DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid that is critical for fetal brain and eye development. Pregnant women are often advised to consume DHA through fish oil supplements or fatty fish like salmon and sardines. The recommended daily intake of DHA during pregnancy is about 200-300 mg. Omega-3 fatty acids can also help reduce the risk of preterm birth and support overall maternal health. It’s important to choose high-quality supplements that are free from contaminants. Always discuss with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
