Is Too Much Omega-3 Bad for Fetus?

It is true that excessive omega-3 intake could be bad for the fetus. In Vivo studies suggest that excessive consumption of omega-3 fatty acids during pregnancy may cause risk of low birth weight, growth impairment, higher chances of pre- and postnatal death, abnormal brain function, and abnormal eye function in babies.¹ That's why it's important to only consume the recommended amount of omega-3 fatty acids during pregnancy, which is 650 milligrams per day.² Moreover, if you're concerned that your pregnancy diet may contain excessive amounts of omega-3, it's best to talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian. They can help you assess your diet and determine if you need to make any changes.
