Hi I am really confussed! I have just brought omega mum from boots which contains omega 3s and evening primrose and vit e especially for pregnancy.Also zita west does a supplement with the same ingredients for pregnancy. I have been reading on the site that u shouldnt take evening primrose! Help any ideas! Thanks
Everything I've read about EPO (& starflower) suggests that it/they should be avoided from ovulation onwards as may cause uterine contractions.
Flaxseed Oil contains Omega3 as well as GLA (which are present in EPO & starflower) but has higher levels. Flaxseed Oil is safe whilst ttc & during pregnancy.
I would always err on the side of caution when it comes to herbs.
Good luck & take care
Natasha
