I had a doctor's appointment last week with a susbstitute docotr because my doctor was away for a afew weeks... anywho, the doctor asked what kind of prenatals I was taking and I told him Natelle and then he said I should start taking fish oil... I told him that I had got some samples packs of Expecta and I have been taking those.. and he said good ..

my samples are running low , so on the weekend I went to Walmart to see if I could find some Expecta.... I couldn't find any but I did find fish oil capules... I ended up buying them but now I am not sure if I should take them... I don't know if the Expecta ones are different from the regular fish oil ones.. :unsure: ...

I'll hypothesise that the difference between Expecta and fish-oil is basically analogous to that between Krazy-glue and first-aid surgical-glue. Same thing, in a higher-priced package.

I was thinking that but my only concern is that the dosage maybe too high... the Expecta capules are smaller then the regular fish oil capusles.. :unsure

expecta is made from a non-fish source... its made from the same thing as the lipil in the formula is made of... 300mg of DHA is recommended as daily intake for pregnant women... the expecta has 200mg... you will get some from your foods, etc...

you could order online here if you cant find it in stores... but, here is a link that you could use to locate stores near you that might have them:

good luck!

I just found out last week that I'm pregnant. I just got married. My husband is from Brazil and he's being great about it. It was unexpected. First I was upset, then I got used to the idea, but now I'm panicky. I'm worried that I'll be tied down as a mother and I'll never get to do the things I love again. (Dancing, horseback riding)

Is it normal to go through this? It makes me feel very selfish..

Feelings may be normal.

But not true that you can't do some of those again. If you can find a willing babysitter, you can certainly do horseback riding for example.
