You can take flax oil safely. Your body will convert about 20% of the flax to EPA and DHA.

There are some vegetarian DHAs with no other vitamins in them.

Naturemade makes one:

And there are many others... just Google DHA vegetarian

If you suspect you have the MTHFR mutation, you need methylB12 and methylfolate. The regular folic acid will not convert in those with this error, and it just builds up in the system. Your baby needs the methylfolate. Most prenatals do not have that form in them.

You can get the methylation DNA testing now, so you know for sure. 23andme does it OTC and is online.
