In the case of Mollers cod liver oil, the manufacturer included the following information:
"Taking other preparations with vitamins A and D by pregnant women should be consulted with a doctor. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose."
According to literature data, the daily recommended intake for vitamin A for a pregnant woman is between 700 mcg and 1 mg (depending on the source). There is 250 mcg of natural vitamin A in 5 ml of Mollers fish oil. Supplementation above 10,000 units of vitamin A (approx. 5,500 mcg = 5.5 mg) is dangerous.
We wrote about vitamin A in the article:

On the other hand, you can read about Mollers cod liver oil in the summary:
Is there any liquid supplement that will provide dha, folic acid, iodine and vit d?
PS. There is vit A in this mullers oil, doesn't it bother? because apparently it cannot be used during pregnancy

Preparations such as Prenasol, Omegamed Opima forte should be swallowed whole. Manufacturers do not take into account the possibility of crushing or opening DHA capsules.
If you have difficulty swallowing dietary supplements in the form of tablets or capsules, I encourage you to use the liquid preparations available in online and stationary pharmacies. For example, DHA acids are available in preparations such as:

https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/101102/iskial-junior-w-plynie-plyn/apteki
Choosing the offer of an online pharmacy allows you to compare prices and order preparations with home delivery or personal collection at the selected pharmacy.
