Question: I love bird’s nest, but it’s such an expensive delicacy. Does it offer any health benefits for mother and child?

Answer: According to Chinese beliefs, having bird’s nest during pregnancy will help the unborn baby to develop strong immune functions, and the mother to recover faster after giving birth.
There are currently no reliable clinical studies to confirm this. But as long as you feel fine taking it, just continue to do so.
