What nutrients should be supplemented during the fifth month of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What nutrients should I supplement at five months pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, a 5-month-old embryo has entered the developmental stage, and this period sees rapid growth, making it easier to experience deficiencies in trace elements. Additionally, since the nervous system develops first, it's important to focus on supplementing with lecithin and other nutrients. It's advisable to consume more chicken liver, egg yolks, longans, and walnuts in your daily diet to maintain a balanced nutrition, which is very beneficial for the baby's development. You can also eat some peanuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and walnut kernels, but avoid excessive intake.
