I really didn't hear much about DHA when I was pregnant with my first and the more research I do, the more important I am seeing that it is. So is anyone taking a supplement now or are you planning to? I know I have seen the Expecta supplement, but it seems kind of pricey, at least for us and especially since we're not pg yet. I was thinking of just taking a good quality fish oil supplement. Anyone else?

Are you taking one? What are you taking?

I use the one a day brand that comes with the prenatal vitamins. I get them at Tartget and they are priced similar to Expecta, but they also come with a months worth of prenatal vitamins.

I'm taking a prenatals with DHA. It''s a little more than regular prenatals...but since my doctor recommended it then I will pay the extra. I use the Walgreens version and that helps cut the cost.

I cant find any prenatals with DHA where I Live...boooo for small towns! but I found a really awesome looking DHA/Prenatal online... http://www.promiseprenatal.com/promisedha.html

I'm not sure about their prenatal vitamins yet - need to do more research first, but I'm definitely ordering the DHA.

I can't find prenatals with DHA here... small town. bah. I did find some DHA supplements online though that look really good! I'm going to order them for sure. I'm not quite sold on the prenatal vitamins this company offers, but I'm still researching. Definitely ordering the DHA though

With DD, I was told by doc to just take fish oil. So I've taken that for the last couple of years along with my prenatal.
