What are the main sources of DHA supplements, what is the ideal weight gain during pregnancy, and can excessive weight gain cause complications during delivery?
The main sources of DHA supplements are fish oil and microalgae oil (a great vegetarian option). For a healthy pre-pregnancy weight, the ideal weight gain is typically between 25-35 pounds (11.5 to 16 kg), though this varies based on your pre-pregnancy BMI. Gaining more weight than recommended can sometimes increase the chance of having a larger baby, which might make a C-section or assisted delivery more likely. However, these are highly manageable, and your doctor will monitor you closely to support a safe, healthy delivery. Do discuss your personal weight targets at your next visit!
