Further, it is now recognized that levels in fish are much more variable than previously recognized [35]; therefore, caution must be taken in using data from Table 2. Other concerns about consumption of fish or fish oils include consumption of too much mercury and vitamin A." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J.

For the fetus, a deficiency of EFAs, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and DHA, may lead to a poorly developed central nervous system." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "A more recent study of pregnant women in Iceland showed that consuming liquid cod liver oil in the first 15 weeks of pregnancy resulted in babies with higher birth weight.101 Higher infant birth weight is related to a lower prevalence of cardiac disease, high hypertension, and glucose intolerance in the future.102'103 Additional good news was that the women did not gain more weight, despite their consumption of increased calories and fat from the oil.
