During pregnancy, omega-3 fats (like those in fish) are deposited in the brain of the developing baby. Women get these fats from the diet but Australian women typically eat a diet low in fish. Because research has linked high fish intake in pregnancy with better IQ in children, omega-3 oils are included in some pregnancy supplements. However their effect on child development is not clear. This project will test whether taking fish oil while pregnant improves a child's IQ.

在怀孕期间，omega-3脂肪(和鱼中的脂肪一样)沉积在发育中的婴儿的大脑中。女性从饮食中获得这些脂肪，但澳大利亚女性通常饮食中鱼的含量较低。因为研究已经将怀孕期间高鱼类摄入量与儿童智商提高联系在一起，所以一些怀孕补充剂中包含了omega-3油。然而，它们对儿童发展的影响尚不清楚。该项目将测试怀孕期间服用鱼油是否能提高孩子的智商。
