Women that carry to full-term generally deliver babies with higher birth
weights. This encourages complete prenatal development, and therefore, a
healthy baby. Increased
levels of omega-3s from fish oil supplementation has been shown to have a
positive effect
on prolonging the duration of pregnancy. Even among
women with a history of premature
deliveries, increased essential fatty acid levels have been shown to reduce the
risk of
premature births. (13)
