Fish oil mainly contains vitamins A and D, and pregnant women can take it appropriately. However, most pregnant women already take digestive linked vitamin tablets. If you are already taking linked vitamin tablets regularly, you do not need to take fish oil additionally. It is best to use it under the guidance of an obstetrician. It is recommended to pay attention to a balanced diet during pregnancy, eat more vegetables and fruits, and ensure sufficient intake of protein and other nutrients.
