Patient's question:
I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Is it a problem to eat two pieces of dark chocolate before entering the delivery room?Doctor's answer:
Hello, black chocolate has an activating effect on proteolytic enzymes in gastric juice, which can aid digestion. Eating black chocolate instead of milk chocolate can increase the body's antioxidant levels. Do not eat it before delivery to prevent vomiting. It is possible, but the chance is relatively small, so there is no need to worry too much; wait and see if your period comes next month. If it doesn't, go to the hospital for a check-up.
