Is medication effective during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

During this period, does the consumption of alpha-linolenic acid convert into DHA enough for the fetus? Some people say that alpha-linolenic acid does not convert much during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, and very little can be converted. Eating more doesn't make much sense. Is this true?

Doctor's answer:

Only then can one say that this thing is beneficial and harmless. It is impossible to quantify how much benefit it actually provides. Pregnant women who eat everything without restraint are actually getting good nutrition. These things are only seen in the instructions or what the salesperson verbally claims to be good, but no one who has used them has truly felt any significant improvement. If you hope for your baby to be smart, you can adopt dietary methods to supplement nutrition. For example, you can eat more black sesame seeds, walnuts, and milk regularly.
