What to eat before delivery to help with labor

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please tell me what to eat before labor to help with the delivery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, usually after the baby engages in the pelvis, delivery will occur within a week. It is necessary to prepare for delivery, and you can choose between natural delivery or cesarean section to terminate the pregnancy based on the condition of the fetus and the mother.
Pregnancy taboos 1: Haws and its products should be avoided by pregnant women. Modern medicine has confirmed that haws have a uterine contracting effect. If pregnant women consume large amounts of hawthorn products, it may stimulate uterine contractions and even lead to miscarriage.
Pregnancy taboos 2: Pregnant women should avoid eating hot foods, as they can increase internal heat in the body, which hinders the body's ability to gather blood and nourish the fetus. Lychees and longans are exactly such fruits.
Pregnancy taboos 3: Pregnant women should avoid foods: Coffee, strong tea, spicy foods, alcohol, and a husband's smoking can all produce adverse stimuli to the fetus, affecting normal development and even causing fetal malformations.
