Please can you clarify your question. I am sorry I was not clearer.

I was trying to reflect that trials are showing a suggestion of communality between mechanisms employed by the body to make babies and tumours.

If you were asking about the effect of pregnancy on DHA:

Re pregnancy and omega threes and sixes - a subject on its own - but in essence babies need large amounts of DHA to make brains eyes etc. Babies are "Parasitic", in that they take preference over the mother. They will even strip mothers brain of essential fats inc DHA if they have to. So for women who have had one or more pregnancies and a diet lacking in long chain omega threes/ and or mother omega three / and or inability to make long chain fats ..........they may have much lower levels than normal of DHA.

Some small trials link lower levels of DHA with higher BC risk
