth will allow you to plan more easily for family help, work leave, and other post-baby needs. However, like everything else, there can be complications with c-section and it is not a perfect situation. Healing takes a longer time since it is surgical precision and no matter how well you planned your c-section, anything can happen and having flexible back-up plans will help.

I'm 36 weeks now. Is it normal to feel extremely tired to the extend that you'll rather choose to sleep than to do anything else? At the same time, appetite reduces too.
