Can you take pain relievers during childbirth?

Patient's question:

Description of the condition: As the title says, if you want to have a natural birth, can you take pain relievers in advance? For example, Advil. Or can you take them when you have a episiotomy and stitches after giving birth? Past treatment history and effectiveness: Has anyone had similar experience? What kind of help do you need: What are the potential side effects of taking them?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, regarding your situation, it is best not to eat certain foods to avoid any impact on the fetus. If your pregnancy symptoms are severe, it is recommended to consume easily digestible foods. Additionally, you can supplement with yogurt, folic acid, prebiotics, An-Yun Bu-Niu colostrum powder, and prenatal calcium. Eating a few pieces of biscuits or whole wheat bread while sitting in bed before going to sleep or upon waking up can help alleviate nausea and increase food intake. It is advisable to reduce the consumption of greasy and hard-to-digest foods while increasing the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. Consuming foods rich in Vitamin B6, such as liver, potatoes, oats, brown rice, peanuts, wheat germ, and honey, can also help reduce morning sickness.
