I take a fish free DHA supplement from Spectrum. I believe it's algae based.

Why would flax be a bad idea? I had no idea it could be.

I guess I've looked through a lot of info about what not to eat when pregnant, but I've never seen anything about flax seed being bad.

I am also confused about why it would be bad? I have some organic flax seed that I put into my yogurt every morning for the omega 3s and a little extra protein. So, please do tell what is causing your concern.
