Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Itsbebetter to avoid taking fish oil pills in pregnancy, as they contain high level of vitamins.
Instead, you can take capsules containing recommended level of DHA , which is safer.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
