This post was sponsored by Salveo and is about Omega-3 during Pregnancy.
Can I be honest with you? I feel like the worst mom in the world right now.
Instead of enjoying these precious moments with my newborn baby, I keep wondering if I have done enough for my baby’s development throughout my pregnancy.
I feel guilty.
I did not take my prenatal vitamins every day during my pregnancy.
Experts stress on this topic and I know how important it is for baby’s development but… I just couldn’t put myself through that torture again.
Every time I took a fish oil tablet, I ended up gagging or throwing up. Instead of being miserable, I decided to eat more fish and foods that were High in Omega-3 Fatty Acids.
Omega-3 DHA is essential for the development of baby’s central nervous system, the retina of the eye and to support memory and cognitive function after birth. However, a healthy diet or omega-3 supplements may not be enough to meet the needs of your baby’s growing brain and body.
Sometimes even the healthiest mothers may have low levels of omega-3 DHA due to either low intake or gastrointestinal malabsorption.
Did you know that approximately 70% of the total number of brain cells meant to last a person’s lifetime form BEFORE BIRTH and that the amount of DHA available during this time has been closely linked to INTELLIGENCE and COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE in infancy and childhood?
During pregnancy, you are your baby’s only source of omega-3 DHA but your body cannot produce this critical element for healthy development. It can only be acquired from diet and vitamins.
How would you know if you are doing enough for your baby’s development when it comes to omega-3 DHA?
That is a question that I have always asked myself and I recently found the answer to it!
Have you heard of the MyOmega screening test?
MyOmega was recently launched by Ecsponent Biotech in South Africa.
It’s a simple home test kit that uses a self-collectible blood spot (during pregnancy) to create an accurate analysis of your omega-3 DHA levels.
Why should you consider it?
The MyOmega 3 test gives you the peace of mind that you are providing adequate levels of omega-3 DHA to your child via a detailed report which includes recommendations based on findings. The report allows us moms to alter our diet, or take additional supplements, according to the context of our personal health profile.
Why test your blood?
It is the only way to get an accurate result in order to make the dietary changes that may be needed by measuring your blood level of omega-3s.
How does it work?
It literally takes you less than 10 minutes to do.
Once you purchased your kit, you can open it and read the instructions.
You will be given the following:
- A test requisition form to fill out.
- An alcohol prep pad.
- A lancet (small instrument to self-collect your blood sample) to prick your finger.
- A collection card for your blood.
- Courier bag to send the test sample in.
How do you use the kit?
- Read instructions carefully.
- Call the lab to request collection of your test.
- Wash your hands.
- Take the test by pricking your finger with the lancet and then immediately drop blood on the filter paper provided for collection.
- Let the blood spot dry for 20 minutes by holding it up before inserting it into the small white bag which will be sent for testing.
- Place the small bag along with the test requisition form into the delivery bag which will be collected.
- The test will then be collected by Ecsponent Biotech affiliated courier service for analyzing and you can expect your results within 7 days.
The test results are confidential.
Price:
The price of a MyOmega test is R 990 each, which includes the kit, the tests, and the results report with recommendations.
If you purchase your kit before the 1st of August 2017, you will pay R690 instead of R990! All you need to do is contact Salveo and mention You, Baby and I blog. To make use of this discount email [email protected] or call 0878080170.

I am more than halfway and have yet to pop 1 multivitamin! 🙁 Please don’t feel bad. You’re not alone and I’m sure your diet was adequate enough for you and your baby. (He’s gorgeous by the way).

Scrap Copper certification Copper is one of the oldest known metals and has been in use for over 10,000 years. The discovery of copper dates back to the Neolithic age, where evidence of its use has been found in artifacts dating to around 5000 BCE. The first use of copper for making tools, weapons, and ornaments was in the Middle East, and later spread to other parts of the world. Copper was also one of the first metals to be smelted from ores, a process that involves melting the ore to extract the metal. The smelting of copper is believed to have begun around 4500 BCE, and the process was gradually refined over thousands of years. In ancient times, copper was highly valued for its malleability, strength, and durability. It was used extensively in the construction of buildings, ships, and weapons, as well as in the creation of jewelry, coins, and other decorative items. The ancient Egyptians, for example, used copper extensively in their artwork, including the famous copper bust of Nefertiti. Copper also played a significant role in ancient religious beliefs and practices. The metal was associated with the goddess Aphrodite in Greek mythology and was used in the creation of sacred objects and offerings. In ancient India, copper was considered a symbol of wealth and prosperity and was used in ritual offerings to the gods. Today, copper continues to be a vital metal in modern industry, used in everything from electrical wiring to plumbing and electronics. However, its rich history and cultural significance make it a fascinating part of our ancient past as well Metal scrap recovery and reclamation Circular economy in copper recycling Copper sulfate recycling Copper nitrate recycling Copper scrap marketing strategies Metal recyclable materials
Copper scrap recycling company Copper has been used by humans for thousands of years. Archaeological evidence shows that copper was used as far back as 8000 BCE in the Middle East. Copper was the first metal to be worked and shaped into tools, weapons, and household items in the Bronze Age. The importance of copper in human life lies in its ability to conduct electricity. This property makes copper a valuable metal in the electrical industry since it provides a low-resistance pathway for electricity to flow. Throughout history, people have used copper to create various objects, from jewelry and cooking utensils to art and architecture. Copper has also been used in coins, as currency, and in medicine for its antimicrobial properties. There are many famous examples of copper being used in architecture, such as the Statue of Liberty, which is made primarily out of copper. The dome of the United States Capitol building in Washington, D.C., is also made of copper. In addition to its practical uses, copper has also been valued for its beauty. It has a unique reddish-orange color that is highly sought after for decorative purposes. In modern times, copper is still widely used in construction, as well as in electronics and electrical wiring. It can also be found in various industrial applications, including heat exchangers and water pipelines. Overall, copper has played a significant role in human life throughout history, and its importance continues to this day. Its versatility, conductivity, and beauty make it a valuable and highly sought-after metal in a range of industries Scrap metal inventory services Copper strip recycling Copper scrap dealers Copper scrap life cycle assessment Copper scrap yard prices Scrap metal certifications
