Are there any benefits eating bird nest during pregnancy?

Been seeing some ladies consume bird nest during pregnancy. I wondered if there are any benefits to do so? Or is it just a gimmick.

In general birds nest contains protein and amino acids. It's always touted as a "health beverage" but I've not been able to find much scientific backing to it. There are old wives' tales about bb having good skin because of birds nest but honestly that's just genetics I personally cannot see any health benefits to birds nest consumption but I just drink it cos my MIL insists 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
