Omega-3 Testing in Pregnancy
Babies do best when they are born full term. Healthy omega-3 levels can help reduce the chance of your baby being born too soon.
Knowing your omega-3 level helps your midwife or doctor decide whether omega-3 supplements are needed, and how much to take.
This page provides access to information resources developed by SAHMRI about omega‑3 testing in pregnancy. For comprehensive, up‑to‑date information about pregnancy care, please visit the SA Health website https://sahealth.sa.gov.au/pretermbirth
