The pain of childbirth in October must be unbearable for the mothers who have experienced it. So we all want to shorten the labor process and make ourselves less painful. Among them, drinking honey before birth can shorten the labor process. Is that true? What's the benefit of honey before birth?
Drinking honey water before delivery, jasmine tea before delivery and eating chocolate before delivery are all over the forum websites, presumably many expectant mothers have also used them. In fact, Xiaobian wants to tell you that these methods to shorten the labor process are actually to comfort pregnant mothers and increase their confidence in childbirth. It's like reading a few pages of books before an exam. In fact, they don't help much, but they give themselves a hint and a peace of mind.
Maybe a lot of mums said that they tried to drink honey water, and then the labor process really shortened. What Xiaobian wants to tell you is that honey is mainly composed of sugar, which can make pregnant women replenish energy and physical strength during childbirth and help production. Therefore, drinking honey water before childbirth is the same as eating chocolate and other calorie foods before childbirth. It can only help pregnant women replenish physical strength, but it does not shorten the labor process. In short, honey is a kind of high calorie food with single nutrition, which is not a good health product.
Since drinking honey water can't shorten the labor process, can it?
What method can shorten the labor process? First, let's understand the next labor process time. The delivery process of pregnant women is divided into three stages: the first stage, 6-12 hours. It may take 12 hours for the first child, 6 hours for the second or more, and 1-2 hours for the second birth. It takes 2 hours for a pregnant woman to have a baby for the first time; 3-30 minutes for the third stage. This is the time from the birth of the fetus to the delivery of the placenta, which is easy to pass. If pregnant women need to shorten the labor process due to their own or fetal accidents, such as amniotic fluid turbidity, doctors can use oxytocin and oxytocin to shorten the labor process according to the specific situation. Under normal circumstances, pregnant women and fetuses have no problems. It is better not to use these methods to shorten the labor process. However, the methods of shortening the labor process circulated among online pregnant mothers are basically useless.
In fact, instead of shortening the labor process, it's better to prepare well before delivery, supplement calories and maintain enough physical strength. Under the guidance of the doctor, you can eat some energy supplement food to help the production. It is worth noting that energy supplement refers to the perinatal period.
