Does fish oil, containing EPA and DHA contain vitamins A and D ?
I thought only codfish-oil contains vit A and D, or am I wrong ?
I have heard fish-oil in pregnancy is a good thing, is this correct, please
?

Cod *liver* oil contains A and D, but fish oil doesn't.

Yes, because a growing brain needs omega 3 fatty acids for proper

true.

Just thought that you might want to know. :)
