How should a pregnant woman eat one week before delivery?

Patient's question:

How should a pregnant woman diet in the week before giving birth? I heard from a few of my good friends that they should eat more good things, after all, they need strength to give birth at that time. So I wanted to ask, what should be paid attention to in general dietary aspects? What kind of food will help provide support?

Doctor's answer:

If a pregnant woman does not have any complications, then in the early stages of pregnancy, a normal diet is sufficient. Generally, it is not recommended to overeat during the later stages of pregnancy, and the weight of the fetus should be appropriately controlled. You can prepare high-calorie foods such as chocolate and energy drinks for delivery. Consuming these near the time of labor can help increase strength and prepare the patient for the challenges of delivery. If labor persists and the condition is not improving, we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If labor does not resolve despite treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
