I'm only about 5 minutes pregnant....and here's one of about a thousand questions I have. Did any of you ladies take any herbs and/or supplements once you found out you were pregnant? I've been taking royal jelly and fish oil capsules, and I've also been taking Chinese herbs in conjunction with acupuncture. I've stopped the royal jelly, but have continued the fish oil. I'm going to talk with my acupuncturist this week to ask if I should stop the herbs...just wondering what types of supplements/treatments all you mom's out there took (other than the standard prenatal vitamin) that helped you achieve a healthy baby. Thanks so much!

I just took a daily prenatal vitamin, and when I remembered, I took a DHA supplement to help with baby's eye/brain development.
Congrats on your pregnancy!

Thank you! Yes, royal jelly seems to be the questionable one because there's not been any research on its effects during pregnancy...but I must give some credit to it for helping to get me where I am I was told that I could have poor egg quality, so hopefully I popped out a strong egg that turned into the embryo inside now

Thank you! I will continue the fish oil...the one I currently take is labeled "mercury free" .... I've heard that too much mercury is the major concern with fish oil.
